What Can We Do to Show How We Cared about Oompa?
by Band on the Run in
1. jw
2. friends
i know others have posted on the original thread.

several people, including myself, would like to do something concrete to show our concerns re: his treatment by the jw, and how important he was to all of us here.

i suggested a handwritten note, on behalf of the whole community here, flowers, and perhaps a donation to a charity that helps people get back on their feet.

Eric Reeder's Memorial?
by NeverKnew in
1. jw
2. friends
i've seen the insulting obituary and like all of you, i'm blown away.. i've also seen several threads of individuals crying out for an opportunity to meet with others on this board.

maybe it's time to recognize the need for an assembly (if you will) to foster a familial relationship for those on this board!.

what if a memorial were planned, in eric's honor of course, for a weekend next september in north carolina?

by jws in
1. social
2. family
i'm divorced and i have a daughter who is nearly 11. last year she watched a video in school covering upcoming body changes (which she already knew about).

but one suggestion they gave that i didn't think of was to go get femine supplies and be prepared for when the time comes.

i like being prepared ahead of time for emergencies.

If JW's Could Recruit Everyone in the World to Their Religion, We'd All Die and Be a Bunch of Miserable Amoebas!

there would be no doctors to help us.. there would be no teachers to teach us.. there would be no engneers to build things.. their would be no electricians to electrify things.. there would be no great chefs to masterfully create awesome meals.. there would be no accountants to help keep books balanced.. there would be no vets to help keep our pets healthy.. there would be no chemists to do all the chemistry things that make so many things we use.. there would be no scientists to dazzle us with new discoveries.. there would be no hubble space station, and how could we possible appreciate the glory of god if we couldn't see beyond our nose?.

i bet you can think of lots of things i can't...but you get my drift!!!.

we'd all be sitting around, huddled into our little tight knit bundles of bible study banter rehashing the same old verses day after day, and never ever come to any understanding at all about how grand our world is, how insanely huge this entire universe is and not to mention the other universes besides this one, nor could we grasp what other planets are like without higher education.
