Thought I Was Out Of The Woods
by DocHayes inwell today i was having lunch with my mother, who is inactive, and hasn't been to the hall in a couple of years.
recently she's been hounded by the elders, because of all of the christmas decorations.
even though she hasn't disassociated herself, and she won't because she doesn't want to alienate herself from her family, she attends another church.

Black History Month? Is it separation or just realistic?
by under74 inso i got to thinking after seeing 60 minutes this last week.
morgan freeman said black history month is "ridiculous" and pointed out that it keeps african-americans seperated from other americans.
i guess my thinking is that the school text books haven't really changed since i was in school.

What Kinds of Jobs Do JWs Have That You Know Of?
by minimus ini was thinking that most jws that i personally know have jobs that they really aren't happy with.
almost no one is a professional except for one cardiologist that got baptized a few years ago.
there's no one that's been raised in the "truth" that has a college education that i know of except one 22 year old young man who has done nothing to seek employment since he graduated.........any witnesses that you know of with great jobs?

Michael Jackson stuff
by Mulan inwhile cleaning cupboards today, i had court tv on in the other room, listening to the commentary about the mj trial.. i was pretty surprised when they started talking about his going back to jehovah's witnesses and that he had taken his children to a kingdom hall in solvang (near where he lives) around easter time.
so it was for the memorial.
they said that since then, he has been attending pretty regularly with his kids, but that because he is disfellowshipped (and they had this information correct, saying he wrote a letter disassociating himself many years ago, but that he is technically disfellowshipped) no one will talk to him.. so, is he trying to make a comeback?

Religion and Relationships?
by DocHayes inhow much does religion factor with who you decide to have a relationship with?
of course as a jw you weren't supposed to marry or even date someone who wasn't a dub.
but now that you're out how much does that matter?
