  Would you do it for the sake of the kids?

  by pratt1 in

  i have a very close friend, who is still an active dub.

  we have known each other since we were kids and we have been able to maintain a strong friendship - we are actually more like brothers than friends.. we have reached a truce - i don't try to talk him out of being a dub and he doesn't try to talk me out of being an apostate.. we have both worked hard to honor this rule.. my problem is, i am the "godfather" of his son.

  meaning if something should happen to him and his wife, i would raise his son.. i have a very close relationship with the boy, he is 7 and smart as a whip.

  Most kids his ages would be crushed and devasted if their friend didnt go.

  They dont understand ''the principle of not going'', that doesnt mean squat to them! He's 7, NOT 14.

  I would ask him how he would feel if I did not go. If he even hints that he would be hurt, then I would go.

  He will see you not going as a personal rejection. Kids take their first talk very seriously. I honestly think he take it personally

  The one suggestion to just go to his talk, and then leave right after sends the message loud and clear that you went for the boy, and nothing else.

  ARE YOU PSYCHIC..........................AND WHAT DID YOU THINK AS A JW ?

  by vitty in

  1. jw

  i think all people can communicate at a higher level for eg how many can times do you and your partner think of the same thing at the same time?

  or you can be thinking of a person and they ring you?.

  but if you really feel that you are psychic or that you communicate with "dead people" how did you cope with it when you were a witness?.

  Sorry my reply was so vauge, I was pressed for time when typing it.

  I agree with Terry's above statement that often intuition is based on accumulated knowledge and of knowledge about loved ones, so that we can anticipate what they will say.

  I just think that there are parts of our brain that have not been developed, since we do not use 100% of our brains. Is that a correct assumption?

  And from that assumption, I think that there is quite possibly to posses certain new abilities...all I was saying is that perhaps a small percentage of the population , men and women, not just women, have those abilities, but are not taken seriously...because of all the fraudulent persons out there making money off of it. There are those that believe in those abilites.

  I am open-minded about it, I cannot say, '' No, there is no possible way that the human brain can be capable of having certain abilites that are deemed paranormal''.

  I think that there are people who do have a 6th sense about something...many people have that experience. Wether or not those are paranormal experiences is anyone's guess, I just think that it's part of our brains ability, and some people have it, and some dont...just my 2 cents.

  Name Things Witnesses Make Big Deals Over

  2. friends

  have you ever seen a witness get absolutely giddy over placing a measly tract with a neighbor and get up on the platform and tell the "experience" of how the neighbor actually said that he'd read it!

  big deal!!!.

  in our hall, they loved to applaud over the dumbest things!

  I would say,

  I think I would stay together with my fiance, and be there with them, and even help them try to acheive some nerve regeneration...I would not leave them simply because they were not able to have sex anymore...

  but just because a man is paralyzed doesnt mean he cannot be turned on, or even acheive an erection..here is some info that I found when I googled paraplegic sexuality.

  http://www.paralinks.net/paralinksarchives/gordon_sexualitysci.html - Gordon's story. (it is explicit) but a very interesting read.

  If "My Book Of Bible Stories" was a movie, what would it be rated?

  by gaiagirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  discussing movies at work this week, someone mentioned "sin city", a very violent film about honest cops, corrupt cops, and criminals.

  in this film, justice is administered harshly, and sometimes cruelly.

  however, the film also shows really evil people receiving "just desserts".
