WERE JW'S REALLY INVOLVED @GROUND ZERO?
by crittersitter inmy currently devout jw sis told me how "proud" she was of the bro's at the wtc and how they fed , and comforted all those ppl...this told at the meetings i suppose.
or was this just spin?
i think i read (was it here) that the doors of hq got locked up so outsiders could not come in..... did they really get involved" or was it enuff to make them look good?.

Are Kingdom Songs Good for You?
by Englishman ini have a little theory buzzing around in the back of my mind.
it was triggered by trevors comments re the low self esteem that is endured by many jw youngsters.. i`m wondering if the singing of kingdom songs can actually make you feel depressed and worthless.
i know it might seem a strange idea at first, but see if my reasoning doesn`t make at least some sense.. i frequently see the tv ad for linguaphone, the language learning course, that uses your repetition of foreign language phrases spoken along with a cassette recording.

Email to my Dad on the UN / Prison Stories
by msil inok......it has taken me lots of soul searching to put this post up (it contains some facts i dont really feel all that comfortable putting up).
but i will try and leave out here for as long as i can.. it is an email i have sent to my dad.
it is a followup - he has some of the info on the un already.

Dedicated
by joelbear ini have a question for the group.. i am wondering if anyone has ever had a dedication and baptism successfully anulled.. i clearly recall that i did not answer the 2 questions when asked with the baptismal group.
i have an enormously strong aversion to lying and i knew that i was a homosexual and therefore didn't feel like i could answer the questions truthfully even though i was a virgin.. if i was never dedicated in jehovah's eyes how can i be disfellowshipped in his eyes.
i never took the vow, so doesn't that basically just make my baptism meaningless.

30 years a WT slave
by larc insomeone on another thread asked about schnell's book, thirty years a watchtower slave.
i have a copy of it, but hadn't looked at in many years.
i reviewed it again, and understand its importance better now that i know more about the jw history.. let me summarize some of the information that struck me.

12/15/2001 WT; Christmas ok if married to non-JW?
by Alleymom ini was wondering if someone has the full text of the article on p.28 of the 12/15/2001 wt, in the questions from readers?.
i understand that there is an article which appears, to some, to indicate a softening of attitude regarding christmas.
i'm told that it is now ok for a jw wife married to a non-jw husband to participate in some family christmas activities as long as she doesn't regard this as an act of worship.. i would really like to have a copy of the exact wording.. many thanks!.

What do you like about K Halls?
by philo inhi folks.
what do you like about kingdom halls?.
i am not talking about the software i.e., the people, the pure language, the music, the smell of lavender as the toilet door swings to, or the obedient rustle of bible pages.

They Stole My Sign!
by silentlambs ini have a sign in my front yard on a main highway.
it reads, "no child molesters, www.silentlambs.org".. last night evidently, someone took the sign.
now i live one mile from the kingdom hall, do you think it could have been jw's?

tubal ligations
by crittersitter inhello all...been lurking between puppy grooms...just had to post this one!.
my daughter and x-hubby (inactive jw for many years) went to dinner the other night at grannies( hard nosed jw) and was told that the wtbs says that jw's can no longer have tubal ligations.
the reasoning was it interferes with the "natural order" of things.
