This evening I decided to take a nap, and man did I crash. I got woke up when some one knocked on my door (some guy looking for votes). Anyways while I was sleeping I had a very weird dream (I don't dream much anymore, or at least remember them.) Here is the dream.

I was walking and passed a whole bunch of JWs, all singing the Happy Birthday Song. Shortly after they passed, I met a friend that I have not seen in over 15 years (also a JW). I did not want her to know that I was no longer a JW, because she would not speak to me. But I had to find out why those people were singing the Happy Birthday Song. After we hugged each other, I brought up what about the "New Light", and then she pulled out a Watchtower. I was looking through that magazine, and the "New Light" in my dream was now that The Watchtower said it was OK to celebrate both Birthdays and Christmas................. It was at that point while reading this, when that person came knocking at my door.

I LOVE the internet

now let me back up a bit.

today was parent/teacher's conference.

my son (6 grade) is very bad at either not doing his home work, or just not turning it in.

I did it to research the Watchtower back in 2001. And again today, it helped my son in his school work. Now let me back up a bit. Today was parent/teacher's conference. My son (6 grade) is very bad at either not doing his home work, or just not turning it in. Some times I just feel like pulling out my hair with him. Anyways, I was wondering why in one class he took a very big drop (he had a B, and it dropped to a D). Found out it was because of this. In January, he went on a field trip to the Shilo Museum, and they learned the history of the telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer. At the time, they were to fill out a two pages of questions about what they learned. He never did it. But the teacher said that if he turned it in, that he would still get credit for it. So for the last 2 hours, he and I searched the internet for the answers. My son is the type who has a very short attention span. That last 10 minutes was a real duzy. Now my brain is all tuckered out.

My husband and I will be getting into our own home, before this year is over. We are both hoping sooner rather than later. With renting, owning a dog was very much out of the question. I have made the mistake in the past of getting a dog for a pet, only to find that due to different things, we were not "right" for each other. So this time around, I want to do a little research and find one that would fit our family. Yes, research is some thing that I have really gotten use to with learning about the watchtower.

Any ways, our family consist of 2 boys (10 and 12), my husband and myself. We also have two cats, and planning on getting at least one more once we move in. (I already know that certain dogs do not like cats.) We would like to get one, that the neighbors would not view as a threat. But will protect the family in the case of a break in. Any ideas?

Have you started to do "bad" things now, or want to?

Depends on what you consider bad

If your talking bad like murder, theft, drugs, and other illegal things, then no.

If you consider bad things like the celibarating the holidays, sleeping in late on Sundays, and well just enjoying my family and life, then yes, a big fat yes. I even had a blood transfusion, that has allowed me to still be here to raise my children.

I live in an apartment complex, and our cable is through a satellite provider. If any of you are familar, one of the down side to satellite is that if the weather get very nasty, it can and will loose connection. A while back I was watching a movie on the Sci-Fi channel. During this movie, we ended up having a very heavy rain storm. Needless to say I did not get to see the end of this film. And the bad thing is that I can not remember the title to this movie to look it up. Maybe some one here can tell me the name of this movie, from what I can tell you that I saw of it.

At the start of the movie it shows parents bringing their young children into the hospital, because they had fell into some kind of coma. This had happened all around the world. In this one town, they had closed down the school, and turned into a make shift hospital to keep all the children who was in this coma.

Then about 10 years later, the children, now in their teens, all woke up at the same time, killing everyone that was over the age of 20.

Joy Or Sorrow When You First Found Out It Was False?

by serotonin_wraith in

friends

for me, it was joy.

i was raised in the religion, and i always figured i'd be dying along with 6 billion others because i hated the meetings, the preaching work and the rules, morality and threats of 'jehovah'.

i did not want it to be true.. for others here, finding out it was false was a hard time to go through.. as well as asking which feelings you had at first (joy/sorrow/or add your own) i have a follow up question for those who found it hard- what was it that made the impending deaths of 6 billion people okay for you?

Irish Rose

First I was angry, very angry. I was so mad that I threw away everything that came from the Watchtower. After that, I felt a very heavy weight lift from my shoulders.
