I am SO happy for you, Aussie! This is HUGE! You must be on cloud nine. Let's hope this happens more and more for others as well.
(By the way I hope your avatar gets a good movie treatment soon. It's in the works. Hi Ho Silver Away!)

"It's up to You"- the one choice the Society never gives you
by JimmyPage inmy jw wife babysits from time to time, usually non-jws.
apparently my daughter was indoctrinated to the evils of halloween recently because one of the "worldly" kids mentioned it and she told him it was bad.
(although when i'm with her alone, she totally loves the holiday).. this non-dub kid said, "no it's not bad.

My JW wife babysits from time to time, usually non-JWs. Apparently my daughter was indoctrinated to the evils of Halloween recently because one of the "worldly" kids mentioned it and she told him it was bad. (Although when I'm with her alone, she totally loves the holiday).
This non-dub kid said, "No it's not bad. Is it, Jimmy?" My response: "That's up to you." His response: "Halloween is not bad".
I got to thinking about the response I gave, and I don't think I could have given a better answer, whether to the boy or to my own child.
It really is up to you, and it should be. My daughter often says things to me like, "Halloween is bad for Mommy" or "When is Mommy going to like Christmas?" (By the way, you should have seen the shocked look on my wife's face when I said "it's up to you". Like it was a totally new concept that sprang forth from a two-headed alien).
I think it speaks volumes that the simple act of forming your own opinion on matters is so violently opposed by an organization.
Anyway, I think it's time to reinforce the idea of free will in my kids and hope it sticks.

I enjoy playing piano though my style is admittedly very simple.
If I'm singing I'll play the chords with my right hand and the root note with the left hand, alternating between the two to keep the beat.
Or if I'm not singing I'll play the melody with my right hand and the chords with my left, usually something out of a "fake" book that tries to reduce the number of sharps and flats.
I find playing to be very relaxing.

Baba Yaga, you mentioned "The Devil's Backbone" by Guillermo del Toro. I like that one, but to me his "The Orphanage" is even more haunting. Have you seen it?

Muscle testing, applied kinesiology, and just plain being wrongheaded
by JimmyPage inmy wife's family have been jws for generations.
we all know that the watchtower had crazy ideas about health early on and were usually at odds with the medical community.
so it's no surprise that my in-laws are big on non-traditional ways of treating ailments.. but for years now the society has printed articles and preached in assembly talks against applied kinesiology, or muscle testing.

LOL... my in-laws are big on herbs too. There was a sister in the cong I grew up in who was into the coffee enemas... and these kind of people always try to drag others into it too.

JWN is enjoying a renaissance!
by Mickey mouse inthe past few months we've welcomed a lot of newbies who have contributed a lot to this forum.
some quality discussions are taking place, the likes of which i haven't seen here for a while.
in addition, many are taking action to expose the watchtower society for who they really are.

I have to say, I agree... it feels like the Society is being exposed like never before. Millions are now flooding from impure worship to the mountain of JWN. May it continue until the demise of the WT!
