now that dad has recovered his equilibrium, i just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone who expressed concern about my daughter the last couple of weeks.
in the great scheme of things this is a minor matter but it sure affected me!
i guess my family has been pretty lucky compared to others.. anyway, julie (that's the daughter one, not the wifely one) recovered so fast that she returned to school this past monday.
Alan & His Julies,
Now this is the kind of GOOD NEWS that I like to hear. Yes, she is young and is recovering fine, but I'm afraid that as parents, recovery for you will be slow. I'm glad she's recoving so well.
Did you do this? When my son was in a car accident last year, all I could do was look at his pictures from birth to now. He was so fortunate (only bruises, sore ribs, minor things), but the trauma for me was intense. All I could think of was, what if...

since the sect's leadership had painted itself into a corner a change had to come about.
governing body members were required to be of the "anointed" class, composed of men who became witnesses as adults before the year 1935. this excludes younger men, and limits the governing body to an older group each year.
few men in their 80s or 90s are up to running a corporation.. during the mid-1990s the witnesses attempted to sidestep the problem by beginning to appoint a few younger men who had earlier declared themselves to be of the anointed.
Of course they are. Weren't we told that the 'old will become young again' and no more pain & no more crying. These guys are just showing us a small glimps of how things will be if you stay faithful and true. Now, as far as the pain & crying goes...well, I'm still waiting on the Dateline Prophecy.
Forgive me, but, I just couldn't resist teasing ya'll.

on the way to dropping my wife off at work this morning, we stopped at an intersection near a funeral home which is constructed very similarly to many kingdom halls.
the following conversation took place:.
me: "that funeral home always reminds me of a kingdom hall.".
Deep,
Just go back and reread. The comparison was about the construction of the buildings, unless I too dummied out. Get along you guys, it's not the end of the world.
However, the only way I would pass through a KH door is if it was sold and turned into a FUNERAL HOME! That's the end of this issue for me.

Mike,
Well, Mike I guess you are on your way to an exciting new career. Your article is excellent and informative. Very well done.
Maybe, you could send a copy of this fine article to the writing dept. of the WTBTS. They could use some 'new blood'. But then why waste such a wonderful God given talent?

5 years removed from being inside the indianapolis assembly hall of jehovah's witnesses, 4 years from attending a meeting at the kingdom hall, this morning my girlfriend and i walked into the assembly hall.
we were taking an early morning walk in our jogging clothes in downtown indy.
she asked if there was anywhere i'd like to go.
RAMBLE on my dear. Some might refer to your rambling on as remonissing(did I spell that right). There is nothing wrong with retracing your paths that you took through life. As a matter of fact, it takes courage to do this. Ask yourself this, DID YOU GAIN ANYTHING FROM THIS? You probably looked around and remembered how secure all this use to seem and yet thought how useless it really is now. You have grown my dear one and you will continue to grow. Good luck to you and remember all that you learned was not bad.

we all know that for the most part, many of the people on this board would be shunned in the presence of a active witness.
since this is a form of projecting negative energy, we should be aware of ways to counter these methods and protect ourselves from doubts and self destructive thoughts.
perhaps you have lived this moment.
Kenpro,
I'm with you 99.9% on this. It's true, you show them that you are the same loving person that you were when you were a JW and it really takes them back a bit. I saw a sister just the other day and I spoke to her, and she spoke back. I could tell it hurt her that she didn't say more to me. I left it up to her to make more converstion, I know she was embarrassed. She's a woman who had been through numerous negative situations in her life and we helped her through so many of them. The other JWs just talked behind her back and never helped. I still love her and hope that things are going better for her.

letter to editor from the portland newspaper.. .

witnesses hide molestation the catholic church has hidden sexual abuse by moving guilty priests to new communities.
Come on you guys and dolls. How many years did we wait for Armaggedon, with the hope of a paradise earth? How many hours did we put in service? How many meetings did we attend? How much money did you give? How many sacrifices did you make for the WTBTS? HOW? HOW? HOW, can you give up so easily on Dateline? Yes, I want it to air as much as anybody, but look at the time span and what has been going on since Dateline has been in the picture. The Catholic church as well as others are being underfire and this can only add more fuel to the the fire against the 'org.'. It'll happen, don't be too impatient and don't give up.
Now, when did they say it was gonna air again? Just kidding.
Love being in this place!

what is your favorite perfume?
how do you like to smell[lol], and how do you like your significant other to smell?
is scent a sexual stimulant for you?
My favorite is SPELLBOUND, MY HUSBAND ALWAYS BUYS THIS FOR ME ON OUR ANNIVERSARY. He'll get me other gifts, but Spellbound is a tradition.
Hoping for a many years of Spellbound in the future. I love Chaps & Stetson on him, and if not his 'scent' is mighty fine to me!

VI,
...not a witness yet, not a witness yet...That's a good sign. Do you ask your study conductor questions, concerning the info that you glean from the friends here and esp. the Bible or do you just take for granted what they tell you. I use to ask 'all' the questions, however, the closer the friendship got I stop questioning and just started accepting. Can't believe I became a mental sponge...I just absorbed everything they pored on me. I develpoed a strong sence of trust in them and stopped thinking for myself.
I can't believe I was so STUPID!

But, I sure do love the family that studied with me. They are the nicest, kindest people I know, but, I have realized that if they were Baptist, Catholic, etc. they would still be the same kind of people. Even though they don't talk to me or my family, I still LOVE them, cause that's just the way I am. There are others in the org. that I do not care for because they are not good people at all.
Vi, ask questions and be firm in seeing that they are answered correctly and DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, PLEASE.
Thinking of you,
SUSCARRA
