People will be mad!" And I said..."Well, these tracts are like a-lot of other ones they have seen over the years, so they won't be mad....don't worry." And then I asked her if she thinks the meetings say a-lot of the same things all the time and she said "No, but I have been going to meetings for a long time now." Poor kid.....her 8 years do seem so long when it is spent in the religion. I am trying to plant little seeds in her that hopefully will pay off as she gets older.
Does anyone have advice on things I can do?

Here are some new lyrics to an old favorite:
We're Jehovah's Witnesses
We spread the bull-sh*t
Ours is the God of False prophesy
What he fortells fails to be!!!!
It's kindof catchy...I must admitt!

Make our teaching your belief
do not be prone to thinking on your own
control your body
to show our teachings are sinking in.
Anyone know???

Now...I know what the JW Bible says in John 1:1...That the word was "a" God...But other translations say:"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (NIV) That said it all to me and reading the rest of the Bible in that light helped it to make sence to me....and it is each persons PERSONAL relationship with our creator that counts and HE reveals himself to those that are seeking in various ways...so I don't think we all have to believe the same thing (or have the same relationship). JMHO

Bible Study - what do you think of this?
by Bad Girl ini cant help thinking that the original "bible students" did things the right way compared to how its done today.
they sat together in small groups, read and discussed scriptures and then wrote down their findings.
they did this until they had gone through the whole bible.. i know that reading the entire bible is a prerequisite for becoming a jw, but i wonder how many jws really do it or if most of them just know the regular snippets of scripture which are quoted in the magazines, and of course in field ministry etc.. i have decided that allthough i have read the bible - i think i am going to do a study of it the way these early bible students did, im going to read paragraph by paragraph and write down my findings and my feelings about what is written.

I went on some web sites that gave study "talks" on different books of the bible...and the "sermon" that hit home with me most was on Eccl. I had always known the scripture where it reads that the dead are concious of nothing....(9:5,6) and I was not sure what I thought would happen to us when we died since that seemed so cut and dry...then the speaker pointed out chapter 10:19...which says money is the answer for everything....and explained how and why the book was written.(How things would be if there was no God and no hope) It was so enlightening to find that there is a way for a mere human to read the bible and understand without the society's help!

When I was younger, I remember my sister (about10)and an Elders daughter from another hall got the same fancy dresses for the memorial. It was a silky peach one with an semi-open back. Well.....an elder told us that it was innappropriate and basically called my little sister a tramp.....I get mad thinking about this.....and the elders daughter had no issues in her hall. It is typical.
