Gotta say it took me a minute to realize you meant the dictionary! I read your thread title and immediately thought of the old t.v. show with the little kid! I just had to tell you thanks for the laugh and the automatic slap to the forehead! I guess I should've had a V8!

WEBSTER on "Jehovah's Witness"
by compound complex injehovah's witness n: a member of a group that witness by distributing literature and by personal evangelism to beliefs in the theocratic rule of god, the sinfulness of organized religions and governments, and an imminent millenium [emphasis added].
webster's new collegiate dictionary, 1977. while checking up on another word in the js, i noticed the above.
nothing earthshaking here; i was simply bemused by webster's take on what a jw is and how he [the jw] views "organized religions" other than his own organized religion.

I hate Walmart!
by Elsewhere ini rarely ever set foot in the place and will go out of my way to avoid shopping there.
tonight i made the mistake of giving walmart the benefit of the doubt and walked in the door.. they didn't have the main item i was looking for, but they did have one other small item.
i headed to the front to check out only to find they had only a few check-outs open and all of the lines were far too long.

Add my family to the hate list!
I avoid that store like the plague. There are times I stop there.Maybe three times a year. I am not perfect in my avoidance, but I never go there to "shop". I hate what they have done to small town America and the businesses they have ruined! I have seen many go under due to their greed. -

LOL!
"Five weeks will pass quickly" , you said something like that. It will pass quickly for you, but the poor mama will feel each agonizing minute that baby is sitting on her bladder! The last week is killer on the mom! Especially if your little guy likes it in there and decides to stay an extra week like both of our babies did!
It is so exciting! Congratulations and pamper mom! Back rubs and kisses are always welcome! My hubby painted my toenails for me (I certainly couldn't reach them!) so I could feel beautiful!
Make sure you have a cup of ice chips for mom during labor! It helps cool her down, gives her liquids and something to crunch during contractions! The only breathing help I needed was for my husband and doctor to tell me to breathe. I was enjoying the peace of not breathing! I remember thinking, "It feels so good not to breathe!" But the baby needed me to breathe for her, so as a mom, I had to start again and take care of the baby!!!! What we won't do for our children. I mean really. I even have to breathe for you?
Congratulations again! Wishing you both a quick and easy birth and a long lifetime of togetherness with your sweet little guy! -

(((((purplesofa))))
Kindest thoughts to you as you contemplate your brothers life and your love for him. May you find peace and assurance of a reuniting with him in your heart. Don't let anyone take that thought from you. It is so hard to fathom it after the specific jw indoctrinization (sp?) we received.
Faith in Jesus' words though, keep it in our heart and mind. He said in his Father's house there are many rooms and he was going his way to prepare a place for us. (This is a scripture I was asked a question about and I couldn't forget it. It helped lead me out of the jw.) I like to imagine what they must look like! After all, the city has pearl gates and all sorts of precious gems! Let your imagination run wild and remember your brothers interests and what his room might be like! Hope it helps!
Hugs,

Hello Everyone...

well, not really, just away from any discussion of that horrid religion.
i just couldn't give any more seconds of my life to talking about anything even remotely related to jehovah's witnesses.

Hey!
Long time no see! It sounds like life is treating you good! Love your attitude! It would be fun to see you on youtube. I may have missed one of your comments, but would you share what your short stories are about (topics) or when you get published? It's nice to see someone using their talent! Glad you are enjoying it! -

Oops - Wifey might be cross-wise!
by AK - Jeff inshe wore her new cross that i bot her for her 50th birthday to work.
an elder that works there [whom she rarely sees] saw her and eyed the jewelry.
we'll see how it goes - but she is expecting an invite to 'meet with the elders' now.

I've wanted to buy and wear one too. I have just been afraid of the same thing.:-(
I have been thinking I am letting the fear of man keep me from declaring Christ in this way. I can't recall right now the exact scripture, but the one where Jesus says that he acknowledge before the Father all those that openly acknowledge him.
Hooray for your wifey to have the courage and strength of character! Tell her she is an inspiration!

I wish I could see that.
Ahhhhh, I sigh as I pretend to be sitting with my family and you sipping my sweetened coffee and sharing some good conversation. That would be a true paradise.
I can only imagine the jumping and barking your dog is doing!!!! The deer used to drive our dog nuts! -

I only had time to listen to about 7 minutes, but yea for them! He easily refuted the elders statements and you can hear the elders lack of reasoning outside of the watchtower box.
What presumptuos men they are. It is sickening to think I used to swallow that line of reasoning and think witnesses were so superior. Visiting other churches has really opened my eyes to the lies they believe about themselves being so unique and special to God.
