  Things we missed out on :(

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone else get really mad sometimes about the fact that we missed out on proms, dances, sports games, being in sports, being in band, being in clubs, or going to college, or even getting good grades since armageddon was always "right around the corner"?

  even if i went to college this year (at age 28), i'd be 10 years behind everyone my age!

  i'm still going to go back but i feel so upset sometimes how far behind my peers i am in just about everything, including in the working world, where i am an entry-level employee with only a high school diploma (thankfully i didn't quit school to pioneer!!

  kingdom melodies (MALADIES!!) from brown songbook that sound like church hymns

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was looking up christmas music and remembered that last year when we went to a christmas mass (i am not catholic btw) that some of the hymns sounded eerily like jw songs.

  probably their songs that jws stole the tunes of.

  does anyone have any songs, esp.

  last night at church in doctrine class we were learning about eschatology among christians and there are three main views about the end-times/christ's millennial reign.

  i wondered if jws are somewhat amillennial?

  from wikipedia about amillennialism:.

  If Jehovah's Witnesses Were Right...

  2. beliefs

  if they (or the governing body) were right: (fill in the blank).

  - the bible (even their own) would have lies in it, which would mean the whole bible would be a lie.

  - jesus' blood wouldn't really save anyone (so what would be the point of him dying for us).

  They don't think you can truly be happy "outside"

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was on the phone with my mom last night (she's an uber-dub with a don't ask, don't tell type policy where we basically just don't discuss the fact that i celebrate holidays and go to church regularly etc.

  ) and she said she was talking to one of my old friends from the hall there.

  the friend asked my mom how i've been and my mom said she made a face and kind of went "ehhh..." and talked about my lack of meeting attendance (she doesn't know it's way more than that) and my friend shook her head and said, "aw, that's too bad, but i've been in ruts like that before" as though i'm just depressed and don't feel like going lately.

  It's official!

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  tonight i just got my certificate: i'm officially a member of my church and a baptist.

  (i think of myself as just a general christian, but i like the laid-backishness of the baptists.

  i definitely don't think one denomination is better than anyone else though, and my church is multi-cultural, so i'm not a hater of other races like some southern baptists).

  Any of you have a hard time finding a job since leaving?

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was raised as a dub and my mother never pushed me to have a job.

  even when i tried to have jobs she woudln't let me because to her pioneering was the only thing i should be doing with my life.

  i did graduate high school and attended a community college for a year but i haven't worked in nearly 7 years and with a gap that large i can't find work.

  Ridiculous article I found about anointed going to heaven/partaking of emblems

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm copy/pasting this from the cd rom (i only have the 2008 one and older ones), watchtower 2/15/03.

  i was browsing to refresh my memory what jws believe about who can partake of the memorial because the church i go to now has the lord's supper every sunday as part of their worship.

  a person who truly has this calling does not need to ask others if he has such a hope.

  Hypocrite much?

  2. experiences

  so my mom and i have an odd relationship.

  we live 2,000 or so miles apart and seem to have a better relationship now that we're so far apart.

  we call each other fairly often on the phone.. last month, i got a pretty sweet christmas-y pottery barn catalog with gorgeous ornaments in it.
