hell, they ("they" in this case being the govt., i gather, but i'm unclear on exactly what govt.
Oh my gosh I just realized something! *slaps head*
There are other black folks just like me!
My family and I live in a new home development, it's less than 3 years old and the last house has just been completed. I just realized that out of the approximate number of 70 homes in my development, there are about 10 black families (my family included). And guess what? All of these families are 2 parent families! Can you stand it? I think you can.
This is a class issue.
the watchtower says that jesus came to inspect all the churches in 1918/19 and then chose the bible students to be his chosen ones.. what i want to know is, where does the bible say that jesus was going to do any inspection at all?
let alone a special inspection in the year 1918!.
this "inspection", upon which the watchtower obtains all of its authority, sounds like something added to the bible!
It is true because the society says so

In the black community where the father impregnates for fun and vanishes there is no community support by family in a positive organized way. The grandmother often becomes the surrogate parent who rules with an iron fist. The black man who has no respect for women has only been bullied by an uncoping mother or an indignant grandparent.
I so love broad sweeping statements. Amazing that I don't see myself in that mix and I happen to be a black woman reared by a 2 parent black family who amazingly enough both of my parents came from 2 parents black families. Oh and I am married to a black man and guess what?....we have a 2 parent black family going on!! Can you stand it?! I bet you can.
This was and is the norm for me. That above....No.

mother called me last night.
yeah she's talking to me and my sister now.
i dont know how mother and my sister patched it up.
Thank you Arthur.
Katie you're such a nut, I can always count on you for a good giggle.
Ok Update time:
My mother called about 2 weeks ago (after my last post on the subject) and we were chatting. Mother says "Your sister is talking to me now but she hasn't apologized yet." I told Mother not to expect an apology since Suzie believes and knows she did nothing wrong. What did I say that for? Big fight ensued. OK I let that slip because I really hadn't said anything to Mother about the situation between Mother and my Sister and since I hadn't said anything to Mother assumed I agreed with her (which I do not) and I was tired of listening to Mother lie about what my Sister supposedly did to her while Sister was laying in her hospital bed after losing her baby daughter, in pain, with dangerously high blood pressure and minimal eyesight.
I also told Mother that if she was expecting my Brother to call or to be waiting by the phone for her call and forgiveness for whatever he supposedly did - dont bother, my Brother told me he's not playing Mother's games anymore and she can stew in her own juices. If Mother doesnt call my Brother that's fine with him.
There is more to this especially about my Mother and Sister and what my Mother said recently at a family reunion about what my Sister supposedly did (big mess) so now Mother is not talking to any of us again. But really it's more like we're not talking to her.
And the reason why my Sister was talking to Mother was that was all she was willing to give her. Sis hadn't forgiven Mother but she did want to get along for the sake of our family and our Father...but as it stands now that's been shot to hell.
And I don't blame myself, my Sister, or my Brother one bit. You know who I blame.

Did he/does he do his own make-up?
i have read your posts and am suprised, shocked and disgusted at the fact you still are an active witness who goes to the meetings 70% of the time and at the same time go to apostefests and curse and talk bad about the truth.
dont you know that the bible said people like you would quietly slip in the congregation and subvert the faith of some?
are you not afraid of god and jesus?
defd - waa waa waa waa
the watchtower publishes "no man's opinion".
(wt 1931 november 1 p. 327; 1936 march 15 p. 85) .
"unless we are in touch with this channel of communication that god is using, we will not progress along the road to life, no matter how much bible reading we do" .
Is there such a thing as a "normal JW"?
it's called "omega point" and it's located up in the hudson valley area of new york, in rhinebeck.. www.eomega.org.
think of it as a 'new age' camp for adults.
lots of authors, actors and well known 'new age' types give seminars there.
I just got back from a way better alternative to a jw convention - a Mary Kay Seminar!! Boy was it fun, tiring but totally fun.
