  Christmas tradition - for kids

  by Dawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i initiated a christmas tradition with my son when he was little and have continued it all these years - thought i'd share it with you in case you have little ones.. since my kids just can't wait to open their presents, i wrap one special gift for them to open x-mas eve.

  it's always the same thing - brand new pajamas and a cuddly toy for bed time.

  my kids absolutely loved this christmas eve tradition.

  Marriage question

  by starfish422 in

  2. experiences

  i have a question for those who got married in a jw ceremony, or who became jws after being married.

  did the elder marrying you, or those studying with you, counsel you as to what forms of sexual intercourse are acceptable within jehovah's loving organization(tm)?

  just having a "discussion" of sorts on another board and i'm being challenged by a dutiful jw wife.

  Watchtower CD

  by PointBlank in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the last time i invested in jw propaganda was to purchase the latest version of the watchtower cd.

  that was the 1995 copy (paid $50 for it btw).

  the jw that ordered it for me accepted the money as a donation.. my question now is this: what is the latest wt cd version and is there a way to get it?

  They came by today

  by czarofmischief in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so my wife is standing at the door, waiting for me to finish my morning ablutions so that we can go out, and she asks me to go to the door.

  i met a very friendly couple who wanted to talk to me about jehovah.

  i informed them that i was raised as a jehovah's witness and that i had been disfellowshipped for about (and i had to think about this) five years now.. and the dude was offended by my existence.

  Do you remember when you first Googled "Jehovah's Witnesses"?

  by Funchback in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i first googled "jehovah's witnesses".

  i was sick to my stomach because i feared that i was disobeying jehovah.

  although i was scared that i would find something "apostate" or "demonic", i still continued to click on different links.
