Need Help With A Statement About J-Dubs
by XJW4EVR intonight in my apologetics class the professor, in the syllabus, stated the following: .
"during this 1,000 year period, people will be resurrected and have a second chance to recieve eternal life by following the principles of jehovah's organization on earth known as the watchtower bible and tract society.
for some reason, this statement struck me as wrong.

Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day
by XJW4EVR ini have some very good armenian friends, and this is a very solemn day for them.
nearly all the armenian owned businesses i know of are closed today.
i don't know if i should blame my secondary education (high school) or the fact that the holocaust gets all the "press" for my lack of knowledge on this topic, but i never heard of this massacre until i was working in glendale, ca (which has the highest population of armenians outside of armenia).. .

My Wife Just Called Me...
by XJW4EVR inshe found an envelope with my name and "personal & confidential" typed on it taped to the door of our apartment.
i asked her to open it and read it, and evidently there is some evidence of apostacy that they want to review with me this saturday (4-21-06) at 7:30 pm.. the funny thing is that i have not been to a meeting since 1993, the last time i was at a circuit assembly or district convention was 1995!
i know that i have been spotted going to my church (3 blocks from the king-dumb hell).

Rules Created by the Body of Elders and an Off Topic Question
by XJW4EVR inin my latest post in my story, i recounted how my dad and another elder made attendance at high school sports events a no-no.
in retrospect, i don't recall anything in print that made attendance at local sporting events a shepherding offense.
maybe my memory is faulty.. did your boe make rules like this?.

My Story
by XJW4EVR ini was adopted into a jw family in southern california.
my birth mother gave me up after 6 months (the terms mom & dad refer to my adoptive/real parents).
she gave me up due to the fact that she already had a three year old boy, and back in the late sixties it was not as socially acceptable to be a single mother.
