  Not passing the emblems seems the least aggregious thing the Borg has done. In the face of an epidemic, even smart.HOWEVER, they are all gathering together still in one place to... WHAT? Is there any rule that you even have to "pass" the emblems? They could all stay home and stare at pic of a glass of wine and unleavened bread for all the partaking most of 'em do, anyway and PARTAKING was what they were told to do. If Ebola isreally a concern, stay at home til its OVER.

  So, let everyone stay home and thank God they got out of traveling over crocodile and snake infested rivers.

  PS, regarding boy in non native dress-he probably got a kick out of it. One of my great nephews came to visit us in a suit jacket, tie (on elastic:) ) and slacks when it was about 110degrees outside because he wanted to show off (he is 6).Not everyone WEARS "native" dress all the time. Western clothes are a sign o affluence (even when it doesn't fit:) )

  Satan's tic tacs or GB kool aid?

  by sparrowdown in

  anyone that has been a jw would be familiar with any or all the following scenarios.. 1. you get offered a full time position or promotion after submitting a pioneer application.. 2. a really great bible student you have gets offered a job which means they have to move or have no time for study anymore.. 3. a promising return visit begins a new relationship and the new bf/gf is'nt favourable to jws so the great rv backs off.. 4. a married sister falls pregnant right after her and her husband are invited to bethel or circuit work or gilead.. 5.a couple needs to start caring for an aging parent right after they decide to move to where the need is greater.. etc, etc, etc.

  most if not all jw's would tell you satan is to blame,.... or is he?.

  satanic pattern of sabotage or blind superstition?.

  Eh, stuff happens. Lots of people will say its this or that and bring God/Satan whatever into it. The only thing that has any real power is how we respond to our circumstances.

  My mother is losing her old personality

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been trying to engage and talk to my mother and her "natural" personality as much as possible.

  she has obvious concerns about the jw's, and we do discuss issues almost every time she visits.

  we didn't see her for long stretches (months at at time, and suddenly a year had gone by...) we have now both committed to a minimum of a monthly visit, and we will work toward more.

  I know it is hard, but go visit your mom already!!!!

  Don't borrow trouble. Just love her and see how you can help her through this-bring her some homecooked meals and go clean her house for her next weekend.

  i just heard on breaking news about a shooter in kansas city.

  he is in his 70s and has a decades long history of antisemitic hatred.

  i believe he killed three people near a jewish center.

  People can hate based on religion, ethinicity, nationality-whatever. I think that like Hitler, they usually use a 'commoner' and more accepted predjudice to justify doing things in their own self interest-because that is what they are all about-their own self interest. Completely.

  I've been lucky to never suffer chemical addictions, but I have had a couple of drug reactions. Have a real, live,supportive person close to you as much as you can stand it. Someone that can hear you without judging and who can truly "be there" for YOU at this time. At least till the suicidal thoughts are gone.

  Take care. You seem like you have overcome a lot. You can do this.

  Beautiful. Keep God first and let the human silliness leave you untouched. Don't complicate your real faith
