JW's can't associate w/worldly types but can take thier money???
by Agnes ini understand that jw's aren't supposed to associate with worldy types, but they can do business with them right?
just seems sort of contradictory.
"i can't associate with you but i can take your dirty money and will pretend to like you to get it".

Random Act of Kindness
by cruzanheart inlast year, as many of you know, my dad committed suicide.
a couple of months after his death, i was in our local petsmart and started talking to a really cool dog trainer.
he was bright, loved animals, and had one of his dogs with him (who obviously adored him and did everything he asked).

Food Drives, did you donate when you were a JW?
by codeblue intoday our postal carriers are having a food drive.. i was showing my hubby the things i rounded up and asked about giving something else...he said...no...i said: "well, why shouldn't we, we have plenty"..he then said "sure".. we then had a discussion about if jw's ever give on such occasions for food drives.
i for one, did not, and i am ashamed to say that too.. so, did you give to food drives when you were a jw?.

Are JW's embarrassed about being JW's?

JW cannots........
by Nan ini couldn't believe this list of cannots that jws have to adhere to!
i already knew about the holidays, blood tranfusions, the pledge, etc.
there's maybe one or two that i would agree are for your own good, but the rest are ridiculous!!

Mom came to visit, tried sticking the elders on me!
by Eyebrow2 inwell, my mom came down for a visit...she was her for about 9 days.
she mostly got to spend time with my kids, since i had to work, and was away for 4 of those days (she came down at this time partly so i could go away with my husband for a short trip).. now, my mom is one of the sweetest people in the world, but a die hard jw.
there is a hall about 1/2 mile away from me, so i made sure she was able to make her meetings while she was down here.
