For Canadians with kids/grandkids
by kwintestal in.
there's been an advertising campaign lately for an resp program called kids futures.. you can find out more at www.kidsfutures.ca.
basically the way it works, is you buy something, send in the reciept/upc code and the company you buy from donates a certain amount into an resp fund for your child.. just thought i'd share.. kwin

Did you remember to change your clock?
by kwintestal ini always thought it was funny, those sunday mornings after the time change, when elder neverlatetosetanexample showed up just after the talk.
i think everyone made some sort of comment, even just to themselves.. of course this time of year they will just think of themselves as extra theocratic, as they'd show up an hour early!.

A confrontation
by kwintestal inlast night was one of the toughest nights to date in my adult life.. my parents and grandmother had been repeatedly asking mrs. kwin about arrangements to get to the assembly this comming weekend.
she isn't going and my family were unaware of her change in beliefs regarding the wts.
so, instead of putting things off, not giving an answer, avoiding the situation, we stood up.. i'm not sure how long we were there for, an hour, maybe two but it seemed like forever.

607 and Jesus
by kwintestal ina discussion with my grandmother the other day regarding dates for the destruction of jerusalem raised a question.
she stated that the 607 date can be confirmed by the date that jesus was either born or started his ministry...which i can't exactly remember.
she said this was discussed recently at a meeting, and that if you go by the date that jesus was on earth, you arrive at 607.. can anyone elaborate on this belief and why it is wrong?

Job
by kwintestal inwhat religion was job?
he was the greatest in the orient, so he obviously wasn't an israelite yet he was considered a friend of jehovah.. the israelites at the time were god's chosen ones.
since job wasn't one of them, does this prove that god accepts more than one religion?

Covert tactics in spiritual warfare
by kwintestal injust wondering something.. some on here have a partner who is a jw, but aren't themselves and never have been.
the wts are always playing up on the possiblity that the "unbelieveing mate" may "see the light and study the truth".. so has anyone bit?
has anyone used that and played their game?

Kingdumb Halls...crying poor. Are they really?
by kwintestal infor the last 2 1/2 years of my jw experience, the kh was always saying how they had no money to pay the bills.
they started holding "dollar days" at the meetings to get donations (the idea was everyone brought a dollar a meeting on top of their normal donation).
finances reportedly got so bad that they had to decide to buy oil for the furnace, or plow the driveway one winter.

We stopped by Satan's place. He says "Hi."
by kwintestal inat least growing up i was told it was satan's house.
we just made the long cross-canada drive to attend my wife's grandfather's funeral.. my wife has had somewhat strained relations with her parents since she became a jw, 8 years ago, and it seemed that this visit was going to be more of the same.
one of the first things her mom said, was that they were having a mass for the funeral in a church.
