  Question About Eyeglasses

  by Big Tex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife just spent $900 on 4 pair of eyeglasses.

  is it just me, or is that waaaaaay too much money?

  i don't wear glasses anymore (laser surgery), but isn't this too much?

  I Can't Do Any More - Can You?

  by Joe Grundy in

  when i first posted here, i explained that it was because although i am not, never have been, never will, be a jw, i have (earthly, as an atheist) loving concern for my jw neighbours/friends.. just recently, i found out that the mom is pregnant.

  she is not young, has a 6 year old, and a 2 year old who is like a firecracker!.

  i have offered to do basic things like take/collect the 6 year old to and from school, take the kids for walks on beach, etc.

  I can`t understand why you are you want to get so involved with this family, and it isn`t normal for a man your age to want to `take kids to school` etc. If you haven`t been a witness, why are you so bothered about the religion? I can understand people that have been involved wanting to help their own family`s of friends, but this seems abnormal to me, sorry.

  I don't find his interest "abnormal" in the least bit based on the info given. I, though, find your comments out of line and down right offensive. To question someone's motives who happens to be asking for help when you know little to nothing is over the line. I find that you have absolutely NO basis for your statements.

  Just because you can't understand something doesn't make it either "abnormal", wrong, or even questionable as to someone's motive as you have implied.

  Personally, I think you owe the poster an apology.

  Let cut JWs some slack on Christ's status. They might be right.

  by Spectrum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the alternative light i have received regarding early christianity has made me wonder whether jws have unwittingly got it right regarding the status of jesus.

  a lot of strong criticism is made on this forum about jws sidelining of jesus in preference for jehovah the jewish god.

  they have been equated with judaism because of their lack of inclusion of christ in their worship as well as their draconian code of expected conduct.

  These type of arguments are nothing but an endless circle. John 1:1 says "... an the Word (Jesus) was GOD." That's good enough for me. Human logic is unable... see there I go... never mind.

  I remember several years back I was in Wes-con-son at the EAA airshow and it was a whoppin' 85 degrees. You should have heard the local Wes-con-son-ites complaining of the extreme heat. What a bunch of wennies. When it cools off to 85 here in Texas we call that a cold front........ no, an artic cold front.

  Joel Osteen

  click here: joel osteen ministries: welcome to joel osteen ministries!

  i am suggesting this site to all here.

  you don't need to belong to his religion to benefit from his speeches.

  He is a charismatic speaker but most of his sermons provide only "milk" and not any real spiritual substance. I don't know how he plans on helping other Christians develop in their relationship with Christ. If this is not his motive, than what is? $$ (possibly)

  LovelyLil...... you are painting a picture with a very broad brush. Your statement asks me and others to believe that you have spent many hours listening to Osteen. I just don't believe that's the case considering your last statement. I am no Osteen fan. I couldn't tell you what he does or does not believe. I just don't believe that you know everything there is to know about the guy to make such a broad statement.

  Just another left wing kook with a blog. She's as extreme as the group she abhors. Considering the source, I stopped reading when she thought Bush bashing was an essential part of the topic at hand.

  Dark Chocolate recommendation

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i live in the us and would like to experiment tasting some dark chocolates.

  i've tried hershey's extra dark, 60%.

  it was ok. i think i would like something a little stronger and with a better "feel"...the hershey bar melted fine, but had a "waxy" feel/taste.. i'd even like to try a chocolate made outside the us, but would be concerned about shipping (i wouldn't want it to melt).

  I contacted my Elder father and mom...

  by White Waves in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after 8 mos of shunning acknowledged by familia and friends, i contacted my elder dad - mike, and he put my mommy on the phone for support - she was never the touchy feely type - more the depressed secluded type.

  i wanted to know if my dad had any reason why i shouldn't send my official da letter to 2 congregations and parishioners (since my first request was denied).

  he told me they then could have no contact with me, instead of limited contact.... i told them my jw family has had no contact with me since october and i did not even receive an invite to my baby sister's wedding in december- who i raised and cared for for 3 1/2 years while my mother was in a depression and had health problems.
