Wait...I'm confused...I thought cries of peace and security were what we were supposed to watch out for. No wonder I was such a crappy JW.

OMG They are doing commercials now!?
by flower ini just finished watching martha stewart and after it went off there was a set of commercials before the news came on and i swear i just saw a commercial from the christian congregation of jehovahs' witnesses!.
it was about raising your children with knowledge and love.
it showed a teen girl on the internet in a chat room with a person who had become her best friend and wanted to meet her in person and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..'love builds happy familys' was the slogan or something.. .

I saw this commercial for the first time last night. While they're correct that love does build happy families, they err in implying that the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses does anything to support the building of loving, happy families. What a bait a switch!

Remembering Halloween As A JW Kid . . .
by Corvin ini remember my mom and my aunt making us kids open the door to the trick-or-treators and instead of giving them candy, we had to put wt and awake!
magazines (back issues) in their bags.
how embarrassing.. anyone else have the same experience?.

P.S. I guess - in retrospect... it's a non-JWs revenge... sorta like door-to-door in reverse, eh? It gives a JW an opportunity to see what it feels like to dread someone coming to the door and knocking.
I nearly wet myself when I read that. Although, I must say, I think the dread only worked on JW children.

How much should home owner's insurance cost in a mortgage?
by Elsewhere in.
on my "good faith" estimate that the mortgage company gave me several months ago they put $100 per month.
i have been calling around and i'm hearing things like $3250 a year ($271 a month).. did the mortgage company twist the numbers to help reel me in?

WHOA! That premium sounds awfully steep! I bought a house (my first!) about 6 months ago and my premium was around $650. The replacement value on the house is $240,000 and our deductible is $1000 (I think). When I was shopping around for homeowner's insurance, I got a wide variation in quotes from different insurance companies. A word of warning: my mortgagor required that I get insurance from a company with a Best rating above a certain level (which I don't remember).

Words to Live By - What are Yours?
by pettygrudger inin trying to deal with the everyday realities of our existence, we usually pick "catch phrases" or principles with which we use to try & guide our life, growth & development.
in my case, the #1 thing that i try to live by is to take what is mine & own it.
yep, i didn't have the best circumstances growing up, and had some pretty crappy things that happened to me as a child.

Treat other people the way you would want to be treated and hold yourself to the same standards to which you hold others.

Whats the Biggest JW contradiction?
by sleepy inwhat do you think the biggest contradiction was in jw teaching or logic?
i remember people confronted us with the argument that maybe over thousands of years the bible has changed, we would probably say any changes were minor, and we have the dead sea scrolls etc that don't vary much from the bible today.
yet when asked by people with a little knowledge about the bible why the name jehovah was not in any manuscripts of the new testament, we would effectivly says its because they have been changed over time.

I think that the biggest contradiction is that a god of love will destroy billions of people for displeasing him. Maybe it's just me, but how loving does that seem to you?

DNA
by teejay inthis past sunday on 60 minutes, there was a segment about the police investigation of a brutal rape and murder of a student at the university of oklahoma in 1996. the only evidence the police had was semen.
so, to catch the killer, police asked every innocent person that even remotely knew the victim to give them samples of their dna, imposing what are called dna dragnets.
many of the victim?s associates, mainly students, volunteered.

I wouldn't volunteer a DNA sample, either, and I'm a woman. It seems to me that you'd have to trust that the police are being honest AND that they're competant AND that they're correct about what's really going to happen with the data that's being collected AND that your sample will be handled correctly AND that your sample will be catalogued correctly. That's too many ANDs for me.
