  when you were a jw, how did you manage to say your "thank you's" before eating in a public place?.

  or didn't you bother?.

  My hon and I are neither of us religious people now. However, we both do believe in a Higher Power that we choose to call God. We pray together before eating in restaurants....however, it is done as quietly and unobtrusively as possible since we do not wish to make a spectacle of ourselves in public nor do we want to offend those out there who may be atheist or agnostic.

  I personally hate it when I see people out in public praying loudly or taking forever about it in order to draw attention to themselves. IMO, these people are demonstrating a self-centered, proud attitude rather than gratitude to God or love/consideration for their "neighbor".

  I got counselled numerous times about my "different" (read fashionable) clothing and hairstyles. The most ridiculous ting I got counselled for, though, was for reading Vogue and Elle fashion magazines (I think some snooping elder saw them at our house). The reasoning?? They thought many of the pictures were "almost pornographic in nature" and the clothing was "designed by homosexuals and people with licentious lifestyles". BTW...I caught one of the elders who was counselling me on this staring at my boobs many, many times...lol

  Ban Bread Not Guns

  by ThiChi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a very outrageous example of how one can use statistics for their own agenda: .

  1. more than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

  2. fully half of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

  Are You Tough, Or Are You A Baby?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you were to describe your temperment, would you say that you are a pretty tough person or a crybaby?

  do you wear your heart on your sleeve and tend to be emotional, or do you let things just bounce off of you?

  the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve.... it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens;..... the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

  but the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared to the pleiades in importance, because the pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of god.. j. f. rutherford, reconciliation, 1928, p. 14.. .
