the three greatest teachings of jesus.
are all cancelled out by the practices and teaching of the fds.
jesus gave three outstanding examples of what it is to be a follower of his and the actions and mindset that you should have, all three of these teachings or example's are diminished by the practices of jw's.

don't remember the exact year, '86 I think, but it was declared the "Year of Peace". I remember having the point drilled in my head "Peace and Security, then sudden destruction."
I remember that too, I had only been Baptized for 2 years, it scared me to death....

you know whats always bothered me intensely?
.. when witnesses (esp.
pioneers) have all the little wt extras, such as the wt year agenda, the wt removable book covers, bible with their name printed on the leather cover, the rv book with the little tower logo on it, "pens from patterson" etc.
I had some of the extras. I wanted people to envy me. I wanted them to think I was more holy than they were
FF,
I certainly never had them to promote... "Envy".
Most of those things were bought as gifts for each other....

Yeah I found some of that annoying as well
I'm sorry, I was one of "Those" that had all the extras....
Seemed most in our congregation did tho....had no idea it offended some....

it seems like they are not big on the big family holidays.
also, as a jw, what did you think people did on the 4th?
as a JW, what did you think people did on the 4th?
Being a convert at age 28, I knew what worldly people did on the 4th...
As a witness, we would usually cook out, and watch the neighbors doing their thing.... seems from above posts, alot of JWs did that.
