If Jehovah's Witnesses Were Right...
by lilbluekitty inif they (or the governing body) were right: (fill in the blank).
- the bible (even their own) would have lies in it, which would mean the whole bible would be a lie.
- jesus' blood wouldn't really save anyone (so what would be the point of him dying for us).

They don't think you can truly be happy "outside"
by lilbluekitty ini was on the phone with my mom last night (she's an uber-dub with a don't ask, don't tell type policy where we basically just don't discuss the fact that i celebrate holidays and go to church regularly etc.
) and she said she was talking to one of my old friends from the hall there.
the friend asked my mom how i've been and my mom said she made a face and kind of went "ehhh..." and talked about my lack of meeting attendance (she doesn't know it's way more than that) and my friend shook her head and said, "aw, that's too bad, but i've been in ruts like that before" as though i'm just depressed and don't feel like going lately.

It's official!
by lilbluekitty intonight i just got my certificate: i'm officially a member of my church and a baptist.
(i think of myself as just a general christian, but i like the laid-backishness of the baptists.
i definitely don't think one denomination is better than anyone else though, and my church is multi-cultural, so i'm not a hater of other races like some southern baptists).

Any of you have a hard time finding a job since leaving?
by lilbluekitty ini was raised as a dub and my mother never pushed me to have a job.
even when i tried to have jobs she woudln't let me because to her pioneering was the only thing i should be doing with my life.
i did graduate high school and attended a community college for a year but i haven't worked in nearly 7 years and with a gap that large i can't find work.

Ridiculous article I found about anointed going to heaven/partaking of emblems
by lilbluekitty ini'm copy/pasting this from the cd rom (i only have the 2008 one and older ones), watchtower 2/15/03.
i was browsing to refresh my memory what jws believe about who can partake of the memorial because the church i go to now has the lord's supper every sunday as part of their worship.
a person who truly has this calling does not need to ask others if he has such a hope.

Hypocrite much?
by lilbluekitty inso my mom and i have an odd relationship.
we live 2,000 or so miles apart and seem to have a better relationship now that we're so far apart.
we call each other fairly often on the phone.. last month, i got a pretty sweet christmas-y pottery barn catalog with gorgeous ornaments in it.

Why No One Should Judge You For Celebrating Holidays
by lilbluekitty in"therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration or a sabbath day.
" colossians 2:16 niv (in some other translations, religious festival is translated holiday or holy day) .
