  Okay so that is the fairy tale you take comfort in ...great !

  How about getting your mind around this little tid-bit .......Maybe just maybe when we die,we cease to exist . The energy that fueled our brains is used up . Our brain shuts down and turns off , then our body slowing starts to decay back into the elements the Earth can absorb. We cease to exist as the person we once were . Why is this so difficult for people to believe ? I mean where were you before you were born ? Do you have any memory of existing somewhere else ? Did you exisit ? NO. Then why is it so hard to comprehend that is what happens when we die ?

  I have always felt this way ....as a Witness I always thought yeah the resurrection would be really cool if it was true ,but I was also always taught if something sounds to good to be true ,Then it IS too good to be true !

  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 ?
