It looks like I will become an elder this week!
by outofthebox inthat's right guys.
as i told you before, they boe have been considering me for the eldership.
which i don't care for, but since my family is stuck in this cult, i guess i can use the new position to help them see that the holy spirit has nothing to do with me being an elder.

JW divorce rate higher than adverage - pew forum
by drew sagan inone statistic that i haven't seen talked about that was contained in the pew forum research poll was divorce rate.
i was kind of shocked to see that when it comes to the percentage of members who are divorce jw's pulled an extra 2% over the national average.
in this research poll only three groups come in higher than jws and two of them go under the categories of other christians & other faiths.

My nightmare about the future
by Layla33 ini had a nightmare last night that was pretty vivid and i just wanted to record it, in case it might actually happen.
i am not saying it will, but i have had dreams in the past that have actually happened, which kind of scared me, and i have tested my "abilities" and i am mildly clairvoyant.
actually, as i have meditated more, i have been able to clearly tap into my senses.

Who did you/do you want to be when you grew up?
by Crumpet inwhen i was 9 i wanted to be daisy duke from the dukes of hazzard, but had to put aside the dream when i realised my legs weren't going to ever get any longer.. when i was 12 i wanted to be ghandi, but realised wars wouldnt stop because i missed breakfast.. when i was 16 i decided that by leaving the borg and living fast and hard enough being alice cooper was achievable.. now i'm 32 i think i'd quite like to have the sensuous, striking confidence and certainty of helen mirren when i grow up.. who did you want to be and why?.

i have been reinstated for just over 5 yrs and still have not had my privileges back.
i am a single mom and have been to all the meeting that we can, doing our best outside of kids colds and flu's, not to mention car trouble, but i have always turned in my time each month and study reports, but still i can not answer.
