Family Day??
by ConcernedMom inmulan mentioned this on another thread and coincidentally, my daughter and i were discussing it today.
her jw boyfriend and his family have been talking about it...his little sister is making her list of gifts she wants, parents checking out the holiday flyers for good deals on video games etc.
i gather they get up early, have lots of presents and special meals and get together with extended family.

Hmmm....this sounds so familiar...sort of like Christmas but they have it a few days later. Is this common to most JW families or just this one? The also had a "movie and pizza night" on Halloween with big bowls of candy. Since one of the objections to Christmas is that it has pagan roots, if you are celebrating "family day" in lieu of Christmas, aren't its roots linked to Christmas and in turn to pagan traditions?? Just strikes me as a bit hypocritical, that's all.

I can't remember where I originally found this... Lord's Prayer A Translation of "Our Father" directly from the Aramaic into English (rather than from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English) O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration! Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide. Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission. Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire. Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish. Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment. For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth-power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again.

I wondered about the one where they looted the overturned semi and took the trusses "at no cost to the brothers."

DON'T HONOR THE DEAD----IT'S DEMONIC
by Mary inwell i got a threatening visit "shepperding call" from a couple of local elders last night.
seems "someone" saw me with a poppy on my coat yesterday, which of course is a big no-no.
they wanted to ask me about this in person.

"In Flanders field the poppies grow..." I'd paste the poem but since I still haven't figured out why I can't get paragraphs, it would probably just be a big mess. Try this link-----http://www.geocities.com/~worldwar1/default-poppies.html

It's not like it has to be all or nothing...no one has to "DA" from JWD--as you heal and replace the time spent here with other things, you can "fade". Only you can set the timeline and if you need to come back, you know you will be welcomed.

It's funny, I was just thinking about The Four Agreements while reading another thread about confession--the part about humans replaying old mistakes over and over, without forgiving themselves, letting go and moving on. Regarding prophecies...while I believe there are those with genuine psychic abilites, there are more out there that are oportunists. Even the genuine are certainly not infallible and the very act of making a prediction changes things. If you're told you will be run over by a red truck, you'll be on the lookout for red trucks right? In any case, living your life for TODAY is never a bad thing! --Deb
