Apprehension about the holidays
by greenie inso...i've been feeling a tightness in my chest thinking about the upcoming holiday season.
you know, october = halloween; november=thanksgiving; december=christmas, etc.

Conscience Matters
by greenie inhas anyone ever compiled a list of things that are now conscience matters for jws?
if not, do you guys know what things are currently considered conscience matters?

How do you talk to your kids?
by greenie injust a question that's been bubbling around in my head the last couple of weeks as more new people join the board or others become more established.
for those of you on here that have children, nieces, nephews, grandkids, cousins, friends' kids, etc., how do you talk to them about what the jws teach?
i know there are many here that are in mixed relationships that either started that way or became that way when one left, i know there are those here that have both left, and in any circumstances, i'm just wondering how you talk to your kids about the religion and their beliefs.

The Eucharist
by greenie inso i was reading on the watchtower's site about the eucharist (i was actually trying to find out what they say about thanksgiving, the u.s. holiday) and i got to the beginning of their explanation on who should partake in communion.
primarily, though, the lords evening meal is a communion meal.
by partaking of the bread and wine, the latter show that they are fully united with christ.
