  1. That's another option! It's been 20?years ago since I visited Walkill Brooklyn.wnd for so reason I am remembering we were told that they rotate most individuals through each department except for specific ones (doctors, dentists lawyers etc for obvious reasons) and give them a chance to learn to area. I recall my husband saying they would not need to be more selective else the laundry come out pink. He was referring to 20 yr old me who had never done laundry , was never taught, so never sorted clothes . I through all his white shirts in with my red dress in order to do only one load. It proved to me that Jehovah would have taught me this step before letting me loose with others possessions. Just imagine the detail to learning we will receive..I may have to start at base and telearn all I think I know.
  2. It's so hard for my imagination to go too far. So intend to think of the future as similar to what we have now except PERFECT! I THINK of being trained on every job there is then rotating assignments every few hundred years. A barrista (surely we will still have lovely coffee shops to visit/relax/enjoy with friends. Two hundred years. Then go to learn and sew fashion. Two hundred years. Then go and study about horticultural --two hundred years. Captian a yacht --two hundred years. I want to do every job and experience it all.
  3. Since Jehovah knows me best I will be excited to learn where he uses me..I have been a nurse for 40 years and retired for three. I can't wait to learn a new course . I can come back to the study of our physical body but want to do something completely different.. even cosmetology excites me. Massage therapy. Cooking..painting study of color. Every aspect of study I want to encounter .
  4. @SofiaI understand your hurt feelings as I also felt the sting of his reply. But I did pause when I reread, several times in fact, why he questioned you for a reference link. The only thing different was I understood you wrote it in error as.i know your stance. A misunderstanding for sure. Yes his wording was indeed hurtful no matter how polite, but I am sure you know him to be a loyal , respected brother who oversees with caution even if it may have felt veiled harshness. I know you both to be strong pillars for Jehovah and in your hearts have already forgiven I love you all immensely.
  5. It's like a couple down to their last dime with no end in sight. One turns to the other and says 'Desperate times call for desperate actions. You may die if you rob that bank but I'm willing to take that risk.'
  6. Maybe they will use money from false religion and all it's properties as a reason to destroy
  7. Thank you! I will post how how reading and studying helped me come up with my theme for the dinner party. I'll have to post under another topic so as not to take up space here. I'm so excited to share it.
  8. I started studying our new publication Walk Courageously with God yesterday with two sisters. We spent 3.5 hrs talking to get to learn about each others past, as two of my sisters had never met. One from the cart I met and one from my congregation. The first chapter was on Enoch. Upon starting to discuss the chapter we realized we have already been walking Courageously and started to see ways we could improve. For the first time in 30;yrs I studied not to learn facts but simply through the eyes of bonding with my spiritual family. I am starting a dinner party this Saturday afternoon....oops I'm late for appt but will write more later.
  9. Over time, Jezebel stopped being treated as a name at all and became more like a warning term, similar to how Pharaoh or Herod function symbolically. Just googled this thought. Interesting

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    Was at the end of my rope in my 2nd marriage--honestly felt suicidal. Remembered my grandmother visiting years ago from CA and that she would talk to my Mom about the Truth. My Mom died at 53 but had mentioned to me that if there was a right religion JW had to be it. My Mom had died and JW's came to my door. I had a house full of company and invited them in. Later they would remark that they "knew" I was a sheep because I invited them in and visited with them and got them cold beverages to drink and made them feel so hospitable in the midst of all my turmoil. If anyone knows Phyllis Bittner, originally from Bartlesville, OK and now residing somewhere close to San Diego tell her I am in the Truth now.Thanks for our time together and planting that seed. Anyway, I read the Truth Book and quickly stopped my study due to my unhappiness with my first marriage. I was a nurse and took care of my present husband who was in for ETOH tx. Began a relationship with him, divorced, remarried and began a life that was always drama filled due to the alcholosim. Left Oklahoma and moved to LA. Had an unbelievable life style change, went from living in the Salvation Army shelter because I was to afraid to tell my family my husband was still drinking and lying to constantly make things appear better to my husband getting sober and starting his own business and even having a yacht slipped at Marina Del Rey and living in a 6000 sq ft home owned by the wealthest family in CA (Otis Chandler)--lots of things I am not able to talk about transpired, I made a cold call to JW's from the yellow pages and Gwen Logan was sent to study with me--6 months later I was baptized.
