Welcome to the Masquerade Hall
by msconcerned init has been an interesting ride these last few months, and sometimes i have failed to put into words my feelings as of late.
but tonight i have something that will help explain the feeling i get whenever i walk in to the masquerade(kingdom) hall.
masquerade balls were sometimes set as a game among the guests.

Cause and effect...
by msconcerned inits been going on for years but tonight it really hit home.
i have to drink after my meeting, its the only thing that calms my nerves.
the things said tonight made me distort my face so much the brother saw me during the highlights and obviously wantedto say something to me from the stage.

Things are about to get interesting....
by msconcerned inup until now people have just looked at me in a wierd way after i have shown them some bible verses and asked "what does that mean".
i have just resigned as an ms, so i expect things to be a little bumpy from here.
i have such mixed emotions right now, many years in the truth and now the doubts im having are messing up my head.

"Worldly" what does it mean?
by msconcerned ini have recently been using the expression "people not of our faith" and it shocks me to be corrected everytime by, "you mean worldly".
i dont really like the word worldly because i feel it is a degrading word to describe people we love so much that we try to find them in the ministry.
below are a couple of quotes from recent watchtowers that really give us the esscence of the word worldly as far as the watchtower is concerned.. janusz, who lives in eastern europe, became engrossed in his gardening business.

Ha Ha Ha, Wow i have not laughed so hard in a long time.
by msconcerned inso i posted a joke online, one that would make my jw freinds think a bit, the way it was written i thought for sure there would be no way it could be taken any other way than intended.
i also thought it was just past the line but wanted to see where it would go..

Feeling very sick!
by msconcerned inwell as you all may or not know i am an m.s and trying to figure all these feeling out.
but i have a dilemma, i will be going on a shepherding call with an elder to "help" a family who is discouraged with the people in the hall.
i have to admit i feel the same way they do so how can i "encourage" them when i feel the same?

Wow did not see that coming.
by msconcerned inso for a while now i have had some doubts and i have slowly started and had conversations with my wife.
she has kind of conceded very minor points in our conversations, but what i have been seeing is that she is starting to use her brain.
im not insulting my wife, but she is starting to think critically.

The beroeans....listening to antichrists?
by msconcerned inw06 12/1 pp.
4-7 - testtheinspiredexpressionsconsider the good example of certain noble-minded people who lived in the city of beroea in the first century.
they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the scriptures daily as to whether these things [spoken by paul and silas] were so.
