My Experience Today with My Brother
by Reborn2002 inwell, my brother and his wife came over to my parent's house to visit today while i was home.. to make a long story short, while my brother and his wife were chatting with my mother in the living room, my 1 and a half year old nephew reilly walked into the kitchen where i was making a caesar salad.. he walked over towards me and was smiling, how can any normal adult resist the innocent smile of a child who is your relative?
i picked him up and gave him a huge hug, and told him i loved him.. as i was holding my nephew in my arms, my brother walked into the room.
he was smack dab in the middle of an in-depth conversation about jehovah with my mother and his wife, and i admit i was rolling my eyes listening to him spew about the "truth" and "the only means for salvation in the last days of this wicked system" even though when i confronted him with info on the un, blood, russell gravesite, rape changes, exclusivity, etc, he had no response for me because he was dumbfounded and lost for words.

WooHoo - I got the job, time to leave the borg
by Leander inmy current job is due to be phased out within the next few weeks and i had been reluctant to make my announcement until i secured a new position.
i figured just in case my wife went beserk and left i would'nt want to be stuck looking for a job and carrying all the bills.. anyway i went on an interview yesterday within the company and this morning i got the call that if i wanted the job it was mine, so naturally i accepted without hesitation.
so now my next step is to get a second car within the next few days, that way i won't be stuck at the house when my wife is at the meetings or field service.

Being truly free
by Introspection insome of the messages on the board have prompted me to think about this a bit, seeing as how it appears to be a theme that resurfaces every so often.
actually, one of the reasons i'm posting a separate thread is that the other ones which brings this up is usually about something more specific and has gotten really long, and to be perfectly frank i don't have the time to read through it, but i think the issue is an important one.. we can be free from the wts physically, but a certain pattern of thinking sticks with us a bit longer as i'm sure many of us are well aware.
naturally, when you're out you're going to go out into the world and explore, doing this and that, the "normal" people stuff you might say.

one of my first decisions to carry out is to break free from the wts.

Thoughts....
by somebody ingood evening all, .
this is just some more "stuff" printed in the kingdom ministry by the jesus-led incorporated printing business, for all the publishers who work for them and contribute to making them worth multi-millions to read and follow before attending an assembly/convention.. 5/99/ km.
lately, building managers and food vendors in the facilities where our conventions are held have observed some brothers leaving the auditorium to purchase food from street vendors and fast-food establishments nearby.
