so tomorrow is 'mothering sunday'.
this is the first one i will have 'celebrated' in over 30 years.
my youngest took me out for a meal today - it was lovely, just to be 'normal' and so warming to see my son feeling that it was ok to recognise his mum.
To my loving mother that shuns me for no other reason than I disagree with the beliefs and teachings of her GOD (the governing body) : Go take a flying leap!
To the rest of the REAL mothers out there, please enjoy your day of recognition, you deserve that and so much more.
all comments welcome.
love.
wobble.
Listen to John Lennon's Imagine song, pretty much sums it up for me. Now I have to go and listen to it.
damn,many jws claim that lord of the rings is "demonic" "satanic" "promotes spiritualism" and that fairies,goblins,trolls and other fantasy creatures are satan's minions and that we should not read/watch etc anything like that.however,elves and the rest are not real and the stories are fictional.can't a jw read a sci-fi or fantasy book?pffff.
I was going thinking the same thing cantleave. I figured there was at least one other Donaldson fan out there. Haven't read any of Green, do you recomend?
i would describe my congregation on the whole as quite wooden ad robotic.
though there are some genuine sincere and loving brothers/sisters, there is overall something missing in my hall.
i dont feel incited to love and fine works by the brothers.. i find the boe as a whole - to be quite distant.
The last one I was in was cold, uncaring, and everyone gossiping about everyone else. Kind of like all the other halls I've been to during the 29 years I was in. And not to mention the shows that went on when the Hounder's hounder came around. There was an elder in the last hall that I went to that would not talk to me for over 3 years. He had visions of becoming a C.O. himself, so when the C.O. was standing there he came up and hugged me. I asked him why he would hug me when he would not even speak to me in years. You should have seen the look on both of their faces. Needless to say, he is in the same place, kissing the same asses trying to get ahead.

I really enjoyed the sci fi/ fantasy books of Stephen R. Donaldson. He wrote 3 triligies, starting with Lord Foul's Bane, and another series of around 7 books called The Gap series, kind of Star Treckish. I have read them all at least 3 times. I can give you specific titles and dates if you want, just PM me. Hell, I could even mail you most of them if I didn't think I would read them again.

XPeterX- Can't a JW read a sci-fi or fantasy book?Pffff You can read anything you like, as long as you don't tell anyone.
To my mom: You can pound sand for shunning me because an insane mind control cult tells you that you should. Shame on you!
one of the questions i ask jws before discussing anything with them is:.
"what facts, evidence or otherwise would you consider as proof that jehovah's witnesses are not the true religion?".
i thought it was unfair to simply ask that of them so i figured i'd answer a similar question:.
Maybe just one prophecy/prediction could possibly be correct?
(sure hope this is the correct place for this topic).
i was reading nasticanasta's comments on a couple of threads, and it occurred to me that, since so many have gone into the jehovah's witness sites on facebook and have - uh, let's say, 'played a role'.... do you suppose a few of those ardent, blindly faithful jehovah's witnesses have buzzed in here to wreak revenge?.
a - ha!!
Most jw's avoid apostates at all cost, plus all the demonzzz on the internet, so I would guess that 99% would stay as far away as possible. I do believe that a select few at branches or from the motherland itself monitors these sites.
from a jw friend:.
"a friend sent this cover for new w..... and said at bethel they have been working on it for months, long before haiti and chile..... isn't this great?!
funny, when i saw the cover, my first thought was "they finally got it right!
this cover for new W..... and said at Bethel they have been working on it for months, long before Haiti and Chile.....
That's really funny, on facebook a site named "watchtower uncensored" makes dozens of fake covers a day. These wt people should be experts at making their rag covers after all the time they have been doing it. Working on it for months?.....
