Are Western values compatible with Christian values?
by garyneal ini was going to say judaism, christianity, and islam but since i know little of judaism and islam so i decided to stick primarily with christianity.
i have found myself thinking that the values preached in the bible are not compatible with western (ie american) values.
however, it all seems to depend on who you really talk to and what he or she believes.. for example, the jehovah's witnesses preach a lot about how women are suppose to be submissive to men and yet at the same time preach how this does not mean that women are suppose to be seen as inferior to men.

What's Real About the Rapture?
by garyneal inhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-r-coats/whats-real-about-the-rapt_b_716688.html.
this is an interesting article posted by the christian left from thw huffington post.
i know jehovah's witnesses do not teach the rapture (except maybe for the 144,000) so all of them expect to live through the tribulation (whatever that was to them).

Incident with the Jehovah's Witness babysitter...
by garyneal inmy youngest daughter is so cute, she loves singing and loves being festive.
when i put up the tree, she loved saying, "it's christmas, it's pretty...." her babysitter, a witness from my wife's hall, lives next door to a neighbor who put up decorations in the yard like i did in front of our apartment.
when we leave her house, she would run next door to look at the "christmas" as she would say, "look, the christmas.

So the Governing Body alone is now the Faithful and Discreet Slave?
by garyneal ini'm just catching up on the latest buzz here and it appears that there is a lot of buzz on the 'new light' coming from the watchtower concerning the governing body and the faithful and discreet slave.
if true, i can really use this to trick my wife and in-laws (who are coming in this weekend) to contradict the new light.. at first i was going to say that this can answer moshe's question regarding who really is the fds but i understand that the change simply means when the body meets on doctrinal matters is when they are collectively the fds.
is that correct?.

Protesters at conventions / assemblies...
by garyneal infirst off, i can happily say that this year i did not attend a single day at this years district convention.. on saturday during the convention, my wife asked me to drop her off after lunch and later pick her up when the convention was over.
while i was dropping her off, i noticed a single individual holding picket signs protesting the convention.
it said things like, "was the ransom sacrifice worth it?

A question about a birthday party for my daughter.
by garyneal ini was wondering if anybody might know of a good place to have a birthday party for a 6 year old?
i reserved a shelter at a nature park with a playground but the ten day forecast is calling for scattered thunderstorms in the area.
i was thinking of trying a restaurant as a backup, maybe mcdonald's.

So what do your Jehovah's Witness friends and loved ones think of the generation teaching?
by garyneal inafter the little skit at the last assembly where one brother was asking another for understanding about the generation teaching i thought, "wow, these people will believe anything the watchtower tells them.
" the 'more mature brother' practically said verbatim everything the watchtower said as his explanation.
evidently, this is one of the sources of the increased 'murmuring' that the talked warned against.. so, has anyone brought this up to their witness friends and/or family?
