  JUSTICE #2 - Making Mole Hills into Mountains

  by Amazing in

  2. friends

  making mole hills into mountains .

  we had a wonderful and most exemplary family in our congregation.

  they are hard workers, hospitable, caring, generous, suffer with you through hardship, kind, compassionate, and as loyal to the organization as any family could be.

  Children should feel free to.....

  by biblexaminer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have one question to ask my local jw's, be they on the body, or be they higher up in the heirarchy.. it is this... .

  watchtower literature tells me over and over again, that as a parent, i have to make my children feel that they can "freely speak" about whatever is troubling them.

  the question is, at what age i should make them stop feeling this way, and help them to see the need to shut up, sit down, and quit rocking the boat.

  its been getting pretty lively on this board of late.

  at the moment there is a great diversity of opinion as to how anti-social behaviour should be handled.

  'course, its easy when someone like yk posts his umpteenth attack on the exs.

  Question for any elder/recent ex-elder

  by OrangeBlossom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the elders keep dropping by every couple of saturday's after bookstudy to check on us and try to encourage us back to meetings.

  it has worked out that my husband has been gone when they visit so they keep coming back hoping to catch him sometime.

  anyway, i told my hubby that we should at least go to the meetings once a week to keep them off our trail, which i went this past thursday night and wouldn't you know it the one elder approached me and mentioned that they still want to sit down with us and go over an article on meeting attendance.

  Why do they have clothes on?

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a thought.... in most of the publications that have pictures of people in the new order / new system / paradise earth - why do they have clothes on?

  not only that, but they usually wear their national costumes !.

  i guess the practical reason is that if everyone was naked then the watchtower would be classed as soft-porn and could only be sold from top shelves.... anyone have any thoughts on this?
