What did you give up to become a witness?
by sleepy inwhat did you give up to become a witness?.
was it something you are still glad about or something you regret.. i'll start of with things i gave up.

Check out this JW site!
by dins inhi all,.
i was at my grandmother's yesterday and stumbled upon a diary with www.circuitleasing.com on her kitchen table.. seems like the society has their own leasing company now, selling co's cars and they regularly send my gran the information on how to buy since she bought one about 8 years ago from brooklyn.
they are plying her with calendars and key chains this year.. anyway, check the site out and make sure you register for your free keychain too while supplies last.. let me know what you think.. diana

Lee, Anyone Who Knows: Blood Card Update?
by Room 215 ingreetings all,.
i've been absent from the board sofr a few days and may have missed a post or two on this subject; the decision by brooklyn not to issue cards for 2002. as has been acknowledged, the pressure on the gb to liberalize on this issue is enormous, but but brooklyn's dlemma is how to finesse this so as not to precipitate an avalanche of law suits...to do it in the tinest, almost imperceptible increments.. so i ask lee elder or anyone else who may have a cluse as to what's up... is this decision significant?
is it a step in the wts dstancing itself from its current draconian and indefensble ``no blood'' policy?

Ta-da! We didn't get shunned.....this time
by Mulan inwe were in the liquor store yesterday, and a former jw friend of ours walked in.
he looked right at me, and i could tell he was going to shun me, but looked again, and i smiled at him, and said "hi b_ _ _" he returned a greeting, walked over to my husband, who was looking at some whisky and shook his hand, and they chatted for a bit.. so, we decided that it must be okay to talk to us, as long as we are in a liquor store.

Freewill - a paradox
by gravedancer ini have had a couple of discussions about freewill lately but it seems as if i am talking to a brick wall.
here is my basic reasoning, perhaps you can point out what i am missing.. lets outline the 2 common assumptions normally associated with the debate concerning adam, god and freewill:.
2. god gave adam freewill to obey him or not to.

Hello To All
by DakotaRed inas you can tell, i am another newbie, so i thought i would introduce myself.
i have been quietly reading the posts for some time now and thought it time to join in.. i am a 53 year old grandpa (neither daughter or their husbands are jw) married to jw woman with three kids, ages 15, 16, 17. therein lies the source of my discourgement and subsequent disassociation from the jws.
i outlined my involvement with the jws in my profile, if any are interested.
