i just happened to glance a the date as i was posting 2-13-02. one day before valentines day.

i realized that i don't have a valentine.

i subscribe to the idea that it is better to be alone and wish you were with someone than be with someone and wish you were alone.

Well, I thought I would be alone but my sweetie called me tonight at work just so he could be the first to say happy valentines day. Even if it was a day early. Ha ha ha, he doesn't know me to well. I am going to call him first thing in the morning and say it on the right day lol Oh, he said he bought me something too, but said I have to use it at his house. Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder what that could be.

An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of
Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out
of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to
the bar and orders three more. The bartender tells him, "You
know a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if
you bought one at a time."

The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One
is in America, the other is in Australia, and I'm in Dublin.
When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to
remember the days we drank together. So I drink one for each
o'me brothers and one for me self."

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it
there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always
drinks the same way. He orders three pints and drinks from each
in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the
other regulars take notice and fall silent.

When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the
bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I
want to offer my condolences on your loss."

The Irishman looks puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in
his eye and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine." He
explains, "It's just that me wife had us join that Baptist
Church and I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected me brothers
though!"

I don't believe it!

i got reading that jw board, the one quoted in the post about fred hall.

first of all i was gaging some of it was just stupid.. then i read some other stuff and thought - god how could i have been taken in?.

i keep coming back to this over and over, i can't understand how normal thinking human beings as i was can be taken in by these lies and fantasies.

WildHorses

Ballistic, I was thinking along the lines of this myself just last night.

My story and conclusion: When I first started my study with the JW it was because of a prayer. I have been involved with many a different religion, and I knew they all couldn't be right, so I sat a prayed one day and asked that God send the right one to me. Looking back on this I understand why he sent them. He was trying to tell me that there is no TRUE religion. They are all false, but God knows I am hard headed at times and I have to see things for myself.

The final straw came while I was reading my Bible one day and came across 1st John 2:27. It opened my eyes to religion in general.

Lets start with verse 24: Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.
26These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will[5] abide in Him.

So see, it really is a personal thing between God and Man, and God will never mislead us. Man will, for his own desire.
