Belief And Non-Belief-Are They The Same?
by choosing life inafter reading the frequent threads on atheism verses theism, i find that both are very passionate about one thing, their beliefs.
atheists may not believe in god, but they are firm believers in the abscence of a god and evolution.
theists, on the other hand, are just as firm in their belief in a god and usually creation.

What Life Teaches You
by choosing life ini am not sure whether it is chronic illness or just experience in life that has changed me.
but i think i really understand some things that can't be taught except through experience.. i was told by a jw today to find someone else to do business with.
we have been dealing with him for 25 years, my entire family.

Fading Music
by choosing life inif there was only one cd you could choose that helped you through the time you were fading from one set of choices to another, which one would it be?
just one now.. mine would be cheryl crow-wildflower.
of course there were others, but i limited this to just one.there are several songs on there that helped me express my feelings.. then, i also relistened to all my old music.

The Path Not Taken
by choosing life inthere comes a time when you realize that there are paths you can no longer go down.
at first, it is hard to tell whether the path changes or you change.
but the farther along the new path you travel, the more you find that it is really you, yourself that has changed.

What Religion Are You?
by choosing life ini know a lot of posters are not religious and others feel no need to attend a church.
but, for those that do attend somewhere, i was curious as to what type of church they chose after leaving the jws and what attracted them to that particular church or religion?
if you were not raised as a jw, did you return to the church you were raised in?

Marrying An Unbeliever
by choosing life inare there new rules about attending the weddings of jws who marry a non-jw?
there was a recent incident where a jw and non jw had a wedding reception and invited jws.
the jws were secretly warned that if they dared to attend the reception, they would lose any priveleges in the congregation.. before, when the reception was being discussed at the hall, even elder's wives stated to the couple not to forget to invite them.

They Came By
by choosing life ini was sick with the flu in bed when two witnesses decided to stop by in service.
i wasn't going to answer the door, but they just kept pounding, so i thought it might be someone who needed something.
i drag myself out of bed and put on a robe and peek out.

Giving Up The Struggle

the details no longer matter to me.
i just kinda gave up on the struggle to be right or in the know.
