  Birthday/baby shower?

  by DrunkWithLiberty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yesterday, my six year old figured out that a birthday is a celebration of your day of birth.

  i didn't realize she hadn't made that connection yet (she's a bit fuzzy headed sometimes, but cute as can be).

  then she states, "so when you get presents for a baby bfore it is born, that is the babies first birthday".

  ive been thinking a lot about this subjection thing that is so much a part of wt teaching.. i mean, what is the point of it?

  who does it benefit?.

  why cant couples work out a who does what pattern that suits themselves, why should they pay any heed to the wtbtss edicts about women being in subjection?.

  Was Our Faith Tested?

  by Big Jim in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been having long conversations with my brother in-law who is the only one that will talk to me about the non-truth.. he claims that my attacks on the society in reference to there false prophecy is nothing more then a test on our faith and that the fact that jw's are the only ones that don't teach the immortality of the soul makes them the only true relegion.. how would any of you respond to the the test of our faith response?

  Art School JWs?

  by Stephanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some years back i went to art school for a year, and life drawing was one of the subjects.

  although the prospect of perving on naked women was at first appealing, it soon became evident that sex-drive is a left-brain function while drawing is strictly right-brain.

  iow, drawing naked people was just plain hard work, and it was the only thing that was hard!

  The baptism is off.....

  by TheApostleAK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  told by the elders yesterday that since i'm a official at a sports match on saturdays and i won't quit doing it (they mention it occasionally to me at meetings), that they won't be allowing me to get baptised the next assembly coming up.

  it might matter if i was working 5 days a week but at the moment i'm only working 2 days......(i've already racked up 50 hours this month).

  i remember a talk a while back with the theme "what prevents you from getting baptised?

  2. friends

  as all true christians know, jehovah is a "god of love.

  " his boundless compassion for all mankind is reflected in the spiritual food which his faithful slave provides at the proper time.

  wise are those who take to heart the loving reminders contained in the february 15, 2001 watchtower!.
