Not even say a "greeting" to them...
by integ inthe new co in the area referenced the above quote from the bible during one of his talks recently.
his point was that we need to get out in the ministry and not take a bunch of breaks in service and stuff.
he said that jesus told his followers that when he sent them out.

What they won't say to get you under their thumb! CO's are notorious for putting on the pressure. I'm sure the disciples never stopped to go fishing in the ministry either...they just quickly ran through the local MC Donald's and picked up a fish sandwich so they could eat on the run. Crazy man!

Oh my goodness, those are wonderful! There's nothing like a special picture with Santa! My favorite of our children are last years. It was their second Christmas and we had a magical evening before we saw Santa...he was an amazing Santa too!

I am done myself....but the hubby and one of the children still need to do some this weekend. Aggggggghhhhhhh. I hate crowds. It will be murder for traffic. All are wrapped except two which will require charging the batteries Christmas Eve. I had one to mail and got that off yesterday. It just seems like it came so fast this year.

I left a Jehovah's Witness in a quandry.
by orangefatcat ina couple of days ago i was coming home from church, in the afternoon, upon entering the building i saw one on of my neighbours sitting in the foyer, she also attends the same church as i do.
i felt as if someone was behind me and i looked up to see and i was right there was a person and she was a jehovah's witness.
she attended the same hall as i did but a different cong.

Yea! So glad you have conquered the fear! That really is the hardest part! It will get better the longer you are out for your spouse! I remember being so afraid to shop for birthday or holiday cards. I was so afraid of getting caught. If it's not the year for lights for the house yet...so be it! Wait and buy them on clearance...and maybe next year! We were so afraid of someone driving down our street and starting something! Eventually...we put up lights and a Santa flag! Freedom is sweet! Enjoy what you are comfortable with! Even if it means baby steps of a small tree in a room with no windows! Baby steps!

The HOUSEHOLDER......Did you ever hear a word they said?
by nomoreguilt inso, i was just reading over confession's post about the latest tract.
it was quite obvious that the dub didn't hear a word that was said about why they quit being a witness.
so, here's my question and a statement.

I took detailed notes of all my calls. But to really listen with my heart...there were 3 imparticular that I remember.
One I don't remember the conversation or any benefit other than he was baptist and we bantered scripture for scripture for an hour.
The second was a sweet sincere kind woman. She invited me in and said "I believe if you kill a person's spirit you are accountable". The magazines had something to do with murder evidently. But she got me thinking outside of the box.
The third, a man I was trying to place magazines with about not celebrating xmas said "If I choose to celebrate the birth of Lord, no matter if it is his true birth date or not, why shouldn't I?"
These stuck with me and helped me learn to reason. I remember the people and what their houses looked like and what they were doing when I called. I wish I could remember where they lived. God bless them. -

The greatest anniversary gift I ever received
by JW Walking Away injust a little note, my husband was never a jw or ever expressed any interest in becoming one.
he just quietly and patiently waited for me to come to my senses.. on thanksgiving my little family celebrated our first thanksgiving.this day also happened to be my 11th wedding anniversary.
i cooked a large dinner for my little family and made sure to have everyone's favorite foods on the table.

Scripture quotes on items not made by JW's is considered bad
by kitten whiskers inhave you ever noticed, or noticed it in yourself, that when you see a product with a scriptural quote, it was avoided, unless it was made by a jw company?
i remember my mom coming over and on a bag of potato chips, they quoted a scripture on the back of a bag.
she picked it up and said something to the effects of it being terrible.

I remember my mom coming over and on a bag of potato chips, they quoted a scripture on the back of a bag. She picked it up and said something to the effects of it being terrible. I remember hubby and I (we had already left the jws) being shocked. Telling her it was a scripture whether it was on a bag of chips or not. She just couldn't accept the scripture if it wasn't in a Watchtower publication. Crazy isn't it? I still find it hard to think about buying things with scripture on them. It's like it has a plague. You would never see them, well most of them, walking around with a scripture embroidered on something. Especially since you mostly find it in the King James Version! I was just sitting here tonight thinking how crazy it is. Watchtower really has it's own little trademark on God!
