Just be honest and do what makes you comfortable. If you have no problem with your view causing them discomfort then go ahead. If you want to let things roll along and not have any interruption hold hands. The answer is in your hands... Grasshopper.

Dinner hand-holding prayer at someone else's house (or at a restaurant)
by Elsewhere in.
as an atheist, i do not pray, however sometimes i will go to someone's house or to a restaurant for dinner and the others at the table will hold hands and pray.. when this happens, i politely decline and abstain while they do their thing.. .
is it rude for an atheist to politely decline to participate in a hand-holding group prayer, or is the act of hand-holding prayer a form of religious coercion and itself rude?.

Mississippi pushes back on the Westboro Baptist Church
by rebel8 inhttp://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/praise-citizens-rankin-county-mississippi_557677.html.
they were in town to protest a soldier's funeral...and this allegedly happened.
a couple of days before, one of them ran his mouth at a brandon gas station and got his ass waxed.

This is slippery ground. It is harrassment and illegal to falsely detain somone. What if it were the other way around, someone protesting in front of the Westboro Church and the County did that to them, don't think for a minute there wouldn't be legal action. Free speech is just a burden we must bear. Hate to say it but anytime the law screws with people and gets away with it there is an opening for abuse. I think it already was abuse of authority. I like it better when the locals organize and have an equally legal demonstration of support for the funeral folks and position themselves in front of the WestB nutters. An ordinance that would keep protesters a decent distance from the venue wouldn't hurt. That is legal.

Brother CBOE to the Secretary of your congregation: "Looks like the "Evilone" has been missing meetings. What happened to him? Secretary: "I heard they moved." Chairman: "Where to?" Secretary: "No one knows". Chairman: Not even family?" Secretary: "Not even his family. He just dropped off the earth." Chairman: "Well, I guess we can't transfer his card anywhere. Better just leave it in the box I'm sure he'll show up." Three weeks later the Secretary asks the Chairman; "Any one heard from the Evilone?" The Chairman: "Who?" Move and don't sweat it.

Thank God they didn't attribute this to the Lord, or did they? I didn't watch the big wrap up because I'm diabetic and all that sugar sweetness was causing my blood sugar to spike.

Unemployed, lazy minded, bigoted fools. They did thier dirty work and deserve to be punished. Won't happen I'm sure. So sorry those witnesses had to suffer that. A little knowledge would have kept them out of that building but they reject learning things objectively. If only they would listen they wouldn put themselves in line for fools like this to abuse. Thanks FDS.

Am I mistaken or are these stupid mistakes on watchtower.org?
by WontLeave inam i the only one who notices a couple of problems with this?.
first of all, passover is on 15 nisan, not 14.. the sheep should prove to be sound, a male, a year old, for you.
you may pick from the young rams or from the goats.

I didn't think that any of the participants were anointed until Pentacost some time later when the Holy Spirit was poured out. Did I miss something?

Sounds like a kingdom melody I remember !
by man in black inthis morning on the radio a member of the communist organization of the usa was being interviewed , and as a tie in to commercials the station was using.
a song that sounded very familiar/.
it was bothering me for several hours until i thought that an old song sung at the kh was very familiar.. it went something like " our god jehovah, almighty in battle" (that's all i remember).. what do you think ?

July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard
by LostGeneration inthis is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).
avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.
(para 7, pg 16).

Commenting on a blog means having read it. There's the danger. No comment, no reading. Case closed. But remember, there are pictures and videos.... Youtube is kicking the WT in the ass. Go vids.
