JW.ORG logo on EVERYTHING
by dynamiterose77 infine line between idolotry and branding... just sayin.... .
i'm just seeing a lot of home-made or print on demand site items with jw.org logos pasted all over.
as an art director, i laugh, because it's hideous.

Would you do this to your kids? Is this cold or am I crazy?
by BU2B inmy mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.
she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.
she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

JW's DO celebrate Xmas!
by PrincessCynic ini'm finding it really funny how many witnesses celebrate christmas without actually 'celebrating christmas'.
i'm just looking at facebook and seeing how many got together with family on christmas day or boxing day and had a big roast dinner, often with turkey, ate too much, drank too much, played some board games etc.
then a few days later i'm seeing photos from all their 'family present days' where the kids get a ton of gifts to open.

Anyone else excited about 'The Hunger Games'?
by sd-7 ini'm trying to figure out if i'm the only one.
it actually feels weird because i would assume this is geared at teenage girls, not, like...28.8 year old men.
but it seemed like an awesome adventure story, the best i've read apart from some of the truly great star wars novels (the best ones are largely written by matthew stover).

Since leaving the truth, do you celebrate holidays, and does your participation in such bring you happiness?
by Stand for Pure Worship ini ask this respectfully, and do so after watching a favorite show of mine's season opener which had a new years storyline.
hollywood tends to make movies and television show episodes centered around holiday themes appear warm and blissful.
while i'm thankful to have never participated in such holidays, i can't deny my curiosity about ex-jws that do celebrate.

should I tell the CO my doubts?
by Captain Blithering inits possible i might be asked by the co to work with him today.
hes gonna want to know why i'm holding myself back.
i'm itching to tell him about my doubts (only about the new light, how i cant get my head around how the hs would direct us to believe falsehoods for decades, not about everything, that'd be suicide!
