Waiting,
I sure am glad you cleared that up for us. I kind of reads like "Who's on First" by Abott and Costelo. I am going to have to print that out and study on it. I will underline the important parts and raise my hand when you ask the questions.

Moody,
It was wonderful to see your new post and the new you. By the way, I think you should change your name from "Moody Blue" to "I Ain't Blue or Moody Any More, and I'm Darn Happy About That."

Hi gang,
Well, I'm sure glad I survived the invisible Armaggedon. I just hope I don't have to start eating invisible pizzas.
Back in the 1960's, there was a book written about the JWs called "Armagedon Around the Corner". It was, let us say, less than complimentary. The author thought that at about this time in history, that the JWs would come up with a doctrine like Trevor specified.
Trevor, I think you should send your article to Bethel. I think they could publish it, as is. Praise the Lord for new light! -

You are not alone. You have us. You have so many friends that love you. You have shared so much with us and you have given so much of yourself to others. You are part of a family that loves you. Hey, I'm a guy and guys aren't supposed to, but I'm about to cry.
Love you sis.

Wine that maketh glad the heart of man.
by TheHighPriest inwhy is it that drinking is so widely accepted amongst jw's when the bible has this to say about it?.
*** rbi8 proverbs 20:1 ***.
20 wine is a ridiculer, intoxicating liquor is boisterous, and everyone going astray by it is not wise.. here the bible say's clearly it is not a good idea to get stuck in to the drinks but i guess the writers of proverbs, inspired as they were, did not fully agree on the drinking issue because later one of them wrote:.

Well Frenchy,
My point was that wine was part of the Jewish culture and for the most part they drank in moderation. I do not believe, that they as a people were substance abusers. I have never seen any evidence of that. Today, the Jewish people have a very low rate of alcholism.

The Poor JW Children
by larc inthe children.
there are many things that could be changed, and even though i would never go back, i think there are some very basic changes they could make in their child rearing practices, simple changes that would make a big difference in their society.. 1. don't force small children to sit for two hours in a chair.. this was discussed at length on the thread about slapping children at the kingdom hall.. 2. don't bring children to meetings where the subject has to do with adult sexual practices.. 3. don't tell teenagers that they can't ask someone out for a date unless marriage is on their mind.. 4. don't tell them that they are not special, that they have to humble themselves and be like everyone else.. 5. don't tell them they have to get good grades through high school as a reflection of what jehovah has given them and then tell them they can't go to college when they graduate from high school at the top of their class.. 6. don't tell your wordly neighbors that you give your children presents all through the year, but not on their birthday, when they have never seen a special gift wrapped present in their life.. 7. don't expect a shy child to enjoy going from door to door and don't expect an extroverted, lively child to sit still at meetings.. 8. don't tell an inquiring child not to ask questions and don't tell them not to read interesting books.. 9. don't surprised if you don't change your ways that your children will leave you, even though they love you.

THP,
Regarding that Elder, just remember this: It takes 32 muscles to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to bitch slap some one like him.
Englishman,
Thank you for the Latin. You must have been raised Catholic.
Hi Ho Silver Awaaaaay

Now please don't go into a rant because I called you honey. -

Well Mr. Priest,
Certain drugs are accepted in some cultures and some are not. So what's your point. So they did a little hash, so what. I don't really care if you prove it or not. Psychadelic mushrooms were popular among the indians of the southwest. I hope they had a good time, and felt spiritual when they did it.

Were you drinking when you wrote this?
Drinking wine was part of the Jewish culture. They were taught to drink in moderation. Jesus's first miracle was to turn water into wine at a wedding reception.
