i have watched the intentional effort by pathofthorns to defend wt policy and create misinformation regarding the silentlambs effort.
are you being paid by wt for your lies?
why do you create boundaries for silentlambs and question them when you know as well as i that we do not stand or take that position?.
Pathofhorns...interesting name
Revelation 17:12 "And the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings,who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority kings one hour with the wild beast. These have one thought, and so the give their power and authority to the wild beast. These will battle with the Lamb, but because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also those called and chosen and faithful with Him will do so."
wow... i feel guilty about even being here, let alone posting my story.
but here goes.... it was back in the late 60's that my dad (actually stepdad who adopted me and my older sister when he married our mother) got witnessed to by a guy that he worked with.
he was invited to our house for dinner along with his wife and that was the beginning of my new life.
((((staceman)))) Please believe me when I say that your experiences with the JW's is just the beginning of your journey. You love God! Keep seeking Him. What father, if his son asked for a fish would give him a stone? Doesn't your Father in Heaven care so much more for you? He has led you AWAY from the JW's because you love Him. Trust that. You know how you feel about Him and He does too. Don't ever doubt that.
Do you think that the Source of Love would lead you away from Him, when you love Him so much? He wouldn't. He is leading you to the Truth. Read your Bible, apart from the Watchtower, and your eyes will be opened to the Truth. The real Truth. He loves you, and He knows the debth of your love for Him. Faith is what it's about, brother. Trust that.
"i believed myself for a long time that there was something.
true in all the display of peace and happiness which i saw.
reflected in the faces of a good number of nuns.
Honey, One thing I learned along time ago, even before I became involved with any religion, is that you should never let them know what hand you're holding.
While I agree that the deception that is displayed by those who would suck you into their demented way of thinking is wrong, I believe that most people, whether Catholic, or JW, or whatever, never really reveal the real deal about who they are until they know you for awhile.
Sometimes even the people that you are closest to have a hidden face that they've never shown.
Honey, it's not just the Witlesses that do that. It's all of us.
first let me say this.. i have constantly been hearing of the legendary honesty/intergity of the jehovah's witness for some time now.
i have also been informed that they are the happiest people on the entire earth.. my problem is this:.
when a jehovah's witness comes to your door and you actually decide to give them a few moments of your time they never give the whole story as to what you would be getting involved with when you join the watchtower.. case in point.
I don't know that I ever outright lied to anyone when I was a Witness, but I know that I evaded issues. If I remember correctly, (it was a long time ago) I was holding onto the hope that everything that I didn't have an explanation for would come to light one day. I didn't really feel that I was being deceptive, I just felt like it wasn't clearly understood. When I did get to the point that I didn't believe what they believed, I left.
i have a sign in my front yard on a main highway.
it reads, "no child molesters, www.silentlambs.org".. last night evidently, someone took the sign.
now i live one mile from the kingdom hall, do you think it could have been jw's?
Hey Lisa, I would do that. Where do I get them?
it seems there's a buzz about everybody being bi-polar or on anti-depressants.
it seems a lot of people i know are taking anti-depressents.
the doc said i'm *bi-polar 1* or something like that.
My sister thinks that she is bipolar. She hasn't ever been to a psychiatrist(sp?) but she seems to have the signs of it...high highs and low lows. Anyway, she is also very talented writer. Right now she is involved with a workshop and writing a play.
When we were growing up, she used to shut herself into her room writing. I absolutely adored her, and sometimes she would be so nice to me (the youngest girl), but other times she would be so negative and mean to me. It seems to me that her disorder has prevented her from reaching her full potential. Maybe if she had ever been diagnosed and prescibed the right medication, she would have fulfilled her desire to be a writer. I hope that she still can, but she's expressed to me that her 'down times' get in the way.

Bill, (Love you man) Just some advice. Before you go off and assume that it was the JW's, take it from me, kids will do that sort of thing. When I was a teenager, my friends and I would go around our small community and steal the lights from the outside Christmas decorations that people had in their yards. We would then smash them into the street. Why? Because we were ignorant and thought it was exciting and fun. I doubt if the JW's stole your sign. It was more likely some "fun" seeking kids in your neighborhood.
Love,
Lea
i`m sitting here in front of the computer with a nice cold bottle of molson canadian beer.i don`t drink canned beer unless i`m camping deep in the forest.its easyer to pack,and cans dont explode(bottles will)if your going up a rough mountain road.i prefer my beer stored in a bottle,i think the taste is a lot crisper.so how do you prefer your favorite beer?bottles,cans or on tap served in a frosty mug..
I was at another aniversary party tonight and I've had...ahem...like several to too many bottles of beer and and a...{cough}...few shots of brandy...and let me tell you, without a doubt, bottles are the way to go...whoooo haaaaaa...(as I pour a glass from the 40 that I got for the home tip)...LOL
yes it's true!
i'm obsessed with looking at myself.. i'm trying to lose this 40 pounds and it's killin me!
actually, i just started running this weekend.. my foot's a little better but still very sore any time i have weight on it.
Ahhh...to be young and actually worry about that stuff...glad I'm an old heiffer that is happy as long as I can maintain my currently overweight weight.
I was able to loose the 'baby fat' after all three of my boys were born, but after having my daughter at the age of 38, already heading in that direction when I got pregnant, I just said...well, I guess I can't say it without offending some.
After one of my male friends jokingly told me that I'd put on some pounds (some joke) and asked why I wasn't dieting I replied, "Why bother, I'm already married."
Anyhoo, good luck Lisa. Keeping with a regular exersize regime will definitely help you loose it quicker.
my mother has been sick for a couple of months and undergoing a battery of tests, she is a jw.
we live 3000 miles apart.
well she just called and informed me that she had just received some bad news from her doctor this afternoon.
(((ConnieLynn))) I'm so sorry this is happening. I wish I knew what you could do to make this all work out for the best.
I don't think that I could stay away if it was my mother, but I've never had to deal with mine making the sort of extreme choices that yours is. I agree that her mental state probably isn't the best right now, so perhaps she would have a change of heart once she realizes just how much you do care about her.
I don't know.
Those bastards have harmed and continue to harm so many people and their families it makes me physically sick. I hope you find the strength to deal with this horrible situation.
Lea
