  do you share paul's point of view?

  NoIdea,

  I get your point. I think though that being part of the WTS has made many of us unhappy within ourselves. Never being able to measure up to "theocratic" standards and the nagging doubts that eventually made all of us leave, promoted those feelings. It wasn't until I met Sheila and made it my "mission in life" to see to it that each and every day was as wonderful as I could make it, that I truly began to feel good about myself. I found fulfillment in her acceptance of me as I was. What I did was enough and appreciated and most importantly, she never changed the rules on me.

  We were created to pair up and live as families, with the desire to have someone special by our side. I wish for everyone to know the kind of happiness I know and enjoy.

  We helped a boy in a car crash last night...made us think about things

  last night we were coming home from a night of dancing,and came upon a really bad wreck, a young man, had flipped his jeep, several times and his car was on fire.

  we must have just missed the wreck, because there were two cars there that saw it and they didnt know what to do......i told my hubby as we stopped to see if anyone had called 911 yet, and asked him to ask if anyone needed first aid.

  i am not in the medical field but i know enough first aid to help until the emt arrived.

  Way to go Lyin,

  Amnymore people are too afraid to get involved. Feels good to play good Samaratin doesn't it. I'm proud to say that I know you, if only by your avatar and posts. Truly caring people are few and far between. Bravo to both of you.

  I know exactly what you mean about the "if only" arguments of the jdubs. I busted my heel once playing softball and one of the elders told me tht if I had been out in field service instead of associating with worldly people I wouldn't have gotten hurt. What a bunch of creeps.

  NoIdea,

  Happiness in marriage comes from living to see your partner smile doing everything in your power to make them happy. When each takes the others well being to heart it makes for the most rewarding and fulfilling of situations. If single people are happier being single why do they seek out the company of others and venture into less than commited relationships? I think people settle for less than they want or need, and this leads to less than happy marriages.

  Just my opinion, not trying to slam anyone. I suppose I am lucky to have found someone who feels for me the way I feel for them. For us it works.

  there are five houses in five different colours.

  in each house lives a person with a different nationality.

  the five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet.

  Lady Lee,

  We do seem to compliment each other don't we. I guess that is what happens when you're in love.

  SOJ explain how your conscience allows you to post on Apostate site?

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am really curious as to how you will answer this soj,,,,,,,and any other active jw's who post here, even read here,,,,,,,,,because when i was an active witness,,,,,,,,i was taught that reading any apostate material was wrong.

  i didnt even watch a tv show that talked bad about the jw"s for fear it was an apostate program.. i know if you are caught soj, posting here,,,,,,you would not have been reinstated( you were right?

  ), so did you tell the elders you post here?

  I don't see that anyone that can remain a "dub" has a conscience.

  Sword Of Just A Hoax,

  Think before you post. If you want to argue doctrine and scripture that's fine express your opinions. When it comes to a families pain at the hands of others and you feel you must side with the "evil doers" state your case and then put a sock in it.

  Nina and Tex have every right to be comforted and supported by their friends. That would be the rest of us. If you haven't been able to percieve the evil that has infiltrated YOUR religion than I might suggest you see an eye doctor.

  Do you have a right to post anything you want? Sure. Does it help? Sometimes. Does it hurt? If so, keep it to yourself. Or do you get off making light of the pain of others?

  I don't have a lot of friends. I consider Nina and Tex to be two of them though. I wonder could the Sword of Just A Hoax stand up to the Sword Of Braelor??? Doubt it.

  SheilaM has several books in the works. She just has so many other hobbies that she spends little time working on them. She is currently working on a romance novel and a story about a woman in Nazi Germany. What she has done so far is great, she just needs to schedule time to write more often.
