's that weren't born into the cult.. were there any teachings, doctrine, etc.
that you still had a hard time accepting, even though you were going to be baptised into the org.?.
which policies and teaching?.
Well, now that we got that cleared up
My answer would have to be no. Partly because at 13/14 (I don't remember the date) I wasn't aware of all their teachings. And I never agreed with the blood ban. Shouldn't God want us to value our lives and do everything possible to save them? Rather then refuse and die instead? And why would he kill little kids and people that didn't even know who he was so a select few could live forever?
Lots of questions and no answers!!

or will he have egg on his face like michael jackson?
cliff richards, i believe was a jehovah's witness and he didn't last either!
by the way, did you know that dave mustaine's mum was a jehovah's witness?
I don't know if Prince will stay one or not. K-os was raised as a JW, not sure if he was ever baptized or not. He's Canadian, I don't know how well he is known in the rest of the world.

i think we need a fun fluffy thread today, so this is my attempt at starting one.
at work we have a big bathtub with air jets.
clients come in for a hydrobath, (hopefully remember their swimsuit 'cause i've seen so many naked people by now it's getting boring), leave and then, oh joy!, i get to clean the tub.
Dams...."The last thing I wanted to do at this point is have the "erections are a normal reaction to a massage talk."Now that was funny!!!!
Misanthropic~ No! It's mortifying. I've managed to avoid this talk so far. I'm hoping to never have it!

i am going to my cousins wedding this sunday.
i am really upset because since the past few years our best friend forever friendship really has went down hill.
i have no clue.
Brookie the dress is gorgeous!!!
I know how you feel about losing your best friend, it sucks and hurts. I haven't had a close female friend since I left the JW's but I still miss them everyday.
I hope you have a fabulous time at the wedding.
Dams

Happy Anniversary!

What's that smell? Oh! never mind it's Kwin!
Another story from my current job as massage therapist. One afternoon at work a man came in for a massage with his girlfriend. We have adjoining rooms so that couples can chat during the massage. Everything was going fine until it came time to turn him over onto his back. Then it was very noticable that he was *ahem* enjoying himself immensely. The embarrassing part of the story is as I went to place a pillow under his neck, I said "just relax your head" at the same moment his girlfriend decided to look over and see how he was doing. Well she saw how he was doing and shot me a dirty look. It was dead quite in the rooms as all 3 of us tried to pretend not to notice. For the last 5 mins as I massaged his neck I was trying to stifle my laughter, hoping that he wouldn't read a double meaning into the "relax your head" comment.The last thing I wanted to do at this point is have the "erections are a normal reaction to a massage" talk. They haven't been back.

if you are celebrating christmas do not x christ out of it.. if you are celebrating christmas do you know why???.

One extreme is not balanced by going to the opposite extreme.
I agree.
The distortion of Christmas won't be corrected by eliminating all gift-giving and observing Christmas as a "religious" holiday.
So what is you point here? Why did you start this topic? Think about it.

dams: For all the ex-jWs on this board, our families DID pray together. Have some of our families stayed together? NO, they have not. Well in the first place JW church is a bunch of crap. That is the reason why it didn't work.Besides JW don't celebrate Christmas. Pick sense from non-sense.
Hibiscusfire
Your comment about prayer had NOTHING to do with the Jehovah's Witnesses, or about Christmas. It was about prayer. And that was what I responded to.
It's hard to pick the SENSE from all the NONSENSE in your post.

Don't you know that a family that prays together stays together??

You need to back away from this soapbox you are on.

These are great! My cats are giving me the evil eye, they can't sleep because their mom keeps on laughing and waking them up.
Keep them coming, it's cheering me up.
