  i remember the elders telling us that we had to let everyone know that we were a jw.

  does your boss know that you're a jw?

  does your teacher know?

  Never ever upon pains of death did I tell anyone. I hated being associated with it in anyway, hell I don't tell people now that my family are dubs as I don't want any of the stigma.

  The short answer Badboy would be that God can do anything he wants, now why he would want to "artificially" age things, well who knows. I used to love how my parents would scoff when the Catholics would say "its a mystery" but then I would ask about dinosaurs or something and they would say, well we just don't know what God did, gee that sounds like a mystery to me.

  yearbook of jehovah's witnesses 1970 p.9.

  watch tower bible & tract society of pennsylvania 1969 need for mental cleansing.

  it is evident, therefore, that there must be a cleaning out of the mind if there is to be an implanting of right thinking.

  Fuming, Angry, seething, seeing RED!!!!!!!!!!

  my parents went to the assembly this weekend.

  they were telling me about disciplining children... the speaker was saying how all babies are born selfish and demanding for their own needs and not anyone elses.

  the jist of the talk being about discipline, and training children ...ie taking them out for a good beating.. well, i don't know if any of you have ever 'just seen red!

  They take their full share in seeing that their children remain quiet during congregation meetings. If their baby starts to cry, or their child becomes boisterous, they in their turn will take it outside for appropriate discipline.

  Responsible Childbearing in This Time of the End

  Did anyone notice in the last phrase "they in their turn will take IT outside"?!? They called a child IT, I mean how much clearer can it be that the WBTS does not even impute humanity to children, they are IT's until old enough to become slaves for the Borg. They refer to them as chattel or something. Good God, I hate the Borg a little more each day.

  my husband who was never a jw does not see the humor in this - but i knew ya'll would.

  occasionally i will ask my mother (a devout jw) a biblical question to get her thinking.

  i used to ask her a lot of questions, but it put a strain on our relationship and i finally decided i just needed to love her and accept her the way she is.
