Disfellowshipped: Did you believe you were d'fd in heaven too?
by Flowerpetal ini remember in past conventions, years ago, talks dealing with what happens when one is disfellowshipped.
the talks mentioned that not only is a person df'd.
from the congregation/organization but they are df'd in heaven as well.

Here's one for ya....
by Flowerpetal indid you ever notice that when someone was disciplined in the congregation (df'd or reproved) and maybe you got wind of what is was for, it then seemed like a lot or articles in the wt magazine or public talks appeared on that person's "si?
" like they were being disciplined by jehovah?
did you ever think that or did you think it was just coincidence?

I got a Memorial invitation today
by Flowerpetal inwell, i let my feelings about some things seep out today when an elder came by to invite me to the memorial.
of course, this elder, whom my husband and i have known for over 20 yrs, is one who i think jumps around on subjects, no matter what they are concerning, and doesn't stick or listen to the thoughts that anyone wants to express so when i tried to express mine...my reason why i am not attending the memorial, although i haven't for the past 3 yrs., he brings my dead mother into it..saying she would be pleased if i would come back to the hall or at least to memorial because his agenda was to get me to say i was coming to the memorial.
i started telling him not to put that on me but he didn't hear me because he kept on and on in his own thought patterns, stating that the society says we are in the last of the last days...so i asked, how many "lasts" are they going to put on the last days?

Just throwing something out here.....
by Flowerpetal infrom a book i'm reading by steve allen (on the bible, religion & morality):.
in times of war or other national danger, the freedom of the total population is guaranteed by immediate restrictions upon the freedom of those who are drafted for military service.
even in the freest of nations, men in uniform live under the strictest sort of totalitarian --not democratic -- rule, earn small incomes, and in almost all particulars live under precisely that sort of system that free men are supposed to abhor deeply.

An interesting website I thought I'd share
by Flowerpetal inin reading leolaia's comments about the nephelim and referring to the book of enoch, being the curious person i am, went on a search of the book of jubilees and came across this site: http://www.earth-history.com/preface.htm.
during later years i became more and more interested in the ancient history of mankind and the written stories from all over the world including the myths, legends and sages.
during this study it became very clear that the stories in the bible were not unique, and had been told of and written about everywhere around the ancient world.. when looking for evidence i began to read the history of mesopotamia, assyria, egypt and other regions and soon found out what i had already presumed.. because of this new evidence i started reading the bible again, only now as an historical book.
