i know we are living in the "last days" of this system of things, but it is getting creepy around the house..
I like "MY PILLOW " bought it years ago for $109.00. Before BOGO free. What I don't get, he is now talking about his days as a CRACK HEAD.
What ! I don't think I would do that. Maybe that will turn her off, him being a former crack smoker.
Make sure you tell her right away. What will she think of that ???
my elementary school teacher, miss allen, gathered us in a circle just outside the classroom under overspreading limbs of a pecan tree.
as she spoke, we all listened intently - the expression on her face seemed to say, "this is very important.".
"sometimes life doesn't go so well and we feel afraid.
I loved your story Terry. Thank you so much for posting.
If you knew what I was going through right now you would know how helpful your little story is to me.
Love your humor Pete ! Your story is closer to my life LOL but I do try to laugh a lot ...
i am addressing here those who, like me, spent decades in the organisation that we called “the truth”.
perhaps like me you were brought up in it from an early age.
looking back now i wonder that i could have been so heartless as to believe that the mass slaughter of billions of people was “good news”.
In my case I just believed I was going to die with all the rest. I guess I believed we all deserved it or we
could not live up to Jehovah's standards I wonder why I didn't think Jehovah was mean or cruel ?
Now I can't wrap my head around a God that could be such a killer of 99% of all people living.
That would be SO mean and cruel ! Amazing when you come out of being brainwashed your thinking could turn 180 degrees. Yes, being raised with fear and guilt was awful but my mom made it a little better because.she was very loving and my dad was not a JW. ..
hello, i am in the beginning stages of a slow fade.
over the years i have become more and more dissatisfied with the beliefs, teachings, and organizational practices of the organization.
i no longer have faith in it.
You know how it says in the bible , pray for anything in JESUS name. Well I prayed always for other people,asking JEHOVAH for friends that need help. Maybe they were sick or needed a new car because they lived far away from the hall. maybe sister humble's husband just lost his job ect.
I NEVER PRAYED FOR ANYTHING FOR MYSELF, except maybe to try to use the fruitage of the spirit more. I guess I never thought I was worthy and didn't want to ask unless it was really really important. Kind of like saving your get out of jail free card. LOL
Than my husband of 30 years wanted to not be married anymore. No fault of mine. He just wanted to try something new. (woman) I never prayed so hard and so long for him to change his mind. Nope, no answer for me. There is no God. Or he hates me. From a young age I pretty much knew I would die in the big A. Going done the rabbit hole isn't so bad. I just want the truth no matter where it leads me. Yep I would take the red pill.
Yes I.m still a good and loving person ! Personally I believe there is no God. I don't have to live with fear and guilt anymore. Free, I'm free at last . Free to learn, free to read, free to talk . I't GREAT! Oh and I'm free to say good luck Huxsley I hope you find what you'er looking for. Read" the History of God :by Karen Armstrong.There is a good video on you tube called the history of God 2.5 atheism a history of god (A) It is 15 minutes based on Karen Armstrong's book. I think the guy that does the video may have been a JW. He has a great voice. Must have learned it in the Kingdom Hall if he was lol.
they hanged mary!
(the townsfolk did)i'll tell you about it - but .... the facts will turn readers against her.
i mean, after all, she did kill a man.sympathy instantly dries up; making her agonizing death--as awful as it was--much less empathetic.
I've read bout this kind of think before. It wasn't Mary but maybe a horse. I don't think it was a rare thing back in the past. Very interesting read , as usual Terry.
Talking about elephants has anyone read " Water for Elephants " ? Great book ! Crappy movie.
from the peacefull netherlands i have a question about the current situation in the us.. is a civil war possible?.
g..
I am sorry to say this because and am far from being raised a racist but watching live coverage of the Target looting, I was sad to see 95% or more of the looters were black.
Now I don't know if it was because this was a black neighborhood but I do know this. All these cities are run by Democrats . Detroit schools are a mess. Everything is stole , replaced an stole again. Inkster has NO schools.
Get a Paddy wagon , arrest these people. Come back and fill it up again and again Why are they letting them run WILD ?? Their grandma's would be rolling in their graves, what a disgrace !
archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.
there are still many people who think and act like him.
of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.
When my husband and I moved to Olive Branch MS. We bought a beautiful 4,800 square foot house . I wake up the first morning, looked out the window and said "honey we just moved into a black neighborhood " Yep the first five houses across the street were all black people and great neighbors.
It was just sort of funny. Of course I find humor in everything.. My personal opinion is Obama did NOTHING to help race relations..
i think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!
.
what say you??
I have been wearing my mask and keeping six feet away from anyone. All the rest too but like my sister says "I refuse to live in fear anymore. Spent to much time doing that being raised a JW"
Starting tomorrow you must wear a mask to in go into any store . They will not let you in. Good news is we can now buy seeds. Only in MI would they think buying seeds was a problem . I do agree about the masks. Tomorrow I'm getting a special one built by a friend . This mask works really well . I may look like Darth Vaders's girlfriend. LOL
i think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!
.
what say you??
Some places yes, some places no. Some business yes, some no. WE must open up, we have no choice do we ?I'm over 60 and Sea Breeze wants me to stay home for a couple years LOL Wait until you are 60, I want you to remember that.
I still go to the Hakkason club in Vegas " PUT YOUR HANDS UP "
RubaDub that was too funny...if you like dark humor .. I do lol
Sherry still young at heart.
hey you all, i'm honestly pretty depressed on my own out there.
it's quite terrifying being on your own out there in a lone wolf kinda way.
i'm not sure how much my brain can tolerate this mest up feeling of social abandonment caused by the borg and family.
This week has been really bad for me too. I even told my sister "I can now understand why people kill themselves" I am a survivor and so are you. I feel like my whole life has been a lie. I will go on because I KNOW there will be better days.
There will be better days ahead for you too. I promise !
