  mini serpents = self explanatory, not seen it used here, but it should be! ;-)

  Welcome to the board doubtless - look forward to reading your posts. Just use your own words - no need to adopt the lingo.!

  The Watchtower In Crisis: Why They Can't Raise Good Kids

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if there any single factor that i would rate as the highest priority in raising a child, it is this:.

  teach them to be caring, loving adults who care about other people.. we've already noted, ad nauseum, how witnesses are largely impelled by motives other than love in their "ministry".

  "pioneer stroll" and fantasies about who's-house-you-want-after-armageddon, there is a further problem in raising witness kids.

  Thanks Gill!

  NWT - what was the punchline to that watchtower quote - ie what is the similarity according to the Borg?

  I'm interested - because I haven't had an orgasm over anything I've read on any of the apostate sites and feel maybe I am missing out on something?

  Name ways in which the Watchtower could make JW life more "appealing"?

  jw meetings are so dull, and so alike, that one can only become bored in no time.

  what changes would you have made in the meetings or after the meetings to make jw life more appealing and still christian?

  Hey Rebellious - glad you agree!

  I used to prepare the Instruction talk, the bible reading etc - in fact all the talks for thursday nights in case there were any no shows. One of my friends used my bible reading talk (admittedly not loads of my words as most of it was bible reading) to do a stand in once. That was the closest I ever got to doing a boys talk!

  Do have Candida? Multiple Personalities? Depression? Anorexia? Self Mutilation

  Syndrome? Irritable Bowel Syndrome? The latest weird, Witness-trendy ailment that has few or no objective medical evidences

  behind it?

  Metraton - I'm not sure if its just the odd bissection of paragraphs and sentences (formatting problem?) in your post or if I have simply misunderstood. Are you suggesting that the above illnesses do not exist except in the minds of witnesses?

  My Book of Bible Stories

  by Taylor S. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just got my hands on a copy of my book of bible stories ... (1978).

  at first i was excited when a friend pulled it out of his bag, said he'd gotten it as a kid.

  then i started flipping through, looking at the pictures, feeling the memories spin in my brain.

  Hmm Pink Jesus...

  and who are the other 690 billionaires on the planet I wana know? and why aren't I related to any of them! - ah but I DO know the answer to that, because my family eschewed materialism and encouraged permanently renting homes and working minimum hours as Translucent Glazist Maintenance Technologist Specialist Experts!

  Do your dreams affect your life....

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...or are they just a source of nightly entertainment?

  alternatively how directly do your day to day activities insert themselves into your dreams.

  the reason i ask is because i had a dream last night which i think might actually be life changing.

  Gumby - let us know if xena's suggestion works! I'd hate not to have my little nightly excursions - even the scary ones are better than no dream at all!
