hey, there is a very good article on mormon shunning on the front page of the saturday los angeles times.
i'm going to respond to this journalist and tell him about the dubs.
i think maybe if many did this, a good story on dubs might come out - maybe even front page too.. go here: http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-000095596dec01.story.
Amazing article.
Why aren't the JWs cited along with the Amish, etc...
...She eventually told her Mormon husband that she would no longer share a bed with him unless he stopped wearing his sacred Mormon undergarments, worn day and night by the devout. She wanted a respite from symbolism....
Now, what are sacred undergarments ?????
we put our first tree up, a blue spruce with white lights and a hodge podge of ornaments and a little tinsel.
it's beautiful and was a lot of fun, the kids were so picky about choosing where to put their ornaments.
anyone else have a picture of their tree to post?
No I am not upset at all, it is just a wonderful time of year.
...I got news for you, little one, THAT particular day was selected for no other reason than because it was ALREADY a big day for celebration among the pagan world. The Catholic Church just renamed it, calling it "Christmas" instead of the "Saturnalia". You're obviously not up to snuff on all that is known about "Christmas"....
Now you presume dear Yadirf, I knew that, most people know that, but as you also know, we are not worshipping the sun anymore, it hasn't been done for centuries and centuries in this part of the world...
Well enough of that, better things to do this morning, have a wonderful Christmas dear Friday.
Do you get any presents ?
Don't answer !!!

Well then Friday, Thank all of us "pagans" for brightening the dark winter nights with all our lights and stars and glitter, that you enjoy so much watching...
Would it make any difference to you if the birth of Christ was celebrated sometimes in October ? As noone knows exactly when Jesus was born, December 25th. is as good as any other day.
You're really upset about this wonderful time of year, aren't you ?
What about Thanksgiving ? Do you have a big dinner with friends and family, with turkey and all the dressings, but call it a family reunion or something ?
Hypocrite !

No Yadirf, I see no difference between your enjoying the lights, the glitter, the shining stars, the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and my enjoying all this...
Christians celebrate the birth of Christ, non religious people celebrate their families, their children... Nothing wrong with that.
What "pagans" did 3000 years ago has nothing to do with us, at all.
The hypocrisy of the Watchtowerites is just amazing.

Friday/Yadirf, do you lock yourself up in your room from the time the first Christmas tree appears in the shops and houses until the last one has disappeared, mid January ? All the lights, the glitter, the colors are so wonderful on a cold, dark evening in winter....

Now this is funny...
Why isn't FARKEL on Who's Who ?
Farkel, would you write something for me ?
You're so good at it and I don't have enough time right now !
I'd like to have one page, titled "The fine print that they don't show you until it's too late" or something like that...
all the stuff JWs will never talk about during Bible studies and their door-to-door visits...
Disfellowshipping, Shunning, relationships with wordly people, dress codes, education, the UN fiasco, letting your child die rather than allowing blood transfusions.... etc.
What do you think ?
a couple of weeks ago, we get a phone call from my husband's aunt.
she tells him that his jw grandma (g-ma) wanted him to call her, and she promised him that she would not shun him.
this is how the phone call went.. grandma (g-ma)- "hello, who is this?
This is unbelievable !
...Disfellowshipping does not severe family ties...
One question, Why would the aunt tell him to call Grandmother ???
So sad !
of cancer, it seems.. * http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011130/en/obit_harrison.html.
bummer, dude.. lisa
Very insensitive Slip.
I cried this morning in my car, listening to the news, and old Beatles'songs.
I still cry thinking about the senseless death of John Lennon.
