SOoooo many are leaving the forum.
by AK - Jeff init is sad - but it is growth for them too.
forums like this do seem to feed the obsession that we are trying to shed, don't they?
i have spent less time here over the past few months.

jws celebrate birthdays?!
by dobbie ini was speaking to a friend last night, trying to explain why i don't go to meetings etc,(waste of time though she just can't seem to understand my point whatever i say), anyway she said as long as i don't d'a myself she can still speak to me.
she said they only d'f you if you commit a gross sin.
i refuted this saying if they knew i didn't agree with some of the teachings, sent a fathers day card etc and you weren't sorry they'd get rid of you.

80% of Near Death Experiencers Can't Wear Watches...
by FMZ ini have had about 5 digital watches since my nde when i was young.

Question for Christians only
by Steve Lowry inok, i got save in 1984 (left the wbts 1979).
i have always felt at a loss when it has come to the emotional impact aspect of jesus' sacrifice.
what i mean to say is, that i have seen other christians openly weep about jesus and his death on the cross, while i have felt nothing.

I am New and I Am Being Discriminated At Work For NOT BEING A Catholic
by Zelaira inand also catholics and lutherans who hate on jws are harrasssing because they are blindsided and i am sick of it .... why do witnesses have such hate poured on them by catholics and lutheran groups?
also, how do you deal with not celebrating holidays?
is it wrong to wear crosses or can it be a gothic thing that a witness can possibly understand?

Do you think that the JW's really care if they bring people to the Org.

Are "orbs" in photographs spirits?
by LovesDubs inas weird as i may be perceived, i do believe you can catch spirit entities on film.
and the more you believe in them the more you get on your pictures.
they are attracted to frovility, laughing, children, parties, families...and i take pictures at every function i go to and they arent always there.

I dont want to face death
by LovesDubs ini just heard that two of the fathers of childhood friends of mine, one of them the first boy i ever loved, and the other the head of a good catholic family with eight kids who lived across the street from us, died within days of each other.
im my mind, those families are frozen in time about 35 years ago when i last saw any of them, and i couldnt conceive of them being gone.. i dont know why but those two men being gone really got to me.
i wasnt close to them or anything but it brought home the very real thought that my own parents are going to go soon...and leave me and my two sibs on the planet to carry on.
