How does mainstream Christianity explain "Other Sheep"?
by Alana ini'm preparing for a potential discussion with my mom and, especially if it occurs near this memorial time, the discussion may contain the "other sheep" and how they are different and shouldn't partake of the emblems, etc.
i know that i probably have this information researched already, but since my last move i can't find some my research materials.
i could also ask the pastor of the church i attend, but that involves too much discussion as to what the jw's believe, etc.

My 14-year-old has a same sex attraction.....
by Alana in....and i'm not sure how to handle it.
actually, if she were getting too close to a boy, i probably wouldn't know how to handle it either....lol.
but, as a parent, i'm not sure how to talk to her about it, as it's something i'm familar with.

Nasal Surgery
by Alana ini had a septoplasty, turbinate shaving, & removal of a nasal bone spur this last monday.
i almost posted that i was going to have a procedure and ask that you all keep me in your thoughts.....but, thought that compared to what some here are going through, that this would be nothing at all.
has anyone here had similar surgery?

Need some info....
by Alana ini've tried to search jwd for what i want, but didn't find what i was looking for, so not sure if it is just what i searched for or if i just imagined the posting.
i thought that recently i read a post where someone was reasoning about the 'misleading' information from the wts, such as when they stated that the jws in 1914 were anticipating what we believe now about 1914, but how if you looked into the literature of that day, they believed that christ already came in 1874 and it wasn't 1914 like we believe today.....or something to that effect.
i am preparing some information that i may share with my mom and i wanted to include that point....as one (of many) examples of the misleading information provided by the fds.. does anyone remember that post and point me to it?.

Prince and upcoming Tour song list
by Alana inok, prince is coming to our town on his latest tour.
the ads all say that this is the last time that he'll play his "old songs".
well, some of those "old songs" (which i do like) are not very witness-like at all, as you may know.
