  this morning i saw a witness mother and her son heading out into service.

  from the area they were in i think they were going to be doing some street corner work.

  i was stopped at a light when they walked in front of my car.

  that's so sad. i remember when i would go to my grandparents house (who aren't jw's thank "whoever") they would always ask my mom why we looked so sad and never talked. i believe its a form of child abuse also. It's so sad

  i know a lot of you do meditation and i thought i would share a recent experience with you all.

  it's been almost 2 years since i left the mental bondage of the org.

  and it's been a journey with lots of twists and turns.

  then why do the walk so slow when out in field service?????????.

  honestly, i saw some dubs out witnessing yesterday and they have invented the "worlds most incredible slow walk".

  it makes a glacier look like a speeding avalanche.

  Zack i beg to differ. i agree that they don't have a life saving work but i don't agree that they know that and are all just counting their time. I would say MOST are but not all. when i was pioneering i really and honestly thought i had the truth and truly loved talking about it thinking i was doing these people good. i know now i was stupid and wrong but that doesn't mean that i wasn't honest about it.

  they do that because no matter what they say it's uncomfortable to them to go to a strangers door and talk to them about the Bible. It's sad...

  what you need to do is go to an insane party don't hold anything back and do what you want. drink way too much, smoke whatever you want, and party like a rockstar the next day you'll be hung over and you'll be in too much pain to focus on the guilt. it will go away eventually.

  my hubby bought me a book yesterday called "Zen and the Art of Happiness" by Chris Prentiss when i got home from work i started reading and i couldn't put it down. i read the whole thing and i have to say i am much MUCH more interested in meditating now. i tried it last night sitting still with my back straight and focusing on my breathing but i can't seem to keep my mind off other things. and the book said if you find that you mind is wandering gently bring it back to your breathing. i can't seem to do it though and my back started to hurt a little so i couldn't stay focused. but i am definately going to continue to try. that book kind of gave me this peace that i didn't have before. it was strange. It was an entirely different way to look at life. any suggestions for a beginner?

  that's a good idea! everyone should come down for mardi gras! lol but for real that would be a great idea to have a international meet up... get together... it would be like an international convention. lol
