I dont see the difference between buying a lottery ticket and buying stocks in the stock market.. Taking a gamble on both.. The WBTS have invested millions in the stock markets and lost and gained money. If he is going to speak to the elders.. get him to mention this to them...

17Help - my husband wants to buy scratch off tickets!
by doublelife inbut, i don't see that as a bad thing.
he asked me over lunch if i think it's wrong and i told him no.
we discussed why the society says it's wrong and i told him why i don't agree with it and he agreed.

We had a few women who wore masks to all the meetings and spent tons of money on a holistic treatment to release allergies.. this was provided by a JW who specilized in this and other forms of treatment. I think the name for it was NATE. Some people sat in the library to keep themselves out of the air of the congregation. The hall had a serious problem with mold in the basement. The sold it a few years ago to people who run a day care center there now.. Poor kids..

I have met some of the posters in person and I am hoping to meet restrangled this winter. Anyone else in Florida let me know as I am here for the winter.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..

I opened my secret santa gift today.. My husband and daughter got it the other day at the post office and hid it for Christmas morning as I kept going to the post office looking for it!!! So it really was a big surprise. I love the beautiful gift and want to thank my Secret Santa all the way from California..

Secret Santa Wish List 2009
by Lady Lee infor those of you who signed up for the secret santa 2009 list here is where you give your secret santa an idea of things you might like.
it's hard enough to give gifts to people you know nevermind people you have never met.. so bearing in mind the $15 limit give us an idea what your favorite interests, colors are, or what things you might like.. in the past people have suggested something for their new christmas tree, a book, a cd of their favorite music, something from where their secret santa lives (something with the city's or country's name on it or an widely known item.. once people get their name they will be able to check back here to get an idea of what your interest is before they go shopping.. if you say "anything" or don't post then expect a surprise..

Christmas, the worst time of year for Jehovah's Witnesses
by koolaid-man inthe holidays are here and they certainly do present a problem for jehovah's witnesses once again.
christmas parties at work, getting christmas bonuses, dealing with holiday greetings, christmas carols, decorated trees and houses, santa claus everywhere, christmas candy, sleighbells ringing brings the witnesses into a very troubling and disturbing time of year.how do most witnesses handle it all?
we will be discussing these questions with former witnesses and active witnesses on the conference call this saturday night, december 19,2009 at 7 p.m. the conference call is presented like a radio talk show program.

Grace my dear.. You are such a sweetheart.. I wish you didnt carry that guilt with you.. We cant change the past and you did what you thought was best at the time.. That is the only thinking I can reconcile myself with. You are perfect in the eyes of our Lord and He wouldnt want you to feel guilty.. He would want you to be happy..
"To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny.".........Just remember that.. Your history is not your destiny.. I love you Grace.. Blessed Christmas!
