Holidays

by LittleToe in

i was recently pmed about celebrating holidays, and thought it might be worthwhile posting a thread about it, even though it has been covered many times before.

the explanation i give below is a mini-refutation of the ills of enjoying such "decadence": please feel free to add comments, though if it must be an essay please keep it short enough to be readable without the need to go to the restroom for a bladder-bursting break!!!.

"there is no new thing under the sun" eccl.1:9.. if paganism can be called a distinct religion (given that it has as many amorphous guises as christian denominations), then it already did everything and tried everything, not really leaving an awful lot for any subsequent religion to uniquely call its own.

Christmas, birthdays, halloween, mother's day, father's day, valentine's day, easter - I say bring it on.

I celebrate them all, but 4 years after being df'd, I still feel weird when I'm celebrating.

Damn the WBTS.

UK & IRELAND MAP

by ballistic in

friends

i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

At long last Ballistic!!!!

Seriously though, thanks for putting us 'on the map'.

Just my story

by libidinousfaerie in

since i have been out, i am still amazed when i find someone who is no longer a jw.

the funny thing is, i am always amazed at how many people it is just a casual fact about their past that they don't think anything of.

the more and more i think about it, the more i realize that most people were just able to blow it off, and then there are a few of us who it actually left deep marks on us.

Welcome to the forum. Please remember you are among friends here. Most of us have had bad experiences and are currently being shunned. But trust me, you will come out the other side, and the wounds will heal, eventually.

Love Marie. XXX

Truth

by EternalLife in

if those people are of some positive energy, they will see the light.

that is their free will choice.

as part of our ministry to those that oppose the truth, we point out that a humble heart is the only thing that saves anyone.

Not another troll. This really is getting boring.

Go back to the Kingdom Hall platform where you belong and all the brain dead drones in the audience will lap up your drivel I'm sure.

What is your purpose here?

by The Scotsman in

friends

it is interesting to read the posts here.

people desperately trying to convince themselves that they were right to give up!.

is this your purpose in coming here????.

The point is, we're all very happy to be here.

More importantly, why the hell are you here?

A troll no doubt!

Curiosity dictates a question like this...

by Juniper in

have any of you out there ever taken the "opposite route" and studied paganism or wicca?.

i know of some that practice that.

but i've been thinking about what a strange irony that would be, right?

I haven't but I'm sure some have. Whatever floats your boat eh!

Veil Wearing Moslems v Cross Wearing Christians

by Clam in

things are getting nuttier here in the so called "united" kingdom.

we now have a female moslem classroom assistant who has been suspended from her place of work because she insists on wearing a veil in class.

bizarrely she works in a church of england school and at the interview wore no veil while being interveiwed by a man.

bubble

May I say that I would not be allowed to wear a cross around my neck for work. In fact I'm not allowed to wear any jewelry except for a watch, wedding band and stud earrings. It's not a problem for me or any of my colleagues because we understand that we look far more professional this way.

The woman who works for British Airways should GET A LIFE. Wear what you want out of work but do what your employers ask of you in their time - they are paying your wages after all.
