Dear Flipper, due to our time difference (I must be 8 to 11 hours ahead of you), I'm often asleep while you are posting, so it's just now that I've logged in and seen your last post. I immediately went to "Active topics", as far back as page 8280, and didn't see the thread you mentioned. Are my eyes tricking me? How annoying! Thanks for trying, anyway. I appreciate it very much.

Thank you, Lady Lee! This picture is far better than your avatar!

Thank you, Troubled mind. It's nice to know what you look like.

Billy and LouBelle, I've known what you looked like from the very beginning, and I like you.

Did You Feel Let Down By Jehovah & The "Brothers"?

by minimus in

jw
friends

did you find yourself disappointed in your life as a jehovah's witness?.

goldensky

Contrary to Truthseekerian, none of the individual brothers or sisters ever disappointed me, but Jehovah did. He'd been the most important person in my life, the friend I thought would never fail, but when my faith began to weaken and I prayed for two solid years, many prayers a day, that He would restore my faith, while I remained as involved as ever in spiritual activities, He didn't answer my prayers. I couldn't understand why. I felt so let down...

As I see it now, maybe He doesn't exist, or He doesn't care or He's not so powerful or He's dead or... who knows? But He's still very, very dear to me...

It feels like the Ice Age and not Global Warming

idk?.

I just spoke with my sister on the phone and she told me the meeting was interrupted to send everybody home before the snow intercepted their cars on the way home (that's historical. Never heard something like that has happened before). It's snowing all over Spain and many roads are getting collapsed. That's all the TV news seem to be talking about at the moment. My brother has just ridden his "quad" (I hope it's the same word in English) all the way along the highway (it's forbidden, but the police don't seem to mind today) from downtown Madrid to where we live (about 18 km. away) to "rescue" his girlfriend who was lost, stuck and nervous in some road while other cars kept skidding off and getting stuck. He's made it. We are definitely not used to that in this country.

Oh, dear! How very, very touching! I can hardly see which keys I'm presssing on my computer, my eyes are so full of tears... Thank you very much, AllTimeJeff. You are a wonderful person.

Paul from Cleveland, I've been wanting to tell you you are very dear to me. I wish you were my son. Look after yourself (Sorry to have changed your subject for a second, AllTimeJeff. I needed to tell him. I know you don't mind).

i wonder if everyone here who has kept up with me since i left jw's realize why i have been coming on here.

it certainly has been cool to know that some of my experiences and opinions have helped some.

i hope they know that i have been equally helped by others.. i come here primarily for me.

goldensky

Your thoughts are beautiful, AllTimeJeff. You are a very endearing person.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

Thank you very much for the pics, Coffee_Black, Kurtbethel and Elder-schmelder. I certainly appreciate it.

Your pic had already been removed, Leolaia. Too bad!

Mickey Mouse, your link search doesn't show any results. Oh, well! Thanks for trying.

Flipper, I clicked all the possibilities under Private Members and couldn't find what you so kindly made available for me. Sorry for being so clumsy. Maybe another time.

Thanks to everybody. Hugs from Olga.

the three magi and their modern antitype: who resembles the three magi today, and how do they also look for oxen, donkeys and sheep?.

how alcohol helped me to face hard times: part 2 of jeshua ben joseph's story.

Dear Processor, you crack me up! How can you be so funny? It sounds SO MUCH like the writing style and reasonings of the Society! And how can you speak such great, perfect English being German? I'm baffled by you.

If any of you knows what buttons I have to press to send you a couple of pictures from my computer, please do. You've all been so kind showing yourselves that I'd really like to reciprocate.

Mickey Mouse, I received your PM without problems, but I don't know how to enter your link. Where do I have to stop highlighting it before clicking?
