My skirts were theocratic skirts: T-length and floral!
I was righteous.
i used to think that the theocratic ministry school was extremely valuable.. and i think it does have it's value.. but i think public speaking has changed so dramatically the last few years.. last time i went to the kh... the public speakers were speaking at a very "low" level.. i think part of the thing the current crop of religious speakers (like joel osteen, etc... they are so dynamic.. and even speakers like tony robbins.... i think the style of speaking for witness speakers has become old school.. granted - yes... they have an audience that is "obligated" to listen to them.
but they have not evolved at all as public speakers - and probably is getting worse.. most public speakers aren't glued to an outline.... just a thought.... .

it's bad enough that i am being shunned in real life by my family in ohio who i had always been close to.
ever since i have had at least one dream a week about being around my family but they refuse to talk to me.. will the dreams ever stop?
how can i make them stop?.
It took about 5 years for my dreams to stop.
I quit the WTS about a year after the robbery and began rebuilding my life as it should be.
The dreams gradually stopped as I rebuilt my life.
Good one!

As a sister giving a 5 minute talk every 6 months, I learned absolutely nothing except to move my hands around when I spoke.
When I took a college level speech course, I got a 'C', everything being so new to me.
That oxygen deprived red speech book taught nothing compared to the college class.
The class taught me how to write and deliver a speech.
The KH "class" taught me that in that 5 minutes I was up there, I needed to move my hands more.
No comparison.

Wow, bad owners for sure. Poor lady.
I kind of wondered why nearly everyone gives me and my dog a large margine, walking way around us.
GOOD! I feel safer that way.
My dog is ridgeback/pit mix.
you are all demonized apostates don't you know this, this is exactly what the slave was warning us about not to take apostate tracts and listen to apostates now you're all doing the same thing you were warned against and now you've corruspted my mind and made me mentally diseased and i hope jehovah destroys you all at armageddon!!!

Badfish, You're funny. But seriously, stop making excuses for your alcoholism and get into treatment.
Every time you raise the glass to your mouth, you are making a decision.
Your decision, your responsibility.
No scape goats here. Satan doesn't exist.
any other reason than the arbitrary explanation that you were brainwashed or seduced by a millenarianist doomsday cult?.

Thanks! Are you here, too?
john, his brother james, and their father,.
(john 3:1, 2; 19:38) this fear.
overcome fear of man.
Yes, Truthlover, that gender favoring really stood out to me, too.
I mean, imagine a stranger coming to your home all dressed up like a business-person or politician and asking if he could speak to the male head of the house.
Huge turn off right there for both of them, I expect.
Well, I should be happy that they are slowly hanging themselves with these dated practices that offend so many.
Thanks for the review, Blondie!
