  watchtower on women shopping for shoes.

  most folks are unaware watchtower has published an essay on women shopping for shoes.

  today my blog exposes this wretched piece of publishing!

  I am a shoe-holic!! I have tons of girlfriends. The ONLY person I can get to go out on a shoe shopping expedition is my homosexual guy friend who loves shoes (and bags) even more than I do. I think it is just like everything else - everyone is different.

  The picture is ridiculous and an insult to us shoe-holics. I would never settle on one pair! And, I'm not indecisive - I know when I try them on if they are a YES!!

  All joking aside, I dislike pictures like this one because it reinforces stereotypes. As much as I like to make fun of myself and laugh at my idiosyncrasies, it can be harmful when these jokes are applied to entire groups of people. It is a hard line to draw between humor and inflexibility.

  religion only to do with belief?

  as jehovahs witnesses we were taught that the truth (belief) unifies every aspect of our lives and is of paramount importance.

  are other like religions like this also?

  do they emphasize belief to the same extent?.

  Hi Curtains: I would love to read the piece by Graham Harvey and I do have access to EBSCOHost. I was unable to find anything called "Myth a Religious Studies Approach" or anything similar attributed to Graham Harvey. Could it be a portion of another work?

  Angry mob of Facebook JWs.

  i was looking through my facebook and one of the friends i have on there is very angry at a particular girl who added brothers and sisters from different congregations as friends for the sole purpose of bashing the jws on their profiles.

  they use the word "bashing" but who knows really if all she was doing was showing them genuine, unbiased information about the wt.

  anyway, i got a kick out of the fact that an "apostate" infiltrated a lot of jw profiles as a "friend" then went all apostate on them!.

  I totally read the question wrong. I would be thrilled to find someone I knew on here. (I've told so many that it is possible) I did meet someone that was in my parent's congregation on here.

  One in every congregation

  it seems that there is always one self-righteous idiot in every congregation that is like this:.

  first, the person will find every opportunity to see how much wealth people have.

  this wealth is in either time or material things.

  It could be anything really... and everything...

  We make decisions every day without thinking about it that are very important - do we allow people to treat us disrespectfully in traffic, or in line at the market? It's important because it is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. Or, a reflection of our inner self-control in the face of rudeness. Yet, we usually don't deliberate about our reaction - it just happens. It is the same with so many little, important things that happen every day. We don't think about it, we just naturally move through the choices.

  Yet we will deliberate for days about what to serve for dinner this weekend to friends we hardly ever see.

  Another thought: I wonder how many people truly think about their religious choices. If someone is not raised in a high-control religion, or are never hurt by their church, do they even question whether they belong there? Could the question be about beliefs? political - religious

  I can't answer for the above author's intention, I can just riff off what I read.

  What do you think it means, DM6??

  Pam's Girl: My middle name is Lynne as well - my mom's middle name - I hardly ever see it spelled that way.

  I think your name is beautiful. Mine is pretty plain -Angela- though my friends call me -Angie- or -GiGi-

  I named my children traditional names that could be shortened -Nicholas- and -Nathan- because that is what my husband wanted.

  I like unique names as long as they aren't words that mean something else that's unattractive like -Pilot Inspektor- or -Halo Reach- (a teen mom I met recently thought this was brilliant).

  Yours, however, is a great name. Why didn't people use your name?

  Anyone wanna place a bet on what will happen to me when I have to go to the Kingdom Hall this Saturday??

  by Coffee House Girl in

  well since there is no "betting" (as it reeks of gambling) in jdub land, lets place a friendly wager on what will happen to me when i go to my father's "memorial" service at the kingdome hall this saturday..... to give you newbies background info: i am neither df'd or da'd- i left 2 years ago with no explanation.

  i have been hounded by elders in my cong because they have suspicions that i am living with a man, but they have no proof (well, no proof in jdub land- you know...two witness rule).

  after many attempts to get me to meet with them- i finally sent the elders a "cease & desist" letter after one of them spied in my miniblinds to see me eating breakfast with someone (they couldn't identify who).

  I'm betting B. They hope all of the warm christian fellowship will lead you to start back to meetings so they can proceed with C as further proof of their love for you. Then, if you are a masochist, A will be the next phase until you have repented of all your evil.

  Fortunately, you will only have to deal with B :).

  My deepest condolences on your loss. You are in my thoughts.
