Now I'm not a JW, is it ok for me to...
by Julia Orwell in...drink a lot?
gosh i love wine.
i like a good bottle of wine each night, and i have a high tolerance to alcohol, though i never drank much (except for a couple of times with the vodka, but i don't keep that stuff in the house anymore, way too dangerous) as a jw because getting slightly happy is a 'sin'.

Help get my FB page to 200 likes!
by ILoveTTATT ini have a fb page that exclusively posts excerpts from wt publications in english and then translates them to spanish.
the format of the page is like this: i post an excerpt from september 1879, september 1880, 1881, etc... until 1970 (when the spanish wt cd has the rest of the publications).... i am finding it hard to get more likes since i post very nice and friendly and inviting comments on spanish jw pages, but i get banned after three attempts... meanwhile, i get approximately 30 likes from each time i post on the other pages.
my page is friendly and does not look at all "apostate"... just simply posts wt literature and translates it.. i want to get it to 200 likes or more, without spending money on advertising.

Should an elder discourage military service even if said elder has a military pension?
by garyneal indiscussion with my wife concerning what i perceive as a hypocrisy that i see amongst elders (and ministerial servants) who happened to serve in the military long enough to draw a pension check.
all this in a former life (read before coming in to the truth) of course.
i think if said elder were to discourage a young one from seeking military service, or worse participate in the disfellowshipping of such a person if he or she choose to serve, smacks of total hypocrisy.

Convention in Canberra Aus this weekend....
by Bells ini'm just wondering whether there is anyone on this forum who may have attended the convention in canberra this weekend.
all of my husbands family went and i'm interested to hear what was talked about - especially in regards to members who have 'fallen away from the truth' or references to worldy people.... i find that how we are treated pretty much depends on what articles have come out in the watchtower (study edition usually) and what talks are being given at the meetings - so knowing what is being said helps me to be prepared.... palso - unrelated but can anyone help me - is the teaching that the anointed will all be gone / dead / in heaven before armageddon comes?
if so, how do they teach that a is 'just around the corner' when the gb are still alive and kicking - as well as other anointed ones... just wowondering.

How old were you when you lost your virginity...
by butalbee inhow old were you when you lost your virginity and was it all that you thought it would be?????.
i was 19, and my first time was a complete let down.
i envisioned that gothic romance motif, all about romance and love, i didn't know what i was doing, didn't know sex was like that.
