  Thoughts on my life now

  by freshstart in

  2. experiences

  though there are still problems in my life, as with everyone's life, i see the world so much differently now.

  i no longer feel threatened from "worldly" people, as though somehow they are out to destroy me or take advantage of me.

  it's very mentally liberating to realize that those walls the organization so erroneously put up can be scaled and that there is true beauty waiting on the other side.

  i was in the mood today... got the tree cheap (came w/lights), decorations and ribbon for half price and made the bow myself to save money.

  i was going to put it aside until after thanksgiving, but couldn't resist completing the project.

  i just have to get some fiber fill for "snow" at the base.

  What's the latest status on ol' Brother Prince Rogers Nelson?

  i was last affiliated with a minneapolis area congregation a few years back.

  we saw prince and the larry graham entourage at a sunday meeting once and at many assemblies and conventions.

  i know he was affiliated with a congregation in a city named chanhassen at one time.

  I think Prince is a hottie!! Sexy, too short for my taste but love him never the less.

  He probably does get treated with favortism because of who he is. If anyone had told me years ago that everyone at the KH was not treated equal, I would have never believed it. Yes, I was that naive.

  2. friends

  the merrimack congregation in nh is seeking to buy land and build a new kh, the nh rbc has plans to build a $750,000 (that's right a three quarter million kh).

  "the branch" has wanted to build a kh between the cities of concord and manchester nh for quite a few years now.

  unfortunately the wt has looked into their resources, local bank account is over $100,000, and they can contribute $2,000 monthly towards a mortgage.

  what was your experience like as a kid on halloween growing up in a jw family?.

  i was raised in a jw family but never got baptized.. my father used to make me and my sister put old awakes and watchtower's in the trick or treaters' bags.

  we would say: "i don't celebrate halloween but here's a treat for you!

  "We have lots of jw's on our estate in Tamworth so we made a return visit on them to place a number of nails under the tyres of the 2 BMW X5'S they have to lord it over the congregation that they are better than anyone else. I am very bad."

  This is so funny!! Shame on you! lol I'll admit, there's a few people I would like to do this to. Glad you and your kids enjoyed trick or treating. Isn't it nice to do nromal things with your family?
