  I was born-in to da troof and was never baptized. Amazingly my Uber Dub mother never pushed me to, I guess under all that righteousness she could see I really wasn't into it, I guess.

  I find it funny that my UberDub mother bought some of her pics when I was kid in the 60's and hung them up in my room, and she didn't even know at the time that she was a JW.

  Her experience was in the one of the rags in the late 60's or early 70's

  After Six Months of Hiatus, I can tell you the Watchtower is Starting to Crumble Faster than you think!

  i took a hiatus from jwn because the wall started to collapse because i lost several people ive known almost my entire life.

  these were people i thought would never die, the lies told by the watchtower is unforgivable!

  there was a party i attended keeping a low profile while documenting what was said.

  Wannabee - If you bought it just a few months ago then Dell probably covers it for a year, but since it's not an internal problem with the tablet that may not be covered. Did you purchase any coverage from the store?

  THe usual bunch of pompous bastards, plus a sexual deviate, if the question in the Watchtower had to do with the sun and the moon, he would find a way to bring up something involving the male and female, be it love, romance or sex

  Your most memorable Kingdom Hall meeting disruptions!

  i remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.

  the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.

  they weren't just happened upon, though.

  That's funny Phizzy, but my fave is the kid that shouted out Happy Birthday to her dad while he was giving a talk! Sounds like he's the type that says don't do this from the platform but does what he wants at home.

  Why is it wrong for Christians to celebrate Christmas?

  by james_woods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was inspired by terry's thread.... it is something that raises many questions about the jw belief system.. .

  for one thing - the bible certainly explains all the details of the christ birth.

  it certainly does not tell people to avoid celebrating it with feasts, customs, etc.

  Does anyone else here remember the picture from one of the old publications of the Christmas tree in the Bethel Cafeteria with everyone gathered around?

  Seems like at one time there was some new light that made it okay for the Dubs to celebrate

  Any Veggie Juicers Here?

  i have been juicing off and on for a couple of years ever since i saw a the documentary, sick, fat, and nearly dead, and my health has taken a remarkable upswing.

  no doubt in my mind that drinking live celled water rich green veggie juice is one of the best things you can do for your health and longevity.

  time is sometimes a thing, and don't always have the time and patience to juice the veggies and clean up the juicer parts.

  I have a Vitamix and I love it, no pulp from a regular juicer like the Breville which I used to use.

  I mix wheatgrass, parsley, ginger with some cranberry juice, a little lemon or lime squeezed in

  Went to a non-Witness memorial service

  this was a service at a southern baptist church for the father of a teacher at my son's school.

  we had developed a friendship with her over the past few years, and i had met her father, knew about his terminal illness, and i wanted to pay my respects.. i have to tell you, it was a better show than the average jw "ceremony".first, lots of personal tributes about the man they were memorializing.

  uplifting stories, funny stories, serious stories, describing a real life individual that many in that room knew and were going to dearly miss.. lots of singing!
