Depends... Do you know these people who invited you well ?
Or are they just acquaintances, co-workers ?
Can't help you much, don't go to parties....
A bottle of good wine or Champagne would be ok.
we've been invited to a christmas party monday night and i'm not sure what the protocol is.
are we suppose to take a gift, bottle of wine, etc?.
the guy thinks we are still witnesses, he said he still wants us to come, even though we don't celebrate it.

jehovah's witnesses and their strange bedfellows.
by lorri macgregor.
the watchtower organization of jehovah's witnesses has done some strange "bedfellow" partnering in the past.
RR says : ....As to the Watchtower and JW's, my philosphy is ....
if these people are happy where they are, leave them be....
I agree with this statement, but these people try to ensnare other people into their cult, and that's why the ex-JWs and those who know about all the horrors of the WT should try to stop them and help those innocent people who don't know so much...
can anyone ask raymond franz what he knows about the un involvement?.

Ray Franz is an amazing man.
Look what his two books have done to help people out of the cult.
He is still overseing the translation of his books, which is a huge piece of work.
And he does it all alone, typing, putting into page form, sending to different people around the world.... CoC has been translated in spanish, russian, japanese and other languages, now the french speaking JWs and cult observers will soon be able to read it too.
I admire him greatly.
just wanted to start a day early in wishing everyone a very joyous solstice.. this time of year has always seemed rather magical in a way - the shortness of the day, the lack of light, the so-obvious connection with the earth and solar system that it reminds me of.
you pagans will all understand what i mean.
somehow i've managed to get to a party of some sort at this time of year for the past few years, and i'm headed to one tomorrow night.. i also wanted to say that this board, and h2o before it, has been a huge help to me over the past two years.
Merry Christmas !
Joyous Solstice !
It may be the beginning of winter, but the days are going to get longer from now on... Just that needs to be celebrated !
But.... next year.... I will have all the planning and gift buying and wrapping done by mid-october... Promised !!!
Argh... Going crazy...
as i said in a previous message, the president of mils, alain vivien in his new parlament report on sects, is plaining to classify jw a religion (the exact term "association confessionnel").
if this would be left done it would be another victory for jw and other european countries might follow the example.
somebody (malka) called this a "fake".
G.H of MMIL (Mouvement Missionnaire Intérieur Laïque) says the following :
...en essayant de plus en plus à être reconnus par les autorités qui existent, les TdeJ prouvent de la même manière qu'ils ne sont pas le véritable peuple du Seigneur...
By trying more and more to be recognized by the authorities, the JWs
give us proof that they are not really God's people...
...if you were going to be in town soon and wanted to meet for coffee at the cafe?
and if you're nervous, i'm totally harmless.
just interested in starting to meet some of the folks on here, and you're closest.
Hi Seeker 4,
I think it would be time that we meet...
I am just a very shy person.
Also, I am so boring and uninteresting. I have nothing interesting to talk about, I am afraid...
But I'll keep you posted.
Busy times right now.
Thanks for the offer.
when i read the "gossip" colums of the newspapers.
most of the time they are talking about famous people splitting up.
and who is the most elgible bachular, and so on.. so i pose a question to everyone that reads this.
Farkel
Englishman
Metatron...
i am looking to work from home.
do any here have any ideas of how i can get into this?
i've thought about the medical transcripts, but don't know who to contact.
....translate documents for companies....
How do you go about finding companies who need such work
done ?
I'd really like to know....
Would love to have such a job, anyone can help me find
something ?
how do you brits feel about the royal family or the idea of a royal family?.
personally i dont like it.. i often feel repulsed when i see other wise sane people curtsy or bow to a royal family member.. i could never show this level of obeisance to another human being.. i would be friendly yes.
shake their hand as thats what i do to other people.
I love Queen Elisabeth, I think she's cool.
Great Britain would not be the same without the Royals.
But who knows how long they'll be what they are today...
Sad...
it gives the impression of mother nature taking a bow in unison to all man-kind.. may take a minute to load.
hope you enjoy it.. took it with a digital camera, and digital simply cannot capture the true beauty of anything.......
Beautiful picture.
Where is that ? In the South ? Virginia ?
Nay, no snow in Virginia this time of year...
