for those still "in", how did this part go over in your congregation?

we actually had a brother raise his hand and comment that he could not explain to a doctor why we allow fractions and obey the command of levitucus to pour blood out on the ground.

i wonder how many others felt the same but did not have the never to comment openly?

Oh, and the opening song for the service meeting was "The Light gets Brighter".

Need some decorating advice

i have been in my townhouse for 3 1/2 years now and still no pictures on the wall.

i have a 10 x 14 living room small , beige walls and carpets living room furniture is new green sofa and loveseat wooden tables i can't seem to find the painting i would like over the sofa.

my living room and dining room adjoin and get little to no sunlight.

You mentioned the room not having much light. Maybe you could hang a mirror instead. Especially if it picks up the reflection form a window. A grouping of small mirrors is an intersting alternative also. Don't forget to add texture to the room for interest( wicker, wrought iron, fabric, etc.) Group decorative items in odd numbers. Repeat colors and textures at least three times around the room for continuity. Wish I could come help you, I love decorating!

sending your kids to public school furthers the mission of the UN

i was re-reading the un's universal declaration of human rightsfor another thread and came across this interesting tidbit:.

article 26.

(1) everyone has the right to education.

becca1

In my experience JW's use homeschooling to "protect" their children from the "world", Many of these parents have little education themselves and simply supply their children with textbooks and workbooks for them to teach themselves. They do nothing to further their children's skills or experiences (ex. trips to museums, library, etc.) They give no thought to rounding out the experience with regular exercise or sports. They give no thought to proper social skills. They aim is to grow another JW not to educate a child.

Would you want to know?

lets say there is chance you have an illness and you can take a few blood tests that will tell you if you do in fact have this illness, would you want to know ?

keep in mind that there is no treatment and nothing you can do to "make it better", what would you do?

would you like to know or would you rather not find out ?.

becca1

I would want to know. I'd want to have the chace to do things I'd been putting off and be with the people I love.

Any Info On Letter To Be Read This Week??

by owenfieldreams in

jw
friends

hi, everyone.

i'm hearing rumors that a letter is going to be read at this week's service meeting here in the us about kids and the internet.

let me guess--its another "the internet is evil" propaganda letter trying to steer everyone away from going online....

becca1

The letter seemed to have the intent to protect kids form predators. They did not mention any specific cites but I think they were refering to ones like "My Space". They mentioned the danger of giving out personal info like address, etc. They also mentioned the danger of posting pictures. All in all I felt it was sound information.
