JWs and charitable work
by kj ini've read on here several times about how jws are discouraged for doing charitable work for anybody other than jws, and that they are discouraged from contributing financially to non-jw charities.
are there some references to this in their literature that someone could point me to?.
also, i had a discussion with a jw about a recent relief effort some jws did in florida.

HELP Please!!!
by RichieRich inok, so remember this guy: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/104535/1.ashx ?.
brief overview... black college professor / lawyer, recently came in the truth... yadda yadda.. well, i worked with him out in service, and we were talking about mormanism, and he said that he knew mormanism was wrong because they once taught that black folks couldnt go to heaven, but then they magically changed and said they could.
so then i asked him how he felt about the society's old stance on black people.

Boobah... an acid trip for kids?
by Elsewhere inwhen i get up for work in the morning i normally watch a bit of news in bed before i start to move around.
the other day i was flipping through the channels and came across a very very strange show on pbs at 6:30 am (dallas channel 13) called boobah.
it is designed for very young children... and i swear it looks like an acid trip!

Question for women-and men{preferably gay}
by stopthepain ini am seeing someone thats about 10 years older than me.she also works where i work.i am a union worker and she is "management"in the same company i work for.we have alot in common ,and i have been seeing her for about 2 1/2 -3 months.i know that isn't a long time,but i do really like her.i am atracted to her mentally and physically.my question is,can this work?should i let her be the aggressor,do i tell her that i like her alot.i don't want to scare her away,but it's hard to be in limbo,even for a guy.i don't really know what she wants out of this,and neither do i.we also have to keep it a secret at work,which isn't a big deal right now,but could be down the line.i should probably just take it slow,as i have.the org fucked me up in the trelationship department,so i am a bit lost.is the age difference to much.i don't feel it is,because i enjoy her company.its wierd,because my last real relationship,i was in charge,you know,the one who gets loved more than he gives,now i feel the shoe is on the other foot.time will tell,but anyone been in this situation before.just curious!
