Lecithin?.....
by Pahpa indoes anyone remember the brouhaha over lecithin in candies and other food items?
i remember one sister writing to all the manufacturers of these products to inquire whether or not the lecithin was from a blood source.
there were even lists of products to avoid that were circulated in the congregation.

Any positive experiences with the JWs?
by greendawn inwe all talk about our negative experiences with the jws and no doubt most were negative but weren't there any positive experiences with some of the few decent jws around?
i recall an old jw who was of the anointed and who was very benign, knowledgable, supportive and opposed to much that the dubs were doing especially the lack of love among the congregations.
also another very good natured dub who would always reward me whenever i gave him a little help with his business.

I met an ex jw at church today!
by esw1966 ini recently wrote an email to my pastor and let him know of my story and journey up until this point.. he thanked me for blessing him with my story and had stated that he was praying for me and my situation and my 3 children.
he was very encouraging, positive, and loving.
after getting his quick response, i received another email from him stating that he had just received an email from another ex jw and how similar her story was to mine.

How is it possible that JWs are permitted to be nurses etc?
by MinisterAmos inthe first thing i can remember from my jw studies is having the (no) blood policy explained to me; the brother liberally quoted from the ot and then from the nt when i complained that mosaic law did not apply to christians.
he also reminded me that "all scripture is beneficial" (forget which book that's from).
a quote that i must have heard a hundred times if i've heard it once is from leviticus.

What weird things have you read in the bible?
by stillAwitness inthe fact that nimrod's name means: "he stirred up the whole earth to rebel"
and yet ezra's name means: "help"
what caused nimord's mother to name him something that had such a negative meaning and yet he turned out to be just that?

"I wish god was alive to see that!"
by one of 12 inhubby and i were sitting watching simpsons this morning, the episode where all the lights were really bright to keep the crime at bay.
lisa and bart overloaded the power supply and the power plant and blew all the light bulbs in time for everyone to see the meteor shower.
homer, marge, lisa and maggie are all sitting outside watching the show up in the sky and homer casually says "i wish god was alive to see that!".

Stop following others!
by hibiscusfire infor this new year it would be nice to do some soul searching.
do you follow others just to "fit in" the in group?
it's time to stop playing games with yourself and accept who you are and build on being a better person inside out.
