Serious Question
by Prisca inas we all know the society has very strict guidelines regarding conduct between the sexes.
in the cong i grew up in, it was so small-minded that if you were single, and seen talking to a member of the opposite sex, you were presumed to be in some sort of relationship with him/her.. sex before marriage is out of the question, with heavy petting also looked down upon.
dating is a serious affair, with all onlookers expecting engagement/marriage to be the outcome.

Christmas Greeting!
by RR ina few years ago i met a women, former jw from queens, ny, she had left the society for various reasons, one of course, was the 'lack of love' within the congregation.. she started her own greetings card company for xjws, called great crowd greetings.. in going through my stuff, [the never ending, some day i'll get this basement cleaned up] i came across a card she sent me during christmas 1996.. on the cover it reads:.
"i bring you glad tidings ...".
on the inside it reads:.

Thats soooo cool. I wonder how something like that would do on the internet on an ecard site.

Hi everyone, Growing up we were still catholic, regardless, my mother was from italy. She hated sex and never gave us any indication that it is anything but vile. I have always naturally been the opposite. I have a very healthy drive (ok im putting it mildly). With no guilt, My sis hates sex, shes jw. She once told me she thought oral sex (can I say that here?)was demonic! Her husband was df'd for adultry. Hmmm I wonder why.

What about new light?
by spectromize ini just wanted to ask a question concerning the expression," new light," whenever the brothers and sisters are talking and when we suddenly see a new point in the watchtower or a new teaching from the society as far as our beliefs such as the change in doctrine like the generation teaching.
is it really accurate to say new light or just plain and simple error ?.
you see i grew up as a catholic and before i became a witness we considered our church and the pope as god's representative.
-
claudia
Why is it considered new light when they are forced to change things? for example, in 1975, the year came and went, they had no choice but to change things.
