Come on over Barry, the more the merrier. It's cold here too today, lots of rain and snow on the high grounds, very unusual weather for SA. February is a good month. Nice hot weather and all the wine farms are open!

(no I don't have a crush on anyone!) So many of you feel like family to me. When I see topics started by some posters (too many to mention) I feel all warm and fuzzy inside like I'm receivng a special letter from a close friend. I hope one day we can meet cause I have so many hugs that I want to give.

As a man what role would I be allowed to have oh great one?
You could start with washing my car!! Clean the house, watch the kids and well other manly duties too.
What do think ladies? Could we get this started and turn our men into our servants?

Visit with JW family
by Brigid indear friends and fellow sojourners,.
i have not had much time to post here and i miss you all horribly.

(((((Bridgit)))) I know only too well how you are feeling. It's sad that faceless people on the internet feel more like family than your blood family does.

I've been studying with JW's for a few months..
by MichaelM ini've been studying with the jw's for a few months and i've attended a few meetings but things are feeling somewhat strange...i don't quite get the jist of things but i feel that i'm learning more of what the watchtower teachers and less of what the bible actually says.. i never open my bible.. i'm always reading the watchtower pamphlets.
i really like the people i've met in the congregation and the guy thats been doing the studies with me has been an awesome friend.. .
but i'm just having some issues.. i mean.. they translated their own bible to suit their own doctrines it seems.

Hi Michael.
I would like to know which bible translation you are reading. I find it helps to have a few translations, gives a good balance to what you are reading. The NWT is not very accurate.

good in jehovah's witnesses
by John Doe ini thought it might be nice to see some positive things mentioned about jw's.
now, i know mentioning these things may be hard given the experiences here, but i've yet to find a group of people who don't have something positive about them.
if there weren't something positive, no one would ever join.

The "Borg" is bad but yes, there are good souls among the masses of Dubs
I agree with that! I know my mom tries her best to live up to what she has been taught. She is one of the very few people I know that refuses to gossip about anyone. If someone strarts their sentence with "Have you heard about so and so" She just answers "No I haven't and I don't want to know either. Whatever they've done is between them and Jah and we should not be talking about it behind their backs." That usually stops the gossiper in their tracks! She is otherwise totaly misguided and her engergies totaly misplaced but I think the world would be a better place if we all stop gossiping.

Why do witnesses intentionally avoid having kids?
by NotaNess in1) don't want to deal with it at meetings is what i think would be on the top of the list.they see what others have to go through.. 2) i know a married couple jws, that are avoiding having kids, and i've heard of reasons from them like.... "don't want to raise them up in this system".
"time is too short".
"i'll wait until the next system of things".

I don't know if young JW still have that mind set. I wanted kids and told my hubby before we got married and thank goodness he aslo wanted children. Both my sister in laws also wanted children the one has two kiddies and the other has three. Some of my friends never had children but they didn't want any from teenage years their decision didn't have anything to do with the JW mind set. I know of a special pioneer who said she didn't want children in this system while she was single but changed her mind after she got married and had five children. She now no longer goes to the meetings! Too many kids to organise and get ready for weekly
punishmentmeetings. -
