  Connect the Dots in the Awake!?

  by euripides in

  2. bible

  recently, i saw an issue of despertad!

  sitting around in a public place and leafed through it idly.

  at the back of it, on the inside page opposite back page, was something like 'family fun' and a connect-the-dots game of joshua, or something like that.

  Today is my mother's birthday

  by euripides in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have never in my life wished my mother a happy birthday.

  largely because i know she would find it offensive.

  and raised in that poisonous environment, i to this day loathe other people knowing when it is my birthday and feel strange when if they do, or even family do wish me a happy birthday.

  2. beliefs

  i have read on some posts here (but have not found a thread) that wts has abandoned the 7,000 year "creative day" concept in favor of the "we haven't a clue" position.

  does anyone know when this happened or if this shift has been documented already?.
