  JW's Celebrating De Facto Thanksgiving

  by TMS in

  perhaps one of the most innocuous of the "pagan" holidays witnesses are taught to avoid is the american holiday .

  of thanksgiving.

  without going into the thanksgiving story, if there is one, be assured that jw children steadfastly.

  We did it every year. Not to defend the org, but keep in mind that the US version of "thanksgiving" is not rooted in a "pagan" custom or religion, like so many of the other secular holidays are. It has it's roots in very early american judeo-christian history. This was the main rationalization that I think my family and others in the area had, as opposed to the shop-worn "well, turkey is cheap this time of year" old saw....

  As long as the hardliners, led primarily by Ted Jaracz, continue to have a chokehold on this organization, college and/or any secondary education will continue to be frowned upon at the least and downright forbidden at the worst by most in positions of leadership in the organization. Lloyd Barry, when he was alive, tried to moderate the society's position on college, but my understanding is that when he died that effort died with him.

  what political flavor are you?

  are you secure in your politics?

  do you feel a need to bash your opposing ideologies?

  What was it Will Rogers said, "I'm not a member of any organized political party, I am a democrat."

  That kind of sums up my feelings on the matter. I dont belong to any political party, but I DO consider myself to be very conservative in my outlook of the world.

  when i lived in windsor, ont i used to get 97.1 fm talk...which had the tom lykus show....topless/flash fridays when ladies would flash other drivers....anyhow he loved to debate on christian topics....once though he reduced a poor lady in a bad relationship to tears by ranting bout her 'pathetic disaster of a marriage'......another time he went on about how women having babies was no more a miracle of life than taking a dump, both biological functions that happen millions of times all the time ...... and expunged on that for a loooong time.

  well i for one miss that kind of radio when im in my car not listening to tunes..theres nothing like that in ontairo....even if i dont agree with all he says...

  He used to come on at night about 8-9 years ago down here in Dixie, but his show was taken off the air and another conservative was put on, can't remember for sure but think it was Michael Reagan. As a conservative myself, believe it or not I actually liked listening to the guy--he was entertaining--I guess kinda like alot of liberals that I know like listening to Limbaugh. Air America should have put him in their lineup and then maybe they would not have gone belly up.

  Why did those 'paid off' by the WTS sign a deal to remain silent?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  knowing that this silencing of victims is one of the wts's main weapons of defence, why did the victims agree to remain silent?

  is this not selling your soul to the wts?

  If I had to guess, they only signed saying that they would keep the amount of the settlement confidential. This is common and is supposed to protect the defendant from copycat lawsuits.

  Pet Semetary was one of the scariest movies that I ever saw. It was one of his few novels that were made into a very successful movie, in my opinion.
