  i am new

  2. experiences

  i have been studying with the jw for just over 3 years.i have always believed in god and the bible.

  the path my life took ended up with me being a single parent of 4 children.. the jws led me down the path of the "truth".

  my grandmother disowned me and i just couldnt understand why.i was told that satan was lurking round every corner trying to get me away from god.

  every magazine on the news stand is very carefully aimed at a target market.. .

  it has long been known that how information is presented makes a big difference to who will read it.

  you will agree that the ny times or scientific american are more erudite than the national enquirer or the toronto star.. .

  Brand New Blood Card

  by PoppyR in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hubby has just come back from the service meeting where they have been handed out brand new style blood cards, now called 'advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment' .

  it's quite a bit different.

  and has the line on it about giving permission to the hospital liason committee to see your notes and medical records.. very scary stuff i think, and i certainly wont be filling one in.. i'm really short of time tonight, but will scan it in, along with the notes that go with it and try and post it some time over the next day or so if someone else doesn't beat me to it!.

  i was in my red long underwear and jumped up to put on my jeans went down stairs to answer the door, i always turn on the light and look thought the peeper to make sure charlie manson is not knocking, no manson but two of my local elders from the hall.

  i have not had any one from the hall take a run at me for at least a couple of years.

  Is Christmas for fun?

  by LittleToe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  given that so many practises associated with christmas are blatantly christian in origin but christianity endorses spiritual self-flagellation/crucifixion, moderation, and enough "-isms" to make your eyes water, is christmas truly for fun?

  i know that often there are few christian connotations attributed to it nowadays, in such a hedonistic and sensory society, but history is on record in showing that the whole baby jesus thing is definitely a christian element.

  would any true hedonist today want to drink such a mixed cup (potentially of poor-grade wine)?
