The festival of Thanksgiving...have a good one my American Friends!
by shotgun in.
this could probably be under friends but it has a belief twist in it.. enjoy your time with family and friends this long weekend and give thanks for all that is good.. i know many of you turkeys will be scared though...run ..run for your lives.. i don't think there can be too much wrong with the celebration considering the nation of israel celebrated with the festival of ingathering or harvest, almost sounds identical when you think about it.. .

"Worldly" Celebrations
by Coop Man in.
nowhere in the bible is it stated to celebrate your wedding anniversary, yet j.w.
baby showers are acceptable, but not birthdays.. correct me if i am incorrect, but doesn't the bible say to "honor the father and mother of your youth", yet mothers day and fathers day are unacceptable to celebrate.

"In Good Faith" A Wonderful Evening in NYC
by ARoarer inhello everyone, i wanted to check in and share with you my feelings about the off broadway show we were invited to see.
it was an excellent tribute to dear richard and frances rawe and thier struggles of faith as jehovah's witnesses.
i was deeply moved by their story and found myself relating to it on many levels.

When did name change occur?
by mooneyes ini was wondering if any one could tell me when the jws officially changed their name to be jehovah's witnesses?
if i remember correctly they were 1st called bible students and then russelites.
i think the answer is in the book jehovah's witnesses proclaimers of god's kingdom and i will go and try to find it.

Legal setbacks....
by mizpah inwe should not be too disheartened by the recent legal set backs pertaining to some of the court cases that have favored the watchtower's position.
the fact is that each case generates a lot of bad publicity for the watchtower society.
even though the majority of jehovah's witnesses remain ignorant of the charges of sexual abuse in the organization, the public has become aware because of the media coverage.
