  Latest "Topic for Conversation"

  by JWdaughter in

  i think that in the kingdom service papers each month they had a 'topic for conversation' which was the subject that they used to start their 'preaching' with.

  does anyone have the recent kingdom service's so that i could know what the topics were for the last few months?

  i am curious to know.

  Organization

  2. beliefs

  how many religions have a central, organized body?

  i can think of 3 offhand-the wt society/jehovah's witnesses, the roman catholic church and latter-day saints/mormons.

  any others that have a main hq that sends out doctrine?

  For the British types-Soccer

  by JWdaughter in

  2. friends

  the only sport i ever played competitively was soccer(football), and i can thank my non-jw dad for that.

  i still dont' get the excitement over the soccer games, teams etc.

  it seems even nuttier than ours about baseball and football and ours is pretty extreme.

  What if? Works and no faith?

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower

  i was wondering, as i see all you under-the-radar-apostates-at-heart who still go along as jw's what the wt and elders would say about a person who didn't say anything about the org, went along with it, was a publisher, did the studies, went to the meetings, and did all they are 'supposed to do', but didn't buy a word of it?

  for the same reason that many of you do, without speaking out about it, just keeping all the doubts, anger etc inside.

  would you be saved at armageddon in their view?

  Met a JW while my mom was in surgery

  by JWdaughter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, last thursday my mom had a outpatient surgery at the local clinic.

  across the seating area a couple of people were talking and i got the sense that they were jws, though they didn't say anything specific to the org., they did use some catch phrases(brother-to a middle aged black gentleman, by an older white woman).

  we were discussing recipes and diet issues, and i mentioned that i had never had brisket until this woman in my church made one.

  my mom is going into surgery for a large hernia repair next week.

  My JW mom thinks I am happy. . . hmmm

  by JWdaughter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i am talking to my mom tonite at a restraunt overlooking the water, and we are having fun, and i am griping about my husbands silliness (forget which one, there are many) and she says to me" are you happy?

  " and as i am complaining about my husband, i feel kind of silly saying, yes, but i said, yes, i have a lot to look forward to, my kids are great, my (new book) business is going well, and i am really excited about the next few months-my whole future.

  she tells me, you know your sister has more money, and success, her husband worships her(mine has no such idolatry issues!)etc.

  Abstaining from Blood-Eating meat etc.

  by JWdaughter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when we consider the entire blood issue, does any jws consider that everytime we eat any meat at all we are partaking of blood?

  heck, my understanding of nursing is that babies often get a good dose of mothers blood-you would not believe what the lactation consultants say you have to nurse through!!

  so then, after looking at the bible instructions about blood, would not one need to consider the context?

  Tv Show with a JW

  by JWdaughter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, last night i watched a food show where some cute australian guy picks up shopping housewives, offers to fix them and their family dinner and comes home with them after shopping.

  so, he talks to this cute little housewife shopping for her husbands dinner and strikes up a conversation with her, finds out what she had planned for the day..

  she teaches bible lessons to people and that is how she was going to spend her afternoon.
