Adopting Resolutions
by Sunspot inbetween 1970-1999, i remember different "resolutions" being read and adopted (by applause) at the distict conventions.. i can't remember any of them or even what they were about, or anything about them.. does anyone know anything about these resolutions, or if the wts still reads these at the conventions any more?.
if anyone has these, could they post them please?.
hugs,.

Another Year Gone By.....
by Sunspot inafter 30 long, sad, disappointing and frustrating years in the wts, i wrote my letter of disassociation on october 11,1999. i had been reading the posts on the old h2o forum for a year, and had discovered, to my horror, how cleverly and how badly i had been duped and deceived by this organization.
it took a year of research and indecision to come to the conclusion that i would be far better off without the delusional leaders telling how to take every step in my life.. i had a few awful months of feeling very lost and quite alone, but with time, more research and common sense prevailing, i began to breathe again.
thankfully, i never lost my faith in jesus, and that faith grew, blossomed and flourished as i began to know who he really was.

NO SIGNS OF CANCER!
by Sunspot ini had the last in a series of tests and scans today and the verdict is that there are no signs of recurring cancer showing up!
needless to say, the day was very long (as has been this entire week) and i am still quite tired out.....but i am so relieved and so grateful that the healing hand of my precious savior has touched me once again.
he has blessed me.. thank you all for your loving prayers and your good wishes that have been so encouraging to me along the way.

Slumdog Millionaire
by Sunspot inthis movie was apparently loved by a lot of regular movie-goers and critics alike.
kelly ripa raved about it on the "live" show, and said it seeing it was a life-altering (or maybe she said life-changing) experience.
either way..... i saw it ....and it left me cold!

How Life Can Change
by Sunspot ini don't come by here very often any more (trying to wean myself away from this board in anticipation of when we cannot ever post any more.
in the last couple of years, and leaving this mess in jesus' hands, things have not only begun to emerge as "fixable", but have most definetely been fixed at long last.
i was invited to the youngest grandchild's (of this son) sweet 16 birthday party last summer and i teared up when i realized that this was the first birthday party of all three of these grandchildren that i had attended.. we have been invited to thanksgiving dinner ( for the fourth year) with our whole family and that of my dil's family (she is one of seven) and to spend a few days at christmas at another son's home.

Sherri Shepard EXJW On "The View"
by Sunspot ini am watching this program....and sherri shepard just said she was raised as a jw and how strict their beliefs were.
she was asked what jws believe---and she answered that they teach that when jesus comes back to destroy the earth, that only jws will be allowed to live on the new earth that will be made.. she also said how she hated going out on saturday mornings to knock on doors, and that it was tough when her father got disassociated (she had to stop and explain what that meant) and that she could no longer talk to him.. a lot of women (who are at home :o) watch this show.....and i am applauding her saying this so all who are watching this will hear these two points and remeber them the next time jws call at their houses!.
facts that only jws will be saved when jesus comes back---and jws told not to speak to those who leave or are kicked out of the religion.....two great points to be aired like this on national tv!.
