  Well I could have told you that, children are such great helpers, they even seem to enjoy horrible nasty tasks like washing the dishes and folding the laundry.

  If homosexuals were treated as the Bible recommends.........

  2. experiences

  a few years ago, infact quite a few years ago, i was working in fs with a particularly arrogant jw, name of mr spong.. there had been a case of a young boy of about 9 years old who had been sexually assaulted and murdered by a pedophile/homosexual man and this was in all the national press.

  bro.

  spong's presentation was on the bible and if it was relevant in todays world.

  What a ridiculous thing to say, I bet the ground could have swallowed you up.

  Well if thats the kind of thinking ability the Awake gives you, they can keep it.

  We will never see holidays through a child's eyes

  by MissBehave in

  this is one of the things that saddens me greatly.

  those of us who were raised as witnesses missed out on all the magic associated with being a child experiencing a holiday.

  we will never know the great anticipation of santa claus, the wonder of having the tooth fairy visit us in the night, the excitement of hunting for easter eggs, dressing up to trick or treat, etc.

  I can see what you are saying but I don't believe its true, not in my case anyway.

  I was brought up as a witness, but these days I love Xmas and I enjoy the other holidays too but Xmas is just so special.

  I feel the excitement just like a child, I have created childhood memories of Xmas for mself based on TV shows and books I read as a child, the wonderful experiences of sitting round a log fire eating mince pies and pulling crackers that I witnessed on TV as a child have become my own.

  I do over compensate for my children, but I love it for myself too.

  Do you look better or worse

  the other day i was looking at some old photos of my wife as a young witless teen.

  several of the pictures were taking at assemblies and gatherings/weddings.. what amazed me is that she looks better today than she did as a witless teen or early twenties.

  i don't mean just the expression on her face, but also the way she was dressed.

  Did you buy new clothes for the Memorial?

  by MsMcDucket in

  i was just wondering how many people went out and bought new clothes for the memorial.

  did you feel like it was a festive holiday like easter or did you just feel like it was another meeting that you had to attend?

  Yes, but I was young then and very fashion conscious, I bought a new outfit for every single little occasion.

  Meeting Clothes

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i absolutely hated the concept of "meeting clothes".

  all my meeting clothes were hand-me-downs from other brothers.

  i always hated getting hand-me-downs from the fat jw kids who were older than me.

  Meeting clothes are the only thing I miss about being a witness, it was nice to have a reason to dress up, these days if ever I do put on some smart clothes I just feel overdressed.

  all of you people are the best, ... because you always have the right answers fast....... last week i had that run in with bro & sis pioneer...and they really beat me up, .

  this week a brother called me, with a stupid tax question that i know he had the answer to.

  he had not seen me since last year at the memorial...and said...."are you fatter since i seen you?".

  I don't believe in it in any spiritual sense, however I do believe that if you are in a bad mood you will be sending out bad vibes and others will react negatively to you, this is common sense really.
