has anyone gotten involved in martial arts since they left the organization?
if so which ones and how advanced are you?
when i finish my third year of college this spring i'm going to start taking some classes, right now i just don't have the time with work and everything.
After I did the falling away thing years ago I eventually started training and it was one of the best things I ever did for myself personally. I chose to continue training instead of meetings. I was told in a JC meeting that I had to give it up. NOT
The elements that I learned are taken from many different disciplines.
AIKIDO
JUDO
KICK BOXING
SHOTOKAN
TANG SOO DO
WESTERN BOXING
I'm a Red Belt.
I was going to see it, I love Nick Cage But the people leaving the theatre looked so dissapointed I didn't go in. LOL!
i have a mix of friends from democrat to republican.
i am a registered independent myself.
i have heard it said, and watched in the news the obvious moves by the democrats, to put this woman in place to run for the office of president.
lol! Heathen Ur such a chauvinist. They would hire OTHER women to debate about nail polish for them.
which biblical names do you like, and maybe you'd name your child that way?.
i like this one: bathsheba.
oh, here are a few to choose from .

:I've seen her hubby on TV about 3 times this past week. And I don't even watch TV that much! I haven't seen any of Hillary.
Public Relations. IF she were to run for office Bill would be supportive of her and they would look like a team. She would use him to get herself into the White House the same as she did the first time. His popularity far outweighs hers and that would be utilized. I don't think she could do it without his support.
A debate between Rice and Hillary about anything would be interesting.
i'm talking about the new posters, like kitten whiskers, who started posting today (hope this works: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/120817/1.ashx).
and it seems like we're getting a few like this nearly every day.
people who were raised jws, really worry that they are doing the right thing in leaving, yet who have been made to feel not good enough by the wts, who felt they never measured up, who struggled with it, but came to realize that what they'd been brought up to believe was just not the truth.. the same stories are told over and over again, and they come from sincere, good people - not whiny, fault-finding apostates like the rest of us riffraff around here!
As far as I knew they never changed their policy but updated it with new tech. They still do not condone "whole blood" transfusions and since they didn't have only "parts" of it to chose from back then why would they take responsibility for it now? They will justify themselves.
i just read this as part of one of jgnat's posts its obviously nothing against her take a look and comment.i mean who are they trying to fool.
out of all creation they are "groaning" the most .
our identification as jehovah's witnesses .
Think the day will come when the society wants all baptized publishers to have an identifying mark on their foreheads?
is god just a ball of energy hanging around?.
is god a spirit person as the jw's suggest?.
ok, so i realize that there are a large number of atheists here, of which group i am ever so slowly counting myself among, who would love to shout down the topic with 'there is no god".
Our conscience, the thing that separates us from animals, where does it come from?
when i was in the witnesses, and near the end of my time in.
there was the whole new understanding, of putting non-anointed people in positions in the organization that were normally something an anointed person would be in.
i remember them mentioning that the amount of anointed was dwindling and there needed to be people in these positions of responsibility, to make sure the work continues.. after this was highlighted and all good witnesses swallowed this thinking hook line and sinker.
blondie:Anointed to be king of Israel but not anointed in the WTS sense
But wasn't he chosen by God to be king of Israel? Why would he be left out of group chosen to go to heaven? Because he was party animal?

Was King David anointed or not?
