A Million Questions
by ConcernedMom inhi, i have been lurking at this site and a few other jw or xjw sites in search of some clarity but i am just getting more confused...
my 15 year old daughter has been dating a 17 year old jw for about 2 1/2 months.
he seems like a very nice kid--very shy (he is just starting to talk around me now...still not too much to my husband).

Enquiring minds and all that...
by ConcernedMom inmaybe a stupid question but what happens to the leftover emblems after the memorial?
are they given any significance outside of the memorial (like the bread and wine that has been blessed in a catholic mass) and saved for next year?
or taken home and consumed by someone?

Family Day??
by ConcernedMom inmulan mentioned this on another thread and coincidentally, my daughter and i were discussing it today.
her jw boyfriend and his family have been talking about it...his little sister is making her list of gifts she wants, parents checking out the holiday flyers for good deals on video games etc.
i gather they get up early, have lots of presents and special meals and get together with extended family.

Maybe I'm just a worry-wart...
by ConcernedMom inhave any of you ever read the book "the chrysalids"?
after a nuclear holocaust, the society has become intolerant of any "deviation from the norm" in crops/animals/people and so the burn/kill/exile them respectively to keep everything pure.
a group of kids has developed the ability to communicate telepathically but must keep it a secret or they will be considered deviants.

by ConcernedMom inwhenever i hear anyone referring to "false" gods or "the one true" god, it reminds me of the old game show to tell the truth.
#1: i am the one true god.
#2: i am the one true god.

the ceremony is family only so she will just be going to the dinner/dance.

What would you think?
by ConcernedMom inwhen i was a teenager, one of my friends started dating a jw.
he "wasn't into his religion, just his parents were.
" she ended up pregnant, quit school to get married and after that, we pretty much only saw her standing on street corners or in mcd's on sunday mornings after meetings, with her (3 i think) little boys all dressed up in their shirts and ties.
