Chalam, Stephen, will you please supplicate the Holy One to overlook John Doe's foibles?
He knows not what he does.
Sylvia
Since Chalam and Stephen are not responding, I'll supplicate the Holy One to overlook John Doe's foibles --
Simon! Please tell Chalam and Stephen to stop picking on John Doe!
Amen.
i ordered both of franz books, and have received just by dumb luck the coc first, and will start reading it tonight.
my husband hates to read, and i could spend every waking moment doing so, so i have committed to reading the book aloud to him, and we will do so in the evenings for as long as it takes to go through the whole thing, and then start on the 2nd.
also, i've decided to start looking into getting my rn degree, i've always thought i'd be good at it, and it should follow me if i decide to move, nurses are needed everywhere.
Also, I've decided to start looking into getting my RN degree .... Just tell me I can do it. Thank you in advance.
You can do it. No thanks necessary. I'm an aging baby-boomer. My generation needs all the nurses it can get.
lately the a/w mags have a lot of negative ads about other religions:ex.
"exposed six myths about christianity" or "how can you choose a good religion" on and on and on all negative stuff.you would thing an election is going on with all the mud slinging.how we are better than you.. also all the awake articles are food for the dr.phil and oprah shows ie.depression,alcohol,working,wealth,money,etc,etc.
bob.
How we are better than you.
That's the WTS mantra. Some are superior to others because they succeed. Some, too lazy to try, attempt to create a false superiority by belittling others.
i want to live outside the box.. i live in a box, or series of boxes strung together into what humans call rooms.
it is nice but sometimes gets too warm.
i want to get out of my boxes.
On the other hand, living part-time in a box of your own making may work out just fine. Subscribe to "Mother Earth News" and read "Living the Good Life" by Scott and Helen Nearing.
I would suggest "Walden" if you haven't already read it, but remember, Thoreau lived on Emerson's land and often went to dinner at the Emersons' when he got tired of eating his much-celebrated beans. And, after two years in the forest, he chose to go back to one of the worst "boxes" of all -- a factory.

Maybe one day I'll make my home under the stars and pick fruit off trees and live happily with all the animals.
Be careful what you wish for. "Nature [is] red in tooth and claw." (Tennyson)
Even poor John Denver found that to be true.
help me out here i am confused.
- of course the internet is free for all and everyone has a right to their say, i appreciate that, and i am also aware that there are a lot of people who dont believe particulatly but do not want to rock the boat of their life - its easier to just take a backseat (though in my experience that made me ill in the end).
but i have noticed as i read, that there are some advocates for the organization who are active, practicing and believe it fully.. i was a jw for 25 years and in that time, bad association was mentioned constantly and then especially in the last ten years, the dangers of the internet and the warnings to witnesses not to surf or interact with websites that had an affiliation with jws unless it was the official watchtower.borg site.. now, correct me if i am wrong, but if people are active, practicing and believe it fully, then why would they associate with dfd and dad people on these forums?
Most of the JW "apologists" that come here are not dubs anymore. They may be DFed and trying to get back in, or inactive but still "believers."
I can remember only a few of the latest apologists' reasons for coming here -- one said she would "answer to Jehovah" for participating here, whatever that meant. Another said he wasn't currently "an official JW practitioner," whatever that meant.
The point has been made here many times that the most ferocious defenders of dubdom turn out to be ex-dubs.
Strange but true.

After a heavy rain, most roads will be impassable.
It should be around lunchtime there, snowbird. Your boss should let you go home NOW. (tell him I said so. )
If you could read and attend to class discussion at the same time, you're way too smart to be answering phones!!!!

Hang in there, snowbird. After Katrina, any approaching storm would make one apprehensive. We'll probably get some rain from it here in PA later on.
sure does remind me of the recent book study about beating one's wife.. at least the women are speaking up and demanding that beatings stop!.

Unbelievable.
Those wife-beaters should appear on the U.S. talk show circuit to defend their right to beat women. I don't think they would fare as well as they apparently do in the Middle East.
BTW, there are a few acceptable ways to beat your wife in this country -- at tennis, chess, golf, etc. Of course, the men can be beaten too.
brothers and sisters, rejoice!.
for jehovah is making your heart happy!
jehovahs witnesses are known as a "happy people", and do you know why that is?.
But imagine if Akroyd & Murray had one of those,...and a visit to a KH was in the film?
That would have made a great scene -- dubs running and screaming when the demon dectector pegs the needle over the Memorial wine.
