  by thenoblelodge in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can anyone provide the date, page and para of the watchtowers where it says in the 'koolaid' version that the org is directed by god/holy spirit and the 'public' version where it states they are not.

  i know they are both reasonably recent, possibly 2009. i did have the information written down but, the muppet that i am, i tidied my desk and shredded some paper work and i must have shredded the piece of paper with the dates on.. i need them tonight for sil parents who are visiting........ i'm on a mission.. thanx..

  the local public grade schools in our town are doing away with halloween and christmas as a way to appease religions that don't celebrate them !

  now they will have fall changing of seasons celebration and winter celebration .

  instead of halloween costumes students are being asked to wear their school name t-shirts ......

  I think this will be a hard call for the Witnesses in our small town . I can see there being great pressure to not participate by the 'uber-dubs" and then..... those that can think a bit on their own seeing nothing wrong with it .

  I think this is becoming common in other areas of the country ,but this is small town USA heavy into tradition . Already people are refering to the JWs as the religion being offended ....however I know some of the other Christian churches in town are aganist Halloween celebrating . I am really surprised about Christmas though !

  Someone on facebook asked me if I thought any Witnesses would allow their children to participate if the celebration was no longer Halloween or Christmas .?

  I said 'NO' because they still want their kids to be separate ....What do you think ?

  We give out free samples of FUDGE everyday, and sample size cups of flavored coffee . THe fudge is made fresh in our store every Monday ,it really smells gooood in there on Mondays . During the holidays we have samples of dips and soups . Right now the featured fudge is Pumpkin made with pumpkin pie filling .....sounds weird but it very good . October is also fudge covered apple drizzeled with carmel month .

  You have to actually be in the store for your free sample though We do mail fudge for a price though
