  Jehovah's people are the happiest people on earth!

  by Coded Logic in

  2. beliefs

  so this afternoon my roommate and i decided to go grab some dinner from the local chipotle and, as we live only a short distance from the franchise, we decided it was a good idea to walk.

  little did i know that the j-dubs district convention here in sacramento was just getting out (the auditorium is literally smack in the middle of downtown and its attendees have to park in garages scattered a couple blocks away in every direction) so men in cheap suits and women in unflattering dress' were walking all over the place as though someone had antagonized their ungodly ant hill.

  and, for sacramento, this of course is the complete opposite of the normative - that is to say, our streets are usually filled with well dressed, immaculately groomed, 'i know exactly where i'm going' government officials that monopolize the state capitol m-f. .

  Being lied to by parents

  by What is Truth? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean pretty much all parents lie to their children at some point about something and usually it was to protect them or just wasn't something important and it normally doesn't affect the relationship between them and their child.

  but how does a person reconcile and recover their appreciation for their parents after finding out almost everything they taught them was an evil lie?

  i don't mean going back to the same relationship as i know that is gone, especially if the parents are still deceived.

  To My Generation: Jehovah's Witnesses of the Vietnam War Era

  by Hold Me-Thrill Me in

  to my generation: jehovah's witnesses of the vietnam war era .

  if you were a young brother in the late 60's you then remember the burden of the draft and the prospect of going to jail for refusing on religious grounds to be called up.

  in those days we were taught that to do community service was conscientiously the same as joining the military and so we were told to refuse such exemptions.

  Dances With Watchtowers - Witnessing to Native Americans

  by Clam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had a life long fascination with native americans, starting of course as a kid who watched westerns, and then learning of about their true culture and spirituality.

  i have often wondered how jws in other countries, particularly the us, would interact with the indigenous people of their country.

  do any americans here have any stories about witnessing to native americans?
