  2. friends

  i have been scouring through the older posts looking for info on that gal that had inoperable cancer and the last i saw....she had gone to florida and the space center, etc complete with pictures we saw posted on here.

  i have forgotten her screen name and cannot seem to find anything on her, how she is doing---if she died---or what.. does anyone know who i am thinking about and what can you share on what has happened to her?.

  (sorry, this is what i get for not keeping up with things here.).

  What Craft Or Hobby Keeps YOU busy?

  by Sunspot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as long as i can recall, i have always had at least three craft or needlework "projects" going at one time!

  i have had a few "unproductive years" due to two strokes that affected my right side and the use of my fingers.

  i tried a few things and then put them down in desperation.. recently i picked up a crochet hook again determined to figure out a way to get things working again.....and it is slow and very awkward but i can still crochet!.

  Sherri Shepard EXJW On "The View"

  by Sunspot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i 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!.

  On Armageddon....

  by Sunspot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since leaving the wts i have come to appreciate that our lives need not be lived while centered around the "coming destruction" or that all our goals should be focused on this thinking 24/7.

  when standing back and getting away from the stringent and narrow-minded views of the men of the wts.....and see what jesus actually said on this topic....we are in for a surprise.. when you read the bibles that show his words in red.....and take the time to go through and only read those....it is apparent that his focus was not directed on this "fearful coming destruction", but primarily on showing that he is the truth and the life, and that his followers are to be compassionate, kind and helpful in whatever ways they can.

  we have only to look at the "two laws" and the "golden rule" he preached, to get an idea of what he lived and what he died to accomplish.

  Recipe Question

  by Sunspot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i had any pride i would not even ask this question or show how stupid i am.....but here goes:.

  i saw either on the martha stewart show or another i watched last week---where they took cookie dough and pushed it into and around a pie plate as a crust and baked it before putting the filling in.

  i bought some pillsbury cookie dough, did what i had seen them do....and popped it into the oven for the amount of time it took for it to get browned.. the problem was----that the "giant cookie" rose up to look like an already full baked pie....and the center stayed moist and chewy---not like a "crust" at all.

  on another thread, finally-free had made this comment:.

  you reminded me of the friendships i had before i was a jw.

  we could say just about anything to each other without worrying that someone would use it against us at some later date.
