Apparently my mother-in-law invites herself to placesÂ…
by garyneal inwell, the district convention of the jehovahs witnesses (gosh i cant believe i typed all that) came and went here in hampton, va and apparently our district is large enough to require two weekends at the coliseum to get everyone.
my wife went both weekends.
the first weekend, she went with some of her friends at her congregation on friday and boy was she super zealous that evening, all on fire and what-not, and talking about how good the talks were, etc.. she did not go the first saturday or sunday because her mom was coming to town the following weekend for the second convention.. her mom stays at our house and my wife goes all three days.

A former member of my old cult got a visit from active members of your former cult. LOL
by garyneal inthis is too funny, someone who is a former member of my old cult came our facebook page and talked about two witnesses coming to her door today.. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_35429320847.
jocelyn zichtermanoh, the irony.
i know we are not supposed to talk about other groups here, but just real quick: two jw's just showed up at my door--haven't had this happen in a while.

Straddling the fence or leading a double life.

my wife admits to leading a double life in regards to her spiritual activities.
it comes with the territory, i suppose.

What happens, or will happen, to Buddha? (According to JW's)
by garyneal ini noticed a very interesting question from poppers on godrulz's thread concerning buddha and whether or not he went to hell.
apparently he did according to godrulz, even though he knew nothing about judaism (and the bible gives no indication that the jews traveled to the far east) and he had lived 600 years before christ (so there was no great commission to spread the gospel).. jehovah's witnesses, what do you think?
my wife and i had a good laugh over this question as when i asked her three times where did buddha go, she kept responding, "he's right here.

Did my wife really say this?! Didn't the Harold Camping prophecy failure teach her anything?
by garyneal ini was talking to my wife last night about various things.
she is a woman who wears many hats, the student, the mother, the teacher, the witness.
a lot of demands on her and she feels like she neglects her family the most.

Perhaps some helpful advice. My rant on the JW mindset.
by garyneal inpride and prejudice abound in the watchtower religion.. i go to the assemblies and it becomes very clear that the speakers are so proud of the fact that their religion is the one true religion and that they are so much better than the other churches out there.
the amount of pride i heard coming from the platform is astounding.
astounding still is the fact that they cannot see it themselves and at one point in time, i could not see it either.

My Wife is reading "Learn From a Great Teacher" to my oldest daughter.
by garyneal inin the past, i've tried reasoning with my wife concerning the reading of religious materials to our children but the reasoning is not getting through.
she believes that since my oldest daughter prefers church to the kingdom hall (no surprise) that in order to provide any kind of 'true' religious instruction she must read wt material geared to the kiddies.
in the past, i reasoned that if she insists on reading material to her that will ultimately trash my way of life then i could do the same.

Can Christians Give a Witness Alongside Jehovah's Witnesses? A brother will tell me tonight at the memorial.
by garyneal inokay, long title but now that i have your attention i can elaborate on what led up to this question and my attending the reject jesus party tonight to find out the answer.. my wife signed up to auxilliary pioneer, or whatever title you get for the limited time only special of a mere 30 hours of door to door work this month.
therefore, she has been away from home a lot slaving for the slave.
today, i called her on it and said that we could use her more at home helping me take care of things like the kids and the housework.
