  Why Most Christians Can And Do Celebrate Birthdays

  by wanda in

  on another thread they were talking about the lack of joy and mental health problems coming from jw kids not being allowed to participate at class dances, sports and so forth.

  the lack of the joyfulness of birthdays is another factor.

  why not leave some copies of this in your kingdom halls and assemblies if you still attend.

  their zeal for knowledge may even prompt them to dig back into things that were published long before they came into the truth, expanding and deepening their understanding, and ever growing in christian maturity.

  do you dig into our older publications to expand and deepen your knowledge on subjects about which questions arise?

  I see. But I have heard talks of the society encouraging us to read older publications but perhaps those are the more recent older ones-like going back to a 95' WT rather than '59. I got ya

  What else can you expect from an ex-jw. Its quite shameful. Sounds like she's acting like a 19 year old. The poor lil rich girl doesn't work when you're middle aged Naomi! Smiling for the cameras, Naomi Campbell glided along a sidewalk shortly after allegedly bashing a crystal-encrusted BlackBerry against the head of her housekeeper.

  "You f------ b----!" the cantankerous catwalker shrieked yesterday inside her Park Ave. penthouse apartment, accusing her maid, Ana Scolavino, of stealing a pair of $200 Chip & Pepper jeans, sources said.

  Raging, Campbell cracked the BlackBerry against her housekeeper's head at 8 a.m. - and then demanded her staff tell cops the 42-year-old maid had hurt herself falling, sources said.

  But the sinewy supermodel's servant alerted officials at Lenox Hill Hospital, and soon cops arrived at Campbell's $3.5 million apartment to haul her away.

  Campbell, 35, insisted she had no idea what cops were talking about and showed them a flip-phone, not the BlackBerry, as supposed proof, sources said.

  But the cops cuffed her - disappointing an Oprah Winfrey camera crew waiting to film her for a cooking segment.

  Ever the diva, Campbell hid the handcuffs under a white fur poncho. Sources said she also asked to ride in her own car to the police stationhouse and then paused as her minions begged cops to let them fix her bangs before she was escorted outside. The requests were denied.

  "\[She\] told her people to lie, to say the maid tripped and hit her head," a police source said. "Her staff is afraid of her - afraid she'll go off on them and they'll lose her paycheck."

  Campbell - who has a history of allegedly beating and head-butting her help - was questioned for hours at the Manhattan North Precinct stationhouse.

  Flanked by cops, she emerged at 4 p.m. in the same flowing poncho, black suede boots, dark sunglasses and baseball cap.

  The perp-walk-turned-runway-shoot was captured by more than 100 photographers who had gathered to see the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.

  A source said the BlackBerry used in the attack was encased in a Swarovski crystal holder that featured several baubles. The BlackBerry was not recovered.

  Campbell called the allegation that she attacked her housekeeper "completely untrue." "She is sadly mistaken if she thinks she can extract money from me by concocting lies by recycling old stories," the supermodel said in a statement. "I have asked my lawyer to look into filing both theft and extortion charges against her."

  Campbell said she had questioned the housekeeper about missing items and fired her "for that and her erratic behavior."

  Campbell was charged with assault and could face up to seven years in prison if convicted. During a brief court appearance last night, a judge denied the prosecution's request for $3,500 bail.

  Judge Richard Weinberg issued an order of protection against Campbell and released her on her own recognizance. He also allowed her to keep her passport so she could leave today on a scheduled charity trip to South Africa with Nelson Mandela.

  "Surrendering her passport would not only be unfair to her but unfair to the children of South Africa," her lawyer, David Breitbart, said.

  Scolavino, of Brooklyn, got four stitches to close a gash on her head. Meanwhile, Campbell's ex-assistant, Amie Castaldo, 33, scoffed at the model's denials - saying she was attacked by Campbell in 2004. "She abuses people," Castaldo said. "Somebody has to stop her."

  I am still a bit confused. If JW's are actually encouraged to read older publications won't they stumble on the outrageous old teachings that many of us have come to know and hate? It still doesn't make sense.

  "for moses said unto the fathers, "a prophet ( jesus - verse 20 ) shall the lord your god raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me, him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

  and it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

  " ( acts 3:22, 23 ).

  It is not about religion. The Bible is not about religion, but a relationship with the Maker by way of His Holy Divine Son.

  Interesting statement. I never thought about this way but perhaps you are on to something.

  We just talked and I think his biggest concern was finances. He's been in some trouble lately and he did not want to have to get a roomate.(Naturally, having a roomie makes it tough for us to be alone togethor) But we talked about it and came to a solution. I think things will be alright. I know to be careful Virgo. I would not be even considering such a decision without really thinking about it. But for now we are gonna wait

  Biting my tongue at last nights bookstudy

  2. bible

  so i went to last nights bookstudy which discusses 6 paragraphs of the daniel book so there was lots of room for comment.

  the study itself already was pretty frustrating it was taken from chapter 17 paragraphs 24-29 and it goes on about how the fds has to be lead by jehovah because of all the prophecies of daniel that fits them (1335 days was this convention to that etc etc).

  but the paragraphs also mention the failed prediction for 1925. here are some interresting quotes from the book: .

  Interesting topic. I have found that the more I read about the Bible the more is called to my attention. So many weird verses and peculiar stories about bible characters.
