Memorial: Attendance Down, But Partakers Up!
by BabaYaga inthis is the impression i am getting from various threads.
of course, we won't "know" until they release the figures... oh, what am i talking about.
we won't know then, either, because we know that they discount anyone who partakes that they don't recognize or deem "worthy".

Were You Embarrassed When Someone "at the door" Knew More About the Bible Than You Did?
by BabaYaga init seems i often encountered "householders" who could rattle off examples of the bible contradicting itself or go into a diatribe about the history of the bible.
i never knew what to say... but of course i was trained to "know" we were still "right" regardless of their argument, and i somehow still managed to feel holier than thou and left the door feeling sorry for them (rather than foster any dangerous doubts!).
did you ever feel that someone "at the door" might actually know more about the bible than you did?

Living Well Is Not Only "the Best Revenge"...
by BabaYaga in...it is also a good example.
as such a good example... your loved ones who are still in may turn to you for assistance or advice on occasion.. live as well as you can... educate yourself in everything that peaks your curiosity... and work on responding in love, not bitterness, whenever possible.. their adage of "being won without a word" works both ways..

Was There a Fictional Work Helped You Realize the Truth About the (T)ruth?
by BabaYaga inthe pen really can be mightier than the sword, and even fiction often carries much weight and powerful messages.. did you read a book or watch a movie that made you think?
did an "entertaining" work plant a seed of doubt?.
the first one i can remember making a definate comparison to the witnesses in my mind was ray bradbury's martian chronicles.
