My Wife wants to allow a Sister from her congregation to provide before and after care for my oldest daughter...
by garyneal inwhen my littlest one was born we knew finding affordable daycare would be tough.
a sister in her congregation was suggested over and over and we finally checked her out and allowed her to keep the baby.
my oldest has had a fairly normal life (thanks largely to me and my wife before she became a witness) and because of that she is quick to speak of birthdays, holidays, etc.. i want her to continue to have a fairly normal life as i know how hard it would be for her to be 'singled out' because her friends decide to do these things.. she's about to start kindergarten and my wife wants to try some sister from her congregation who is looking to make some extra money providing before and after care.

Has anyone, other than me, tried to get your friends/loved ones to prove 1919?
by garyneal inhas anyone, other than me, tried to get your friends/loved ones to prove 1919?.
did they really try to prove it to you or did they write you off as hopelessly lost or somewhere in between?
as some of you are aware, i have been trying to get my wife to prove it to me, and if not her, another believing jehovahs witness.

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.

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.
