  Laverite- No actually, it wasnt her husband, crazy, huh? It was too late before I noticed, so I couldn't help her.

  badcompany- thats so sad, treating people like they have to be in the school, even if they cant read.

  A sister was walking up to the stage with her skirt tucked into the top of her panty hose, a brother got up and pulled her skirt out of her hose!

  Things That Matter and Things That Don't

  being a jehovah's witness at any time and at any level is a major head f*ck.

  the reason is that it obscures what is important and causes you to focus on what doesn't matter.. i've moved on from my jw experience.

  it's a shame that i found myself a born in, taught to focus on things that don't matter.

  Agreed PS, searching is very valuable. I have alot more questions than I have answers, thats why I come here. I like to see several peoples view points and yes, I decide for myself, I dont let other people decide what I believe for me, not the athiests, other groups , or other christians. I let the wt do that for me for over 20 yrs, and nobody here is going to do that for me now.

  In my view, the nature of God is a mystery, we aren't God, we are not always going to have answers in black & white. Thats what I love about freedom in Christ. We can have different viewpoints. We aren't jws anymore, we dont have to have all the answers, we dont have to be right. Sometimes, or alot, I think people on this board (not speaking of you) are looking for black or white answers to questions we are just not going to get. I try to just practice child like faith. I believe Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin, raised from the dead. Everything else for me is a surprise, I love surprises.

  I dont know void, but maybe those who stayed in heaven agree with God and chose to stay, unlike those who didn't and left with Satan. If trinitarian are correct, he's God and cant. I suppose at least satan thought he had a chance to make him fall or he wouldn't have tried, at least in Christs human state.
