18why me?
by kittyeatzjdubs indoes anyone else experience this or is it just me?
my jw mom just called and said she wanted me to call her back on my lunch break...but she didn't say why....so now i'm all nervous and worried, wondering what it is....did i get found out on this site by a lurker?...is there something wrong in the family?....i don't know!!!
now i have this awful knot in the pit of my stomach that's going to stay there until i find out what the hell's going on........does (or has) anyone else have this experience with their jw mom or dad...where they say they want to talk to you, and u have to sweat it out until they're ready?.......

Were you allowed to play sports?
by love11 ini was never allowed to play sports, because it would be too much association with worldly people.
no skating, dance class, racquet ball, softball, nothing.
in my kingdom hall, only the "spiritually weak" played sports.

not with school or any team of non jw's, and since there were no jw sports teams) no.

would you let your child associate with Jehovahs Witnesses?
by Ellie in.
i'm the only one of my family who is not in 'the truth', and my family don't want anything to do with me.. however, today my mum asked me if she can take my 2 year old to visit the rest of the family, i'm not invited and wouldn't be welcome at any of their houses, so she would be taking my daughter alone.. i told her i would think about it.. i really don't think it would be practical because my daughter is not familiar with the family and i don't want her to be upset.. but the main reason |'m thinking of saying no is that i feel offended that i am not good enough for them to speak to.. am i being selfish if i say no?

in my eyes, you have no choice but to say no. how can you even wonder if it's ok to let your kid mix with people who shun and look down on you? if you're not good enough for them, why is your child? utter bullshit

Buy A "Knock Off" Handbag And Support Terrorists
by minimus in.
the feds are saying that the monies given to these street vendors in major cities actually may support terror groups like hamas and hezbollah!

i think it's legal to own, but not legal to sell, i also do not for a second believe money from this type of goods goes to any terrorists, period.

Was John Denver the Anti-Christ?
by sixsixsixtynine inwhen i was a kid in the seattle area in the late '70's, i heard this rumor told many times: before all his concerts, john denver would ask if there were any jehovah's witnesses present, and then ask them all to leave(of course whoever was telling the story knew of someone who had experienced this first hand).
also, johnny carson confronted him about it on the tonight show once(carson often figured into the jw/celebrity rumours i heard as a kid), and when denver admitted that it was true, johnny asked him to leave.
apparently, several witnesses worked on his show and this greatly offended him.

i think one of my main values is being true to myself, so that i don't have anyone to blame when things go wrong, that and developing as a person, and hopefully leaving every day as a better developed person than i was the day before.

If you could bring back one thing from the past, what would it be?
by dh in.
anything, be it an object, a species of animal, a piece of forgotten information, translation of an unknown language, type of culture, anything.
any takers?

Elsewhere:
The Library of Alexandria.
Nice to see someone else want to bring back the same thing I would, it was the thought of bringing back the library of Alexandria that prompted me to start this thread.

What do you see?
by Blueblades inthe cup is half empty or half full?
the negative aspects or the positive aspects?
the ugly or the beautiful?

I think I see the bottom line, if someone asked if the cup was half full or empty, for me I would say the cup is smashed, or just refuse to choose. Turn the cup on its side and all the water will spill out, so the analogy relies on gravity and the cup, and the concept of full and empty. Hell no.
In life and people's beliefs, I see people who think they know what is right or have the one true thing, be it a christian, a jw or a muslim, and I see them pass it on. I see people who don't think they are prejudice, or who I don't think are prejudice, pass on their prejudices to their kids, and only then I see the prejudice of the parent, and then I see kids grow up to be like their parents, and sometimes that's a good thing but sometimes it's bad, and I wonder if maybe we humans are of kinds, our nature is our species, and so being human is not one species, but many.
I think people need to feel like they are part of something, otherwise they feel like they are nothing, pointless and lonely. I think on a whole people prefer not to make waves, and just go with the flow of whatever the powers that be say, in ignorrance and ultimately what is comfortable for them. Normal people want to graze though their lives, I think only one out of every 100 people or less actually actively try to better themself and their nature in life. The rest aren't even aware of their nature.
By and large I see an unconscious world, sleeping.
