News Update
by Amazing ini have been away for a couple of weeks, distracted by legal, work and health issues.
it all came down at a time when i am trying to get some things done regarding the jw child abuse issues.. added to my heart disease is disbetes ... cool ... in addition to not having fats, cholestrol, caffiene, cigarettes and sodium ... now i have to cut out carbs, sugar, coke, and take more medicine.
my diet is reduced to a thin piece of clear fibre paper every other night, forty pills, and purified water.

Hmmm My mother's 70th birthday today
by Lady Lee inmost of the time i don't even think of it.
but yesterday i wrote and checque and the date reminded me of what today is.. years ago she married an unbeliever.
when he tried to be nice and bought her flowers for her b-day she yelled at him and threw them in the garbage.. so... i won't be calling her just to get yelled at.. funny thing is though that when i was a jw she would call me on my birthday (and that of the girls) to wish us happy birthday.

Just Because We Disagree With Someone Doesn't Mean They're Not Welcomed
by minimus ini am seeing something interesting going on the board here.
if a poster, especially, a new one says something considered unpopular around here, and another poster refutes or disagrees, some people suggest that we're not being kind or welcoming to new ones or to those that have a differing view.
i don't think that this is what we're collectively trying to tell a person that doesn't share the majority viewpoint.

Why does the society try to keep the R&F so busy?
by Flowerpetal ini was thinking this morning on some things, and the story/series on hbo currently, carnivale, is showing the not so nice side of humanity.
we all have our dark side.
everybody in this world has one, i believe.

Out of the mist
by Greenpalmtreestillmine ini posted here just a little back in january of 2001. i scrambled out of here right quick then since i was still active and fearful of so many things.
i am inactive but not exactly a non jw yet.
i am a conservative person and still believe that some of the teachings of jws are good though i do not agree with everything that's for sure!
