i asked god for an answer to a problem before opening my bible right now and i came upon psalm 129. i feel compelled to share this with anyone who has not stumbled upon it recently.

they have greatly oppressed me from my youth- .

let israel say- .

LET FREEDOM RING!

Independence Day - Martina McBride

Well she seemed all right by dawn’s early light though she looked a little
Worried and weak she tried to pretend he wasn’t drinkin’ aagain but daddy left
The proof on her cheek and I was only eight years old that summer and I always
Seemed to be in the way so I took myself down to the fair in town on
Independence day

Well word gets a round in a small, small town they said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground she knew she was on the losin’ end
Some folks whispered some folks talked but everybody looked the other way and
When time ran out there was no one about on indpendence day

Chours: let freedom ring, let the white dove sing let the whole world know that
Today is a day of reckoning let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong roll
The stone away, let the guilty pay, it’s independence day

Well she lit up the sky that fourth of july by the time the firemen come they
Just put out the flames and took down some names and send me to the county home
Now I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or it’s wrong but maybe it’s the only way talk
About your revolution it’s independence day

Repeat chorous

Roll the stone away it’s independence day

My JW Hubby ..... help please! I think he's about to break!

i just registered and am so excited about being led to this site!

my hubby (soon to be hubby that is....should i back out now?

so, last night he agreed, at my request, to do some bible study.

AuntieJane

Welcome sheshe. I definitely say DO NOT get married until you have a resolution on this important issue. This board is full of sad stories of JW's and spouses who were out when they married and went back in. If you have a son already, don't be in a big hurry. It only gets worse when you have kids.

You will be wise to stick around here for a long time; people are great to help here! I'm not a JW either but have some family in.

Read, read, read. And as far as a Bible study...don't get into one by yourself with him. find a non-denominational church and call and ask them about their bible groups. You will probably get frustrated trying to "convince" him, and believe me...he has been trained in cult thinking and looks at the Bible differently, he could have you believing that crap the way they do. That's what happened in my family, my nephew got my niece to sit down and next thing I knew, she was a JW too.

Good luck!

Birthday Ideas

does anyone have any ideas for a birthday gift/surprise/whatever for a 24 year old?

my brother turns 24 tomorrow and has never had a family member do anything for his birthday.

i would like to do something but really have no idea what to do.

AuntieJane

I love hearing about "first" birthdays! My 'baby' just today celebrated her 23rd. She's always loved parties and birthdays, so we started last nite, by going out to eat at her favorite Chinese restaurant, even though the rest of us wanted something different.

Today she had her chocolate on chocolate cake, we had a bbq, and I gave her a jewelry box with a couple of charms for her charm bracelet...and I always put a little cash in her birthday card.

How about a Music store gift certificate...you can even get Amazon.com online certificates, they have all kinds of music, sounds like something he'd like.

Just having you wish him Happy Birthday will probably be a special gift in itself!

Enjoy!

Birthday Party - Birthday Cake

well, this weekend, we had a nice little birthday party for our one-year-old daughter.

my folks, both dubs, were not invited despite living only ten minutes away.

i still respect their beliefs, so did not even bother inviting them.

AuntieJane

pmouse, Oh no, how could she? After all, this was a celebration of Love! Birthday balloons? Who would think of such a thing?

auntieJ, who is in a sarcastic mood.

would you let your child associate with Jehovahs Witnesses?

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?

AuntieJane

Hi Ellie,

I would say, sure what time shall I have her ready? Then, be ready and waiting yourself like you EXPECTED to go along. Your child is too young to realize what is up. Play innocent. (spiritual warfare, you know?) When they come to get her if they have the nerve to refuse you going along....take her out the door to the park, zoo, or whatever and have a GREAT day with your child. Do not throw a fit, just let them know if their "Christian" church teaches them to avoid you, it is NOT what Christ, the original Christian, TAUGHT.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

no she should not be alone with such whack-os.

Best to you,

AuntieJ
