  Did You Dedicate Your Life to Serving Jehovah?

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember at the age of 14, i was studying with a very well respected elder in the congregation.

  me, him, and my dad studied together.

  every once in a while during the study, he would turn to me and ask me "have you dedicated your life to jehovah?".

  sure did....you have to understand..I had to BEG to get the honor of going out in service. I was a true believer so I prayed....it was pretty emotional for me.

  I have to tell you, I remember my baptism in slow motion....the way the water felt as I went down and how it rolled of my body as I came up. It was a wonderful feeling.That day meant a lot to me.

  It still does...sure I am gone, but I do feel good about the fact that it was something I was sincere about, that I was not forced into getting baptized to please parents or others. I did have a free choice, not like a lot of former JWs did...that is a shame. So I never have to have to wonder about why I left...I know some that I have left because they felt like they were oppressed and some just out of rebelling against it just to rebell against their parents.

  by the way...the towel I bought for baptism is now cut up and used to wash the floor and polish furniture....I into the whole reduce, reuse, recycle thing.

  Opinions Please....Engagement Timing

  by Stacy Smith in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i've been seeing a very nice guy for two months now, every day, almost every minute.

  as you know it can become very obvious when a guy is about to pop the question.. i have been very honest with him about when i'd be willing to marry, which is to say not until i graduate from college which is still a 1 1/2 years away, of course i hear things like "well a couple can wait but be commited right"?.

  anyway i've bounced this off of my friends and have several opinions already but i thought i'd ask it here.. how long would you date someone before you considered accepting an engagement ring?

  It is different for every couple. I dont see why getting married before you graduate would HAVE to stop your education unless you let it...unless we are talking about getting student grants and stuff...and can see how that could screw things up.

  I met my husband in person about 4 or 5 months after I ended up on his email joke list. (long story....) We met in person in October, he asked me to marry him in November...and we were the following February. It will be 5 years this coming February.

  Things have worked out fine with us..but we are both strange people. Sometimes it works for strange people. If I were talking to my sister I would say wait until you graduate...just because I am objective only with things that have nothing to do with my situation hahah!

  I am all for marriage if you are in sync and love and like your partner. But you should wait and do what feels right. If for some reason you think marriage will distract you from your education, and he is willing to wait, then wait until you graduate.

  As far as not having kids, you can rent mine any time you want.

  is the scripture found at jeremiah 10:3 talking about a chrismtas tree?

  jeremiah 10:3-5 - "for the customs of the peoples are false.

  a tree from the forest is cut down, and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.

  yes it cannot be a CHRISTMAS tree...but the christmas tree has nothing to do with jesus. Another fun thing borrowed from pagans to liven up Christianity.

  Isnt it a german thing with immortality or something...I dont it was soooo long ago since I learned that. Probably well after Jeremiah;s time but you never know. I cannot find my timeline hahah.

  That teacher should not be teaching at the lower grades...what a boob. How about a good smack in the back of the head.

  Even when I was a witness, I made my son swear to me that he would never say that santa claus was not real to other kids in his class. He did not have to lie, if he ever asked if he believed he just said since he did not celebrate christmas it did not matter.

  Thats just wrong. It has nothing to do with education...let the kids believe the fairytales.

  I am a HUGE abfab fan!! but where is mention of Saunders&French's other ones....Murder Most Horrid and Victor of Dibly?

  I just adore Dawn French....she is my hero! And Jennifer Saunders is the bomb too. I dont think there is any american comedy that can beat those three shows...and I love a lot of american comedies.

  The father Ted one....I dont think that is the name of the show, but there is a show about a priest and there is a father ted living at the house.

  I have seen most of the real ones on the list...they are great...too bad Brits suffer from a short attention span and cannot make more than 10 episodes of ANYTHING except Dr Who (which I love too)

  FAT PEOPLE = BAD ASSOCIATION

  i carry a few extra pounds but i generally don't overeat.

  however, i enjoy a good meal.

  but, the organization that says, "let us not judge others" is giving it's members free reign to judge those who are overweight (in the judger's eyes).
