Birthdays and Jehovah

by I quit! in

my birthday is coming up next week.

ever since leaving the watchtower i aways do something on or round that day with my sister.

we usually go to lunch and do something like see a movie, play golf, or spend the day at the beach together.

I remember when I was a teenager I asked an elder why can we celebrate wedding anniverseries and not birthdays? He said " because god instituded marriage". Then I said " did'nt he institute birth"? He had nothing to say and lucky for him another elder needed to speak to him so he scurried off.

"I Don't Know What I Would Be Capable Of..."

by Cthulhu in

when one brother, who was a very close friend of mine for the whole duration of my time as a witness, realized that i not only wasn't going to meetings any longer, but had very serious doubts and questions, he made an interesting, and, i'll admit, rather unsettling comment.

he was aware that, though i was missing from the hall, i was still close to a half dozen or so members, associating with some of them on a more than a once or twice weekly basis, and that the majority of these were having doubts of their own.

he had me to his home for "a talk.

Go get a restraining order on him...sounds like a threat to me.

Were You Joyful When A Meeting Had To Be Canceled?

by minimus in

i was never thrilled to have a meeting during inclement weather.

if it was seriously snowing and the weatherman suggested to stay in because of the conditions, i rarely went to the meeting.

why take a chance, right?

I was at a CA in Salisbury NC that cancelled the afternoon session on sunday because of snow. I was so happy it cancelled and that I got to drive in the snow on the way home in my Toyota 4runner 4wd!

Thanksgiving...feelin' a little annoyed...for now...

by AwSnap in

jw

why are there so many 'debbie downers' in this world?

you'd be *shocked* as to how many jw's are saying on facebook about "why do people choose one day a year to show thanks?

you should really show thanks everyday" .

iceguy

Jw's assume that "worldly" people are only thankful on Thanksgiving, they are completely wrong on that. There is nothing wrong with Thanksgiving and that is why many Jw's do celebrate it even though they have their excuses for having turkey that day. Of course some may have it on friday but they still mimic what is done on Thanksgiving day.
