I wonder why people don't marry from within the congregation? Maybe because this guy is a "catch" in Jwland:

they do not do a good job of exploring why different people stop going to the meetings and make any improvements.. this is a quote from another topic.
it reminds me of the may 15 2012 study article about marry only in the lord, p 4 para7.
they are not trying to improve their product (the people).

Let's just talk about God's justice (making the gross assumption that he does exist, and that supposedly he cares about individuals).
Case in point, the righteous man Lot. He offered his daughters to the horny crowd to protect the angels, who should have been able to protect their own cornholes. Did God approve of this? He must not have gave two shits about Lot's daughters!
Then God gets pissed at Lot's wife for just looking back at the city being destroyed? And in his compassion, he turns her to a pillar of salt? What a great guy God is!
Now since Lot was such a wonderful guy, it was okay for him to get drunk and knock up both his daughters? The old fart probably couldn't get it up twice on the same night! And what are the odd's of the old geezer hitting paydirt with both of them on that night? I think he was just gettin' some from the daughters because the old battleax was a salt pillar now, because she was sooooo terrible. And we are not even guessing how old the daughters were. Maybe a little pedophilia mixed in.
So Lot is righteous, and his wife was evil. In my opinion, both God and Lot are douches.

this is the question that came up in my mind.
now dont get me wrong i know the dates from 607 - 1914 are rubbish, but how would you explain to a witness when they will automatically say, look at the momentus year 1914 was.
that is evidence enough that 607 is correct!.
1914 is a "momentous year", both by luck and reverse engineering by the Watchtower. As was previously noted, they were expecting the Big A on that date. Then the usual "well, it was invisible." But the World War started, so we were right.
People still buy into that shit.

there are songs that we all think about and remember a certain time/moment.
right now the song runaway train is my song - this is how i've been feeling over the last year.... call you up in the middle of the night.
like a firefly without a light.
LouBelle,
Your song fits my life right now too. So does this one, and it keeps the railroad theme:
"Crazy Train"
[Daisley - Osbourne - Rhoads]
All aboard! Hahaha
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe. it's not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers,
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Heirs of a cold war,
that's what we've become
Inheriting troubles,
I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
Tammy,
Your explanation just makes me think that God is even more of a douche than I thought he was. Thanks for clarifying it for me.

I am not Hitler. I am offended by tec's assertion that it is my fault god isn't helping me because I am an asshole, or mete out injustice to others.
She can smeg off too.

i stay at my grandmother's house and pay a little rent to her (r500) as it is all i can afford.
i do however buy and take care of all my own food, washing etc.. this morning at 6 am, my bedroom door opend, slammed shut, heard the key turn a couple of times, open and slam shut again.
i woke up with a fright as that has never happened....first thought is someone is in the house.
Until you find a better solution, wedge a chair back under the doorknob to keep him out. It works on the same principle as Iamallcool's device.

LouBelle,
Finally someone gets the nature of my post! I have seen no evidence of a loving god in my life.
The good things in my life are of random chance. So are the bad. If there was any karma I had built up from good deeds in the past, I see no evidence. The only benefits were to build up a base of human friends, not celestial gods that give not one shit about me.
If there is a god and he wants wants to give me a break, I would take it. I am not holding my breath. Until then, he can just smeg off.

i have not been able to post for a while due to my health issues.
i am in need of prayers because i am still having problems with diarrhea and very bad stomach cramps every single day that will not go away and my gastro doctor has taken me through stool tests and x-ray tests and cannot find out what is causing the diarrhea at all and i have been crying because the diarrhea is very bothersome.
i also need some prayers because i really need to know someone that has gone through the rny gastric bypass surgery and has had their gall bladder removed because i have a lot of questions.
I had my gall bladder out, and I felt an immediate relif from my flu-like symptoms.
