  District Assembly talks about apostates............

  by integ in

  district assembly 5/24/03 3:40 pm "beware of the voice of strangers".. 1) counterfeit words: beware of those using "counterfeit words".

  2) flirting: young ones need to avoid being lured into relationships with un-believers.. 3) you trust your christian parents...listen to them.

  you also trust those taking the lead among you..such as elders.

  If you decided to try a church, which one would you try?and why?

  by LyinEyes in

  i have been thinking of doing something i have wanted to for along time, just to see, that is go to a church.

  i guess i am a little afraid , or nervous , more than anything, but i feel i ready to venture out there and see what it is about,,,,,,,,,,,lol, i might not stay , i just want to try it.. i just want to give it a chance and right now i have no reason why i shouldnt if i go in with my eyes open.

  i dont know what religion to start with,,,,,,,,, i figure this may be a journey on finding what feels right to me, or it could end up i stay home and do my own worship , who knows.. i know there are many christains on this board and i would be interested in hearing why you choose the faith you did, if it is methodist, catholic, baptist, or other mainstream ones.. i am also interested in other forms of religion some have choosen, and why?

  When Do Worldly Friends Begin to Get Shunned?

  by Funchback in

  2. friends

  when i first started to study with the dubs, i was about 8 years old.

  my mom became a jw but she was very lax with the rules.

  she never made me "give up" my non-jw friends (perhaps because my dad never became a dub).

  Did you take down notes at the meetings?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  were you the type to always jot down every little detail the brothers said from the podium?.

  i found it amusing when especially sisters were always writting notes in their pads when the brother was giving a talk in the front.. i wonder if it was because they found the topic interesting, or because they wanted to look as if they were learning something.. i was all ears, but never took down notes.

  that's odd, coming from a person who is "visual".

  so, we all know our sun sign, right?

  welll... your moon represents inner emotions/inner self, and as far as inner person goes, is a very key sign.

  it also shows the role your mother had in your life!

  Did You Support Children Getting Baptized?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading blondie's thread of the baptisms at the district convention, i couldn't help but identify with the 11 year old that said she was so happy to be baptized and has wanted to be baptized for years now.

  i was 9 when i got baptized but really wanted to take the plunge at around 7. after my mother talked to the congregation servant about my desire, he said that she should not hold me back.

  my daughter was 14 when she got baptized.

  How much do you tip and why?

  by els in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a waitress at a pizzeria/italian restaurant.

  overall i get really good tips but sometimes it seems like the customers are going to tip a certain amount no matter what i do.

  i can totally screw up a table and still get a great tip and other tables i give perfect service to and get a lousy tip.
