My father was not yet duped by da troof when I was growing up, but whenever we did go on a summer vacation my mother always managed to find a KH to attend in most of the places we visited, what a buzzkill. She always said "wherever you go can always find Jehovah's people and hear the same exact thing we would be hearing at home" . . . .ugh, sickening just to remember that.

Did You Enjoy Your "Vacations " As a JW?
by minimus inwe went on "vacation " every year because we were jehovah's witnesses!
we were so fortunate to stay in a cheap hotel more often than not so that we could enjoy a witness convention.. we never enjoyed a real vacation though until many years later and the funny thing is---so many jws thought it was so materialistic because we went on more than one "vacation " per year..

Cart Witnessing in Giethoorn, Netherlands (My recent experience)
by Alfred inso i visited the netherlands last week and decided to stop by giethoorn.
this is a town whereby many (if not most) of the homes are accessed by small boats via narrow water canals.
during the summer months, the residents of this isolated picturesque town welcome visitors with their seasonal tourist attractions such as canal cruises on eco-friendly boats, restaurants and a small museum which highlights the history of the town.

Maybe a strong wind will come by and blow the cart into that pond
I see the witnessing work is worldwide as well as the Dubs lazy attitude toward spreading the good news

Joel Osteen's Church is a Cult too ??
by ShirleyW init's being said all over social media that joel osteen hasn't opened his mega church for refuge during the storm, pictures are showing this area is not flooded.
i made a few comments myself saying that the jws only help their own in time of need but this god fearing man isn't helping anyone.. just what religion is he and his followers, i guess it's one of those non-denomination churches that collect a shitload of bucks to him and wife so he can afford the glamorous life, nothing new of course, i thought he was just a bit different than the others, fooled me..

Relaxed rules toward oral sex?
by Socrateswannabe inthese people won't state anything definitively, but here's an excerpt from the study article entitled "making christian marriage a success", in the august, 2016 watchtower.
it does make me wonder.. although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural, sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.
(song of solomon 1:2; 2:6) christian marriage partners should treat each other with tenderness.

I can't imagine being married for years and fighting the desire to do it...
I think you can only fight that urge for so long, I bet not to many are actually abstaining from it

Sounds like you at bethel back when a family friend was there, did you know Thomas (Tom) Miles from Philly? I remember someone else saying he was total company boy, pompous prick. Did you have the good fortune to run into him while you were there?

Dental Implants and Positives/Negatives from Anyone?
by LV101 ini'm sure there's residents onboard here that aren't afraid of them (like i am!
) and the megadoses of antibiotics taken after the minor surgery.
seems the meds need to be taken since a foreign object has been inserted into the bone (titanium) which the body accepts (really?

since a foreign object has been inserted into the bone (titanium)
that should be enough to make you think long and hard about dental implants, my opinion of course, but down the road some folks have had serious major problems with them, inserting "foreign object in the gum line" just doesn't seem like the right cure to me. My goodness, I just had braces when I was a young teen, now in my 50's the Dentist says I have week bone structure because of them and btw I've heard that more than once and that's just from something attached to the outer tooth. So I can just imagine what happens to some people who have a foreign object embedded deep down into the gum line.
