  true story!!!.

  my son came home from school (first grade) and had the nerve to tell his mother that he was going to hit her in the nuts!

  she was, of course, extremely upset and called me at work, letting me know i had the responsibility to take care of this mess.

  "Worldly" Celebrations

  by Coop Man in

  2. beliefs

  .

  nowhere in the bible is it stated to celebrate your wedding anniversary, yet j.w.

  baby showers are acceptable, but not birthdays.. correct me if i am incorrect, but doesn't the bible say to "honor the father and mother of your youth", yet mothers day and fathers day are unacceptable to celebrate.

  Getting drunk a sin?

  by Coop Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a pretty interesting perspective on this.....especially since i once had all of my privledges removed because i had admitted to an elder that i was hungover..... the scriptures state that drunkards will not inherit gods' kingdom, nor will gluttons.... gluttony is the practice of over-eating, much the same is being a drunkard is one who is continuously drunk.

  so, in my feeble mind, getting drunk "once-in-a-while" is not a sin, just the same as overeating at mcdonalds or at grandma's house is not a sin.. am i incorrect in my reasoning?.

  thanks to all participants.

  Facial Hair and J.W.'s

  by Coop Man in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have always wondered why witnesses are not "allowed" to have facial hair.

  when i asked a local elder just a few weeks ago (he had no idea i was inactive, just happened to bump into him while my parents were visiting from out of town), his explanation was that "in some countries, it is totally acceptable to have beards, goatees etc...., but in the u.s. of a., facial hair is a sign of rebellion.

  so, the local or territorial opinions on beards is what drives the local congregations policies.
