  Has anyone ever played with a ouija board?

  by delilah in

  this past weekend, we met a new couple in our campground, and the conversation soon came 'round to the supernatural.

  the lady said she has had quite a few supernatural experiences, and that she plays her own home-made version of the ouija board.

  my husband was all excited and begged her to play .

  A dear friend of mine got hooked on using one. She was obsessed with her...of course another JW gave her the Paradise book and that saved the day. But she had some weired stories from her experiences.

  i hate cars.

  they just cost money and eventually rust away.. however, given that it's pretty difficult to do anything without one in north america and that we now need another because angharad got a job (yay), does anyone have any good suggestions?.

  I've dated both races (black & white) and find it great. IMO the children have the best of both worlds. It's all in how you look at it. Look around you...young ones are dating outside their race and it seems to be the norm. We are all humans. Problems occur within our own races as well...

  MY OBSERVATIONS FROM THE MEMORIAL TONIGHT (just got home)

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, as per usual, the memorial talk bored the hell out of me, but i found it, in one way to be an improvement over last years when they had the most boring speaker on the planet there http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/111544/1.ashx this guy at least knew how to speak.

  unfortunately, he didn't have much of a script to work with.. there was the mention of adam sinning and mankind needing a redeemer etc., no mention of when the israelites left egypt though.

  that's probably the first year i've ever seen where this hasn't been mentioned.

  Didn't go this year but can relate to your feelings from last years attendance. I felt like an outsider. Everything was so robotic...the talks, the prayer the brother did while reading index cards. Did not seem heartfelt at all. This year, did not want to waste time. It's a big fashion show, with a lot of critics. I commend those that did go because they can inform those that did not attend.

  is it biblical?

  i was told that salvation was believing in christ, but shouldn't there be something else to do?

  thank you.

  If you had to, what religion would you choose to be?

  by Crumpet in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you can answer this as seriously (lt) or as inanely (buttlight) as you like!

  i was reflecting having read someone's thread about blowing off non jw family that actually it would have been so much better if i had a larger family, preferably not completely jw saturated and this random train of thought led me to thinking that if i could choose i would be catholic, because then i would have a huge family, go to really nice gothic churches with lots of candles and tortured saints and be able to go to confession (instead of lt's mobile).

  also the colours of the whore of babylon always were a lot more enticing to me than the mild blues and undistracting beiges of the khs.. i think we all have religions which would suit our personalities so much better.
