  Shunned by my SIL the B........

  shunning still hurts for me, i admit it.

  though i have no common ground with these people any longer, it is just the idea that i am treated as evil for nothing more than exiting the religion.

  i was in a chinese rest on wednesday.

  Little people always have to have somebody to look down on. That said, a good bi*ch-slapping would be very satisfying...

  what is the deal with this?

  it seems i hear more and more about some jw woman who is a massage therapist.

  i can't think of a more unseemly occupation for a jw woman that is legal.

  Considering that there's still a tendency among the general population to lump massage therapy in with prostitution, why in the world WOULDN'T a JW? And considering that perception and how it might make them look, why would they allow someone to get or give massage?

  Christmas...pagan? or non-pagan?

  i just read a thread where one of the posters was saying christmas is not pagan.

  from my research and what i remember reading up on it, it was taken from the pagans.. let me explain.

  first, i apologize because i researched this about 4 years ago and i don't have all of my research material at hand.

  I thought this was interesting: First, it was on the 25th day of the Hebrew month Kislev (corresponding to our December) that Antiochus chose to desecrate the Temple and establish worship of his god because it was already an existing heathen holiday. Therefore, l and 2 Maccabees go out of their way to stress the fact that it was exactly three years later, to the day, that the Temple was cleansed and rededicated (the 25th of Kislev). Now when the Church, long after the actual date of the incarnation had been lost in antiquity, chose the date to commemorate the incomparable occasion when deity dwelt within a human body, what better association than the Temple, where deity had also dwelt, and the 25th of Kislev, which was an already established date commemorating the cleansing and rededication of the Temple as a dwelling place for God? http://www.angelfire.com/mt/tabor/hanukkah.html http://www.macgregorministries.org/jehovahs_witnesses/christmas.html

  I've wondered the same thing, Carla, because JWs seem so prudishly consumed with how something might be perceived. A lot of people still equate therapeutic massage with massage parlors. I mean, if a man can't be alone in the house with his sister-in-law and has to hide (recent thread), what would they think of being naked under a sheet, alone, with touching? Oh, horrors! Not to mention energy work, which some people think is witchcraft.

  Artist: Rascal Flatts Song: My Wish Album: Me & My Gang Buy Rascal Flatts Sheet Music Buy Rascal Flatts CDs I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go, And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile, But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. I hope you never look back, but ya never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, And you always give more than you take. But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, This is my wish i hope you know somebody who loves you may all you dreams stay big

  Good ideas! I also like to say things like "that group's beliefs" or that "church's doctrine". Neither of those go over very well, either. I just wondered if they have anything official so that I can be sure NOT to use it. Sometimes hubby slips a little loaded language in, like "overcoming" my "objections". Then I try to get him to explain how a simple question is an objection and just WTF does he think he's overcoming.

  I'm serious. Is there an "official" name for it? It really irritates hubby when I call it Jehovah's Witnessism.

  Labeling us as a cult is the doctors perogative. It doesn't mean that he is correct, only that he has an opinion of us. He is not correct but none the less

  If it fits the definition of a cult, then it is a cult. That would be a fact, not an opinion. This writer clearly does not understand the difference between fact and opinion. Just another example of misusing words. I guess they have divine inspiration on the dictionary too.
