My Friend died
by pratt1 ina few weeks ago i posted that a very good friend of mine from childhood was diagnoised with terminal colon cancer.. we were very close growing up in the dubdum, and we were in each others wedding party.
our kids reffered to each of us as uncle and his kids look towards my parents as their grandparents.. we drifted apart after i left the lie, but we managed to stay in touch infrequently even if only to keep updated on the kids or other family members.. fortunately for me, i was able to spent a lot of time with him while he was in the hospital and hospice, and we reconnected as friends almost like the old days.
on may 19th, although it was the day before my family vacation and i had a lot of running around to do, me and my wife went to see him.

Your eating habits
by greendawn intell us about your eating habits, are you health conscious do you avoid synthetic additives in food such as artificial flavours and preservatives and generally all processed food, are you vegetarian, vegan, do you buy organic food out of fear of pesticides, do you eat too much, do you go on diets often etc .
i was shocked to read somewhere that 90% of the food americans eat is processed.
it saves time using such food but....

I really try to keep our family on organic foods. Especially, the meat, eggs and milk. We also try to stay with whole grain breads and eating lots of organic (if possible) vegetables. Though, I am still the sucker for pizza, wings and basic junk food.

qualities
by John Doe inin your opinion, what is the most important quality a person can have?
i'm speaking of any type of relationship or aquaintence.
lets see, honesty?

I have to agree with Serendipity. Kindness, is a beautiful quality and it buffers other qualities like you mentioned before. When you put kindness with honesty then the brutality will not be there and so on.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE/WORST STUDY BOOK?
by badboy inwhich ones did you hate and which ones did you like out of the study books?

The greatest man book was enjoyable.
I couldn't stand the Isaiah books until I started to actually apply the information to the organization. Then they weren't so bad, it kind of made it fun.

Being a JW is smart; Until you do STUPID things to remain being one....
by BecauseImBroken inso it begins....
a lot.
her 3rd in 2 years, and 2nd in 6 months.

Dang, BecauseImbroken, what an amazing story. I hope that you will get to have a relationship with your child and that she will relent, at least some.
when I was in Georgia, her and I were the only ones who didn't lead the cleanest lives if you catch my drift.
I have to argue with this though. You probably just didn't know them well enough. I have yet to meet that many witness kids that don't live a double life and I had been a witness my entire life. So, don't be too hard on yourself they just haven't gotten caught yet or they are elders kids.
Welcome to the board.

Freedomlover,
I have been reading your threads and I am sooooo happy for you. I know that since my father has left he is a much happier person too.
Congratulations and much joy to your family.

they are all fine.
his wife heard something in a skylight she said, and got up, called to steve and he found the roof engulfed in flames.

Mulan,
It is sad to see all of their hard work burned down like that. Fortunately, they all got out safe. Things can be replaced people can't. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Hopefully, they will get a really large insurance settlement.
Sincerely,

JW Marriages - Loophole in wedding vows
by Finally-Free innot being raised as a jw, i went to many church weddings, mostly in catholic churches.
all the times i went to jw weddings i thought it unusual that they had their own vows, much different from the wedding vows used elsewhere.
i remembered jws mentioning "divine temination" of marriages to me and thought the vows reflected that thought.

I don't think that it is a loop hole either. But there are loop holes. Like "Spiritual Endangerment", my x-brother-in-law used it on my sister as the reason why he left her.

Unless you are baptized in the name of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Soc.
by What-A-Coincidence in2 more young'ns (pre adults) will be baptized next week.

I don't plan on going to the convention unless it is to drop a gag briefcase filled with the gag checks. haha.
But it is rather sickening to know that when I was baptized they did it in the name of the WBTS. Someone ought to tell them that that is what they are doing when they answer yes to those two questions.
