  Swan,

  I would not stress over it too much. In time things will come to you naturally. You don't have to celebrate to be a good person and that is what is more important ! Each of us to be the best we can be towards others, the golden key I would say. I have been out of the society for a good while now and for 10 years I never put up a tree or decorated anything. It did not matter to me if I had some place to go or not, but I was happy with that.

  Now this year it is different for me, I have a family and I feel like it's the right thing to do and not so much for myself but for my grandkids. It sure is a real warmth in your heart to see those kids faces light up on Christmas mourning. Even with all the crowds and the fighting in the shopping centers I think in the ends ? It all becomes worth it.

  So I guess what I am saying is don't worry, BE HAPPY ! Merry Christmas

  im listening to moody blues right now, remembering a concert i went to of theirs in the early 90's when i lived in missouri.

  it was by far the best concert i even have been to....they are not my favorite group but i do like them.

  i wish i could bottle that night up and bring it out to play again and again.

  A background check before that axe purchase may have prevented that victim from serious injury.

  C'mon the next thing after that ? Will be a 1-800 can I take a crap now ? Give me a break if we have to go through a background check for every little implement that could kill someone we would be screwed.

  STOP QUOTING JW GROWTH FIGURES UNTIL THE REPORT IS OUT!!

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower

  yes, there has been a lot of buzz and speculation from posters about the increase of jws in various countries, as well as salivating over the zero and negative growth rates in other countries.

  but still no one's produced the official figures for the 2007 year (which runs from september 2006 - august 2007).

  so, until we're able to see a scanned copy of the 2007 service year report of jehovah's witnesses worldwide, spare us the frustration of the pointless speculation!

  i know, i know, someone is going to say, there is no proof that global warming is real, or that its man-made.

  yeah, un-huh.

  just like there is no proof that jw's teach lies.

  The way I understand it is that the earth goes through a weather change every so many years I recall hearing 400 or 40 years I don't remember exactly which. So the weather paterns we are seeing now is nothing new. But there is still the threat of global warming and I do believe it is real unlike someone in our whitehouse right now. Look at the increase of skin cancer, I am dealing with that right now myself. But in the last 20 years it has increased steadily.

  I think this world is in for a huge rude awakening very soon and it's all our faults. It is up to us , all of us to make a stand and recycle everything possible, drive less and turn of things when not in use is a huge step. But the biggest step has to come from the government and to get them to do anything is near to none.
