Just received the latest Free Minds Journal...thinking of sending pg.11 out
by whyizit ini've had a few light and heavy conversations (always peaceful, always "asking" rather than telling), with my jw friend.
i just received the latest free minds journal and wondered about sending "anonymously" page 11 to her.
it gives all the flip-flops of what a generation is, according to the wts.. we have touched on a variety of subjects that she just knew the wt could explain, but alas they could not!

Most avoided Bible verse and biggest misconception of Christians????
by whyizit ina friend asked me today what i think is possibly the biggest misconception that jws have about christians in general and what bible verse did i think was avoided most by the wts and why.. besides the idea that all churches are after is your money: based on my friendship with a jw, i would say that the wts leads its followers to think your average church spends a huge amount of time and energy trying to discredit the wts.
she seems to think they have little printing rooms with employees, whose sole purpose is to print apostate materials about the wt and anonymously mail it off to jw family and friends.
that they spend a large amount of time in the pulpit warning everyone not to answer a jws knock and to slam the door on them once you know it is a jw.

A question about Nephilim
by whyizit init seems like the nephilim are a favorite subject of my jw friend.
it's one of the first things she likes to bring up with people to show how much she "knows" about the bible.
of course, many christians also believe that the nephilim are the result of a sexual union between fallen angels and humans.

It may not make any difference, but if it did,....what would you suggest?
by whyizit inmy jw friend and i had a conversation.. it seems she received an anonymous letter from an "apostate" person.
explaining why they left the wts.. of course, this person must have left the jws to pursue a deviate lifestyle.
since there weren't a bunch of sited bible verses to substantiate her claims, my jw friend is trying to dismiss it all as a sour person who thinks they missed having a childhood, due to over-zealous jw parents who were supposedly "too strict".. she comented that had this person given good biblical reasons as to why she left, and supported those reasons biblically--then she might be more inclined to take the letter seriously.. now, i know this is a bunch of bs.

Some confusion about a JW friend's take on holidays.
by whyizit inmy friend is a self-proclaimed jw, actively involved in fs, all the mmetings, assemblies, etc...., but as of yet, not baptized.. she told me a few of years ago that she no longer was going to participate in anything that had to do with christmas, birthdays, etc...... we have had some pretty deep (yet, peaceful) conversations about the blood topic, holidays, and 607bc.
along with other conversations on other subjects.. this year, sor the first time in a long time, she called to wish me a happy birthday on my birthday.
she celebrated thanksgiving with her family.

Did this ever occur to you, when you were in field service...Your Thoughts?
by whyizit ini know that jws have a mighty big persecution complex, and feel vindicated when doors are not answered, slammed in their face, or people are out and out rude to them.
but to those of you who were involved in fs, and had these things happen to you, did you ever think there might be legitimate reasons for it?
especially in light of the fact that many jws start off the schpeel with, "what a dangerous world we live in.

Question for diabetics---Need a recipe:
by whyizit inmy husband's friend at work is a diabetic and is leaving to go to a new job.
my husband promised i would make him a couple of fresh blackberry pies from our own fresh picked blackberries, but they have to be made without sugar!.
my typical way of pie baking is the lazy woman's way.
