Am I only encouraging JWs?
by kristyann inwhen i go to this one store, i usually stop into the laundromat next door to it about once a week and pull out all of the awakes and watchtowers.
there used to usually be about 3 or 4 per week.
now, it seems that they are putting more and more in there.

JW Pseudo-Vegetarians
by kristyann inwe don't talk to them anymore, but a couple of years ago when we did, my boyfriend's jw mom and sisters all of a sudden decided that they were "vegetarians.
" they decided it was wrong to eat jehovah's animals, and plus, they said it was "healthier" anyway.
i found this to be pretty ridiculous for a few reasons.. one, they were not really vegetarians.

C-sections and blood
by kristyann ini suppose being a student in the field that i am in, i should be more familiar with this topic... but i am not.
i have asked several people and have gotten different answers, all people in the medical field.
so i am going to ask this, even if it sounds dumb... do you require blood when getting a c-section?

Do JWs still call themselves "Bible students?"
by kristyann indoes anyone know if jehovah's witnesses still refer to themselves as "bible students?
" i experienced a strange situation sometime last week or the week before and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if they think it involved a jw or not.
i have never heard of jws making random phone calls to witness to people, but i guess maybe they do.

Reasoning behind no "God Bless You!" when sneezing
by kristyann inwhat, exactly, is the reasoning behind jws not being allowed to say "god bless you!
" after someone sneezes.
i remember going to my boyfriend's house and no one said it and i thought it was just plain rude... but they are rude people in every other regard, anyway.

Ever get anonymous mail from JWs?
by kristyann inone of my boyfriend's friends gets mail every once in awhile, and it is anonymous... it's usually a watchtower or awake!
sent in a big envelope, and certain passages are highlighted.
for instance, when he stopped going out in field service, he got a watchtower with an article about the importance of dedicating one's life to the ministry highlighted, along with some of those articles where there is some person that is about 70 or 80 talking about how persecuted they were for the ministry but how happy they are that they got to share in spreading the good news about the kingdom or whatever.

JWs and Materialism
by kristyann ini was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of some articles that really stand out about jws and materialism.
you know, articles that talk about how bad it is to be materialistic, or better yet, articles that tell parents how much more important it is to provide for their children "spiritually" rather than materially.
(i mean, i know they say to do both, but i mean articles that really emphasize how much more important it is to spend time doing "family things" like the ministry, meeting attendance, family bible study, etc).
