Too funny. I wonder if that's a disfellowshipping offense: evil laughter? That would be an interesting public needs talk to hear! Would they test your laugh before you are allowed to be baptized?

If Jehovah Views JWs As His People Why Did He Entrust His Word To Others??
by minimus inwhy let the bible be assembled by catholics, jews and protestants???.
witnesses do not say god gave them the privilege of canonizing the scriptures or having anything to do with his word.
he entrusted the responsibilities to others that according to jw belief are deserving of destruction.....please explain..

Hey Minimus! I can't explain, but I can tell you it is one of the reasons that I left. God preserved the bible for centuries and only now does he reveal anything to just the JW's? I don't think so. There are so many truthful, honest loving people who are doing their best to serve God and love each other, they can't be evil!!! Many times I thought how much greater their faith and love was than mine. That bothered me, and intrigued me. My experiences in field service also plagued me. I had so MANY passionate and knowledgeable people at the door that I talked with, especially as a young pioneer. Those conversations struck a nerve and waited for years to be annalized (sp?) and appreciated. People I never talked to again, profoundly affected my life with their testimonies and personal thoughts, even the angry ones! Respectively, Kitten Whiskers

Just a couple thoughts on the subject: 1. It takes a little while to settle in and get the hang of marriage and all the new responsibilities. I personally feel a thankyou within 6-8 weeks is a great accomplishment after such a momentous life event. The sooner the better, but I believe Miss Manners or Dear Abby gives up to a year.(Way too long imo, I believe you should send them as soon as possible) 2. At such a young age, does she have the money for postage? I would be surprised if she had 20 dollars left at the end of the week. Food and Housing come first. Maybe she is mailing out a few each week? 3. You could send her some blank monogrammed stationary, new bride = new initials! Maybe tell her you thought she might like it to send out her thank-you cards or to announce the couples new address. Hope it helps. She might just not be thinking clearly yet! That new husband is probably occupying most of her thoughts and time! I remember my mil mentioning something to me. I always try to send a prompt thankyou! It had only been 2 weeks, we had gone on a small honeymoon and our basement of our new house had flooded!!!! Don't judge too harshly. Maybe just casual conversation on how things are going, how the new responsibilities and joys of marriage are. Casually mention how you remember how hard it was starting off, getting your household running and wrapping up the end of the wedding responsibilities with writing thank you notes, ordering wedding pictures, getting the dress cleaned/sold, etc.....Good Luck!

Please put your JW heads back on for a moment... (Memorial Meal)
by AlphaOmega insomething has been bugging me for ages about the non-participation of r&f jws in the memorial meal (sounds like a mcdonalds deal) !.
i've just worked out what it is.... only the "anointed" can partake of the emblems.. but at the original meal, as instituted by jesus, no one was anointed.
the anointing came at pentecost, after he had died !.

I am hearing (in my JW head): "Well, Jesus could read the heart and he knew what their heart condition was and that Jehovah would most assuredly appoint them. He said it was up to the Father where they would sit (When they were arguing over who was the greatest and the mother of "the sons of thunder" asked that her sons' be on his left and his right in his kingdom), but was probably given divine assurance and insight. Afterall, he sent Judas away first, knowing he wouldn't receive entrance into the kingdom, but these were his closest followers. Being King of God's Kingdom, and giving the illustrations of the sheep and goats and others that they wouldn't understand until the light got brighter, he no doubt was trying to explain to them the two different hopes and classes of his followers. But as God shed light on the scriptures, we know understand, thanks to Jehovah, that there would be a cutoff point of those being called to the heavenly hope." I am now going to post this, without reading it, hoping I was of help, but feeling as if I could puke now. God I hate that hat. Kitten Whiskers (takes off hat and goes in search of the Pepto Bismal)

Addams Family and other TV Shows
by jws ini recently picked up a copy of the original addams family tv show on dvd because i loved the movies, but never saw the original tv shows because my parents would not let me for jw reasons (presumably for demonism, witchcraft, etc.).
i'm about 12 episodes in and i don't know why this was banned.
ok, there's thing (a hand/arm), and a bear skin rug that growls.

Your Addams family ban may have based on the mother of Morticia Addams, she called her "Ma Maw". There were episodes where "Ma Maw" would use a crystal ball and conjour spirits. It is played on "TV Land" on Comcast during the day, I have been able to watch it lately and was surprised when I saw her saw that episode. I didn't remember it from my youth. The Munsters is also played on TVLand.
I was allowed to watch quite a bit as a youngster (mom jw, father not), Casper the friendly ghost cartoon, Twilight Zone, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Scooby Doo, I dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Disney movies that included spells, but NOT Fantasia or Bedknobs and Broomsticks (still haven't seen those), Three's Company.
