  JWs and the holidays at work

  by limbogirl in

  1. jw

  i had lunch this week with some business colleagues and one of them complained that at her office there is now a "no merry christmas" policy which includes not saying merry christmas, not decorating the office for christmas, no christmas party, no secret santa games or exchanging of gifts.

  i asked why all the rules and she said that there is one woman (out of nearly 150 employees) who is a jw and office management has decided the best way to handle the situation without excluding this woman or offending her in any way is to eliminate all reference to the holidays.

  as you can imagine the other employees are in an uproar.

  We have two dubs employed at my practice and one of the partners pushed for us to change the christmas party to a year-end party so they would grace us with their presence. Most of the staff was not happy with that at all, and the cute thing was they both stayed about a half hour then left when people started having fun.

  what is a born again christina?

  by tetrapod.sapien in

  well, typically, a born again christina is a guy who is at the end of his tether, and doesn't give a f*ck about much anymore, and is depressed and cuts himself.

  and then one day, on just a typical weekday, he meets a girl named christina, and she is so sweet and she gives him his faith again.

  his faith in humanity and the universe.

  Why Would the Creater have to rest?

  by researcher in

  it just occurred to me recently.

  we are told that holy spirit moves to and fro, that there is a source of dynamic energy that never stops etc, so why after 6 creative days, would there be a need to rest?

  Back when Bo Jackson was the big thing with the Bo Knows stuff, remember, Bo knows baseball, Bo knows football, Bo knows rocket science, etc. I remember seeing a guy walking across campus with a t-shirt on that said:

  "Bo knows your girlfriend"

  One of my all time favorites was a bumpersticker that read: "My karma ran over my dogma"

  yes, "complete idiots" - that's the phrase the latest awake ( jan 2006) uses on page 6, thusly:.

  "however, man's vision of the future has often proved to be illusory.

  for example, decades ago one expert said that by 1984, farmers.

  I think its a typical case of the splinter in someone else's eye and the timber in yours. I see that sort of behavior all the time, someone complaining about how someone else acts when they themselves are even worse offenders.

  Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you are here, I hope that you can help give some of us some insight as to how people can remain in the borg knowing all is not "right", I know it would help me better understand my family which is still all in when they "know" many of the things I know that made me leave.

  Do YOU Consider Yourself An Apostate?

  by Golf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find this labeling insulting and misdirected.

  i have been lied, deceived/tricked by a group of men posing as god's direct channel of communication.

  when a group of men heightens the expectations of a world change to happen in 1975 (armageddon) to its' adherents and nothing occurs and then blame their adherents for thinking such thoughts, this is outright deception.

  Apostate always reminded me of prostrate and has about the same ambience in my book. Labels? Labels? We don't need no stinking labels.

  Here's something that has always made me wonder. From what I can gather, homosexuality has been around since we swung down from the trees and started walking upright, why in the world is it still an issue? I would think it would have been assimillated into our collective cultures long ago.

  Any thoughts on this?
