Oh, and I thought you were talking about Scotch. I'd say 2 bottles a day.

how do you have a relationship with God if he doesn't answer you.
by buffalosrfree ini sent this to a friend who told me he stlll attends meeting so that he can keep a close relationship iwith god> he admits to praying a lot and said as the dubs do that it draws him closer to god.
i asked him when you see someone in the park or the street or wherever with their head bowed, and mumbling, are they talking to god and drawing closer to him.
i also askew him to explain how praying to god draws him closer to god, because god doesn't talk back with you?

I didn't find that praying made me closer to god. Sometimes it had the opposite effect. Many times I prayed about something, and it wouldn't work out anyway. Often, if I did get the things I prayed for, it would work out to be a very bad thing in the long term. If there is a "god" out there, I'm not convinced he cares or even listens. It wasn't until I gave up on prayer and took responsibility for my own life that things began to work out.

things that make you go AGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!
by lurk inkingdom melodies did it for me everytime.. i tired so hard not to have uncharitable thoughts about the ppl who wrote the tunes and words to the kingdom melodies.
there were about 2 that i could stomach.. the rest were so totally uninspiring and mechanical.. .i can say that apart from maybe 2 i didnt get any up lifting joy from them.. elders complained that ppl wern't learning the tunes and singing properly.they got realy irritated over it .but i really really hate the dam songs .
eveyone sounded totally joyless

Nipple Question
by Stacy Smith ini see at least two males here (according to their avatars) have nipple piercings.
the only question that comes to mind is.....why?
is it something that you have done to impress women?

I don't have any piercings at all, and I'm not planning on getting any. I don't see what the attraction is. Just personal preference I guess.

My first posts were on another board and appear to be gone, so I can't compare them with my recent stuff.

I've got the day off work too, since I work for the government. I get to gloat over all the poor unfortunates that still have to go in. Hahaha!
Ok, everyone can hate me now.

Does anyone else still get Armaggeddon Nightmares!!
by Lainey ini haven't posted for a few weeks as i have been back at work busy beavering away, however as it is my day off i thought i would see if anyone else has the same trouble that i have, and also if there is anything they have found useful.. i have always had trouble eating properly and sleeping ever since my early teen years, but over the past couple of years or so (even though i know i don't believe the watchtower teachings anymore) i have at least 3 or 4 times a week, the most vivid awful nightmares about armaggeddon, and the different ways that jehovah is going to destroy me because of my wickedness.
i wake up in tears and shaking with fear, and then i am not able to get back to sleep, i just lie awake until the morning not daring to close my eyes.. i can't believe that as a grown woman, the watchtower teachings keep coming back to haunt me.. lainey.
ps can i also thank all the posters for the kind personal messages that i have received since i came here

I've never had an "Armageddon" nightmare, but I've had trouble with sleeping in the past. I'd recommend seeing a doctor to arrange for a sleep study. There are a number of sleep disorders that can be successfully treated. It worked for me.

what defines your life now?
by franklin J inas a jehovahs witness, our lives were clearly "defined".
for those of us who are no longer in the "truth", what "drives" your life now?.
for me, it is my kids ( 12, 9, 4--busy--busy--busy) ; my wife; my career; i live by my own personal value system ( tried, tested and working).. the absence of the superimposed restrictive grid of the jw lifestyle has allowed my life to blossom.

I have my own personal value system as well, and I developed that before I left the JWs. I just left the org recently, so the only thing that is defined about my life is my career. The rest is in a state of rebuilding.

Just curious, what have some of you done with your exspensive book bags?
by Singing Man ini use my book bag to store my computer soft ware in its perfect for that.
and as for all the old issues of magazines i used them to start my wood stove on those cold mornings.
one time i asked for a lot of older issues from the friends so i could use them to line the bottom of my camp tent, they were more than happy to give them to me.

Ozzie, I have 3 leather bags too, all in the closet, and every time I open the closet door I smell the leather. It gives me flashbacks! It's interesting what little things will trigger unpleasent memories.
I really should get rid of them.
