Tanzania witch doctors
by EmptyInside indid anyone else watch 20/20 last night?
it was about in the country of tanzania how people born with albinism are in hiding,because witch doctors claim that their body parts are potent ingredients for spells.
they cut off their limbs and it's just too horrific to go into detail.

A bit of irony
by EmptyInside inhi all, the first time i posted on here i was really depressed about being single in my late thirties.
well, it's kind of ironic that i don't care about that as much anymore.
and, especially since i'm dealing with more important personal issues, which is examining the faith i was raised in, jw's of course.

Gossip
by EmptyInside inright now, i'm pretty disgusted.
a person really close to me is a victim of some pretty malicious gossip from his old hall.
he's very sincere as far as the "truth" goes and i know he never would hurt anyone intentionally.

Graduations (Witnesses)
by EmptyInside ini know a couple young witnesses graduating.
one,especially i watched grow up,and thought i'd send a card.
i was invited to the party too,but less association with witnesses the better.. i just wish there was something i could write in the card to wake-up the younger generation.

Bad Advice
by EmptyInside inanother thread made me think of all the bad advice witnesses have given their bible studies,when they should have just minded their business.. i can think of two right now.. one, a witness was studying with a woman who was living with a man,and they had a child together.
nevermind, he was the father of her baby!
well,the study became a witness and gave up the man she loved.

"Imitate Their Faith"
by EmptyInside inso,a family member picked up the new release for me at the convention.
and i am skimming through it,and find it difficult to get into,because it seems written as a children's book.
i guess all their publications are going to be simplified.

Food Service For Building Projects
by EmptyInside inthey simplified things at the conventions and assemblies as regards to the food service.. i don't understand why they don't for the building projects,pioneer schools,etc.. it seems like they are always asking for volunteers and funds to supply food for these occassions.. now,i understand with regard to building projects,ones from out of town should be supplied with food and drink.
it should all come from the funds that were raised for the building project.. but,i know in one congregation it doesn't seem to be the case,especially when it's mainly the local witnesses working on the project.. they have huge breakfasts,and heavy meals provided with the expense of the publishers.
it's becoming a burden and many are not being reimbursed.
