JWs aren't the only crazy ones...
by ilikecheese inhere's a lovely idea i heard from an evangelical preacher lately.
he said that any mother who works when it isn't financially necessary is "serving the devil.
" i think i remember that verse.

Kids who need blood transfusions
by ilikecheese ini was reading this story about an amish girl in ohio whose parents wanted to use natural medicine to treat her cancer, but a court has ruled that the hospital can force chemo in this situation.
it got me thinking about jw kids and blood.. .
obviously, there are a ton of cases where hospitals have made a blood transfusion happen, despite the parents' wishes.. .

Why won't JWs have "civilized" debates with home owners?
by ilikecheese init seems kind of crazy to go to someone's house touting your religion as truth and then not even defend your own beliefs.
why do jws stop the chat if someone just tries to calmly reason/debate with them?
i'm not talking about crazy preachers who start slamming bibles and yelling about how they need jesus or something.

People who pioneer on government assistance
by ilikecheese ini had a chat with my boyfriend about this, and he said that he knows quite a few pioneers who are capable of working but prefer to pioneer with government assistance.
his thought was, "well, it's kind of bad, but at least they're doing something useful/good with their time.
" i know from reading this board that it's a pretty widespread thing.

July 2013 Watchtower "Should You Trust Religion?"
by ilikecheese ini read this article while i was looking at the other magazine you guys were talking about.
they were being really stupid and generalizing about the other religions they were talking about again.
my favorite bit was where someone was saying that they went to a church that passed the offering plate around three times and that they were expected to put money in it each time.

I don't get it... (re: Memorial)
by ilikecheese inwhy do jws celebrate jesus dying rather than his resurrection?
i was talking to my boyfriend about this last week, and he said, "it's way more important that he died.
" i kind of thought the whole coming back to life thing was a bigger deal, but whatevs.. .

A fun ridiculous JW story
by ilikecheese inso i work with a jw.
around christmastime, everyone was leaving little presents for everyone else.
at least, they were doing that for the people they liked and ignoring the quiet ones; all offices are just like high school!
