Hello all
by Theredeemer inafter many years of visiting this site off and on since its inception i would finally like to throw in my two cents and opinions into the mix.. first of all, i am a born in, baptized at the tender age of 9. although i totally disagree with allowing someone at that age to get baptized, i will say that i was very imformed and i knew my dogma!
at the same time, though, i was aware of many inconsistancies with many of the beliefs and practices of the jw faith.
i was adopted by my grandparents since i was 2 months and they had been jws since 1950s.

It's funny how situations like this created so much drama.
by shakyground ini'm sitting here at work by myself reminiscing about an old situation that created unneccesary tension.
a few years ago as my mother was in the hospital just diagnosed with ovarian cancer,most family were already at the hospital but my sister who lived in new york at the time had not arrived yet.
my mother who was newly reinstated and knew that my sister and her ex husband now boyfriend wanted to stay the week in her house.

The whole NGO thing.
by shakyground ini was just thinking today at work about the whole ngo thing and got pretty deep in thought about it.
i remember reading about it and i remember reading on a pro jw site i think it was jehovah uk or something like that.
on the pro jw site they said that when the society signed and joined as an ngo there were no requirements to pledge that you will uphold the ideals of the un etc etc.

Can anyone relate? Or is it just me?
by shakyground intoday at the gas station i'm at the register getting my snacks and i happen to glance out the window and see my super j-dub workmate.
the kind of guy that just can't seem to have a conversation without bringing up spirtual things.
i don't see him that much because he works another shift, but everytime i do see this guy he asks about how my studies are going, or when am i getting baptized, what's holding me back, or ask me a rhetorical bible question, kinda like quizzing me.
