  Branded as stubborn, what do you think?

  my husband's family are jw.

  they don't have much to do with me because i have been branded stubborn with regards to their teachings.

  the first book they studied with me was the divine name that will endure forever.

  Welcome Smudge - and good morning (early riser too !). Yes it can be very frustrating to argue with JWs. They ignore anything you say or ask, and give you canned answers to all your valid and researched arguments. They refuse to read anything that's not a Watch Tower publication.

  I had a heated discussion once with them about God's name also. They want you to accept as truth anything they present to you and they refuse to listen or consider anything you say that could bring doubts into their well rehearsed and memorized presentation. They live in their own little dream/fantasy world....

  Is your husband an "active" JW ? Does he want you to "convert" ?

  I use beer when I roast a chicken, gives a crispy skin.

  I use white wine in pork roast. Red wine in beef roast. White wine with poultry too.... Makes for a great gravy.

  So what's wrong with Simon's posts ? nothing imo. He just tells it like it is. Nobody here in the US seems brave enough to say anything about all this president's blunders.

  Just get our men & women home soon.

  Yes, like next week.... Let the people of Iraq rebuild their country and their government. They don't want the Americans there anyway. If we're so afraid of terrorist attacks on the US soil, just forbid the entry in the country to anyone coming from Iraq, Iran and other middle east countries.

  The Newshour with Jim Lehrer on PBS shows pictures of military personnel killed in Iraq. Almost every evening, with their names, where they're from, their age.... Most of them are between 19 and 25.... It is so sad.

  I'll never understand why Clinton could have been impeached, because of some private sexual misconduct, but nobody has asked for Bush's impeachment yet, for lying to the public, going to war under false pretenses, making a real mess out of everything.... and for being the dumbest president ever....

  (oh boy, I'm gonna get it !)

  Newspaper Article on JWs today - Write the paper - PLEASE!!

  by Seeker4 in

  today's sunday, claremont, nh eagle times has an interesting article on jws - inspired in part by a quick build kingdom hall going up this weekend in rockingham, vt.. here's the link: eagle times article october 23, 2005. i thought the article was good, but may have gone a bit easy on the witnesses.

  no mention of witness shunning, the dateline expose, silentlambs, the blood issue, witness beliefs, etc.

  also a bit confusing is the assertion of the tremendous growth rate at the same time that the article states that baptisms have dropped off 33% in the us since the mid-90s (holy shit!
