Taking my JW parents to a worldly relative's funeral
by boyzone inon wednesday this week, my wonderful cousin james died of cancer.
he was only 38 and had a beautiful wife and young family.
his parents (my aunt and uncle) are naturally devastated and want all the extended family to attend his funeral which will be held in a church this coming thursday 25th feb.. as you can imagine, my jw parents have refused to go to the church service even though they will be at the gathering afterwards.

Another marriage bites the dust thanks to the WT
by boyzone ini've known about this couple for a long time and attended their bible studies on occasions.
susan, the wife, has been having a study with the witnesses on and off for 16 years, (yeah i know, one of very useful wet day pioneer calls where we all bundle round sue's house for coffee and still count the time) the sister whose been studying with them was a sooper -uber pioneer sister with a hard-line and total society view on everything.
sue's husband keith has always been polite and interested in what his wife was learning but he loved his beer, fags and christmas too much to take it seriously.. finally a few months ago susan caves in to the pressure from uber-sister christine and wants to get baptized.

Do you still read the bible?
by boyzone ini can't.
i can't even bring myself to pick up the book anymore but i'm still a christian.. not sure why, just this feeling of guilt when i read it, and guilt if i don't.. anyone else have an aversion to the good book?.
