i notice that all our us freinds are posting about their food so what about the uk version?.
london cystal place:.
anyone remember the danish pasties?
the yummy bars of chocolate! i used to love them! you can get something similar from aldi and lidl now.
i remember the homemade cakes at the circuit assembly too. The food was always the highlight for me as a child - getting a strip of tokens to spend as I liked!
yawn.... .
stay in the beehive.
one day a young boy was riding in a horse-drawn buggy down a country lane with his father.
how cruel is that! the bee wasn't harming anyone - was going about doing its business by pollinating the flowers and some idiot goes along and knocks it off!
quite sick inducing if you ask me! hated these chain emails when i was in and hate them even more now!
ok, im putting my neck on the line here but ive always believed that children should be raised to make their own choice, if to serve jah or not.. i wasnt ever forced to believe in anything, any religion etc, although my background is very complicated.. anyway, hubby and i have always thought that how can a child decide if they dont know what other things are, ie birthday partys, halloween etc.
so, our children are allowed to choose if to go places etc.
last year our little boy said he didnt want to go to a halloween party, this year he said he might.
I'm with Ironhill - I've never met a witness like you before!

AE - if your kids said they didn't want to go out what would you do? You couldn't leave them at home alone.
For a lot of parents weekends are the only time they can go out - that means taking their kids with them! There are no other options for them!
i always wished that i could wear a poppy on the run-up to rememberance sunday ( for details on this british commonwealth custom see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/poppy_day ) and often used to buy a poppy but binned it before anyone saw me wearing one.
as i understand it , it is a dfing offence ,though i cant see anything explicity in the wts literature.
anybody who is faded but not dfd worn one and what feedback did you get?.
Going to buy and wear one this year. My grandfather who wasn't a witness couldn't understand why we wouldn't wear them.

AE - I do not for one second think that any elder would approve of your liberal viewpoint. Whilst it is admirable I just can't see any elder condoning it.
From what ATJ has just quoted from the elders book you could very well get df'd for this.
Why don't you tell the elder that knows you come on here and ask his advice on the matter.
i've been a lurker in this site for some time.
i am not a jehovah's witness, but was here because i wanted to know more about the organization, since i am in love with a jw woman.
she recently rejected me, on the grounds that "she would not risk her relationship with jehovah for someone who would die in (snap fingers)".
The woman your friend married is not baptised and therefore wouldn't be considered a JW by JWs so doesn't count.
It does happen - one of my friends who is a witness recently married a former witness. I know a few people mainly sisters who married "outside the Lord". Doesn't happen very often though.
not sure if this was caught on in your cong or not, but now our service overseers text everyone in their group for their field service time.. now i understand that texting and email are good tools, i use them everyday.
but how impersonal can you be.
espicially when it comes to "life saving work".
mine started texting as I would never answer his calls or voicemails! That was a couple of years ago.
i used to look at the old stuff as info that the witnesses were progressively understanding.
i didn't hold it against the witnesses if they changed understandings because after all the 'light was getting brighter and brighter".. as time went on, it did start effecting me.
there were too many things i'd let slide by when i was younger that i just couldn't ignore any longer.
It gave me doubts certainly. The one I couldn't get over was blood fractions being ok but transfusions were still banned.
i dont know if this has been talked about before but i've seen it recently mentioned so i thought i'd ask and get the good and bad dirt.. first, who was the nut who thought this up?
8 days????
are you kidding me?
its bad enough getting people to go on the Friday let alone take a whole week off work to go!
My dad told me about how by the end of the session they couldn't see the words in the songbook or the bible!
