"consequently, while it is entirely a private matter if christians choose to take note of their wedding anniversary, there are good reasons why mature christians abstain from celebrating birthdays.

notice it say's mature christians.

Saoirse

Then why would they consider celebrating Jesus' birthday be a DF offense?

birthdays

by cr1234 in

does anyone know where the article is in the awake that says birthdays are a conscience matter?

Saoirse

and there is the spiritual aspect, where the Creator of life is taken into account. The manner in which a Christian would deal with having a baby shower would put emphasis on the sacredness of life.

I was a JW for over 20 years and in all that time I have never been to a JW baby shower where Jehovah or the sacredness of life was mentioned. It was always a typical fun event with presents, games, food and cake.

Curious as to what a wedding at the KH is like...

by Riverwatcher in

jw

i don't know why this has popped into my head.

just wondering about j/w weddings.. is there music?

are there any traditions used in the ceremony?

Saoirse

Is there music? Yes, kingdom melodies only

Are there any traditions used in the ceremony? Just a standard wedding talk and exchange of vows. No throwing rice or birdseed - they always make an announcement about that.

Can the couple write their own vows? I don't think so. I've never seen this done

Bridesmaids? Groomsmen? Flower girl? Yes, but they must be in good standing in the congregation.

My 14-year-old has a same sex attraction.....

by Alana in

....and i'm not sure how to handle it.

actually, if she were getting too close to a boy, i probably wouldn't know how to handle it either....lol.

but, as a parent, i'm not sure how to talk to her about it, as it's something i'm familar with.

Homosexuality is among the list of deviate or abnormal sexual practices. God did not create any human being as a homosexual. They are not born that way, just as murderers are not born that way. However, these spirits can be transmitted to children, especially if someone who had this demonic spirit seduced or raped a child--or even if they were close to gay people.
People become homosexuals because they yield to abnormal acts or lust. It is through some source that they have received a demonic spirit that drives them to their lust. Viewing evil videos or pornographic books is a way of opening the door for Satan to give one an evil, perverse spirit.

You mean homosexuality is contagious!?!?! I can catch gay?!?!?!?! Oh my God!!!!!! (runs away screaming)

I seriously hope that you are just mentally disturbed and just forgot to take your lithium, Prozac, or whatever. Or maybe you are a troll. If you're not then I don't know what to say, I'm at a loss for words.

How Can A Parent Watch Another Parent Torture A Child To Death?

by minimus in

in nyc, there's a case of a little girl who was regularly beaten and "disciplined" y her stepfather with the mother's knowlege, explaining that here 8 (?

) year old daughter was at times "insolent and sneaky".

eventually, the man tortured her to death.

Saoirse

I don't know who's worse: the pig-bastard father for beating the child to death, or the brain-dead bitch of a mother who stood by and let him.

They are both evil. I will never understand how someone could hurt their own child or stand by and let their child be victimized.

I wish we had the death penalty for child abuse.

At age 14 I don't want her to be anything....to just be asexual.

Is that wishful thinking? When I was 14, I was anything but asexual.

I was bi-curious at that age too. A lot of girls experiment with other girls, it's perfectly normal. I think it's all a part of puberty and the changes that go with it. Only she will know if she's gay or not. Whatever you do, make sure she knows you love her no matter what. Don't try to push her one way or another. Let her find her sexuality on her own.

i think you should have a sexual talk with her just as if she was dating a boy. she should be educated about the health issues involved. lesbians can pass sexual transmitted diseases to each other.; she should be educated about the emotional side of sex and the affects to her psychological well being that casual sex can have.; yeah, sex is fun, but there is a reason its for adults, it takes a large degree of emotion to understand it and deal with it.

This is excellent advice.

The Watchtower transforms people into wussy !

friends

hi there, i was just thinking about the whole thing.

when your are raised as a jw you cant have girlfriend or boyfriend and you must "feel that the other are superior than you", you must be very humble.

youve become an socially inadpted wussy.

Saoirse

For me, when I was still in the JW I found and bought seduction material to seduce the sisters in order to marry one of them. But I was feeling guilty. Now that im no more a JW im in a Seduction Community and im working to become a PUA (Pick-Up artist)and I do bodybuilding and tanning salon. It will take time but I will recover from all this Wussyness who was taught to me.

I think you need to forget about women and get yourself a therapist. Seriously. You have bigger issues than trying to find a date.

Most women do not like players. The ones that do fall for pick-up artists are usually very insecure, immature and naive. An intelligent women will smell your bull*&^% coming from a mile away. Just be yourself and the right women will come along.

And by the way, if you are hanging out in a tanning salon, the girls will probably think you are gay.

estate owner wants to avoid $33,000 tax bill by making home a church.

by scott wyman .

He said he was ordained as a minister in 1958 while growing up as a Jehovah's Witness

I used to be a Witness and I discussed religion with my husband last night in the living room. Will that qualify me for a tax break?

$1.4 million waterside estate in Fort Lauderdale...the gated 4,900-square-foot house where a pair of yachts rent dock space.. Irons has filed records with the county taking a "vow of poverty" and swearing the property will be used as a rectory and sanctuary.

This guy is so full of it he should get an award.

If he was legit, he would sell the overpriced mansion and donate the money to the needy.
