Cloth is good for burp clothes but disposables are the ONLY thing I would use for diapers. The smell and mess is so much easier to manage and diaper rash is not as bad.

Cloth Diapers
by reneeisorym inso .. my husband and i are going to start trying for kids next year.
we had a long discussion last night about disposable diapers vs. cloth diapers.
i know this decision can wait but i just like talking about my expectations early rather than end up with conflict later on.. i want to use cloth diapers and he thinks disposables are the way to go.

ATTN: Sign Language Jezebels! Get those hats back on! (BOE letter)
by BFD inonce again i have been selected as the "chosen channel" of commnuication by an paranoid elder apostate in waiting to spread this divinely inspired information: .
bfd.
a recent letter to all traveling overseers and bodies of elders in the u.s. contains an interesting "change in policy".

As far as sign language style used at the Khall, or anywhere else for that matter, it is supposed to be the kind the deaf person understands best. That is the professional way to interpret. I have to admit, the best sign language I have ever seen was on the ASL DVD's the society put out for the literature. It is amazingly professionally done.
BTW, translation is from one oral language to another written language or from one language on paper to another on paper. Person to person languag-ing is interpreting.

I want to live ...
by compound complex init's not so much that i wanted to die; i simply did not want to live.
the hope of living forever - while an impetus to my strained level of endurance of trials in "the present system of things" - frequently seemed insufficient to bolster my flagging spirit.
yet wasn't my own loving and generous earthly father, who never failed me in any respect, an example of what jehovah himself would do for me - even if i must wait a bit longer?.

Hmmm...maybe I answered wrong. Not sure what all of this means. Sorry, must be tired.

I wanted to live forever just not forever under the WTS eldership rule. I would rather be dead than live under their rules and under a vengeful god. Taliban forever, anyone? Didn't think so.

jw Massage therapist
by carla inwhat is the deal with this?
it seems i hear more and more about some jw woman who is a massage therapist.
i can't think of a more unseemly occupation for a jw woman that is legal.

Billzfan,
Yeah, why didn't the puritan elders have a field day with that one? Not sure. They are so anti-everything having to do with men and womyn mixing that this is weird. I meant trouble as in legal ethical trouble. I might see your point now.

billzfan,
You don't know why being a massage therapist for famous groups didn't get her into trouble? Because she was a PROFESSIONAL. She was DOING HER JOB. They didn't expect anything different.
Good question about how can such virginally/talibanically "clean" and "pure" people not get their knickers in a bind about this when they can't even ride in a car with each other. I think their illogical reasoning leaches into everything. Everyone likes a massage, so that could be why they don't bat an eyelash about it.

A married sister - posing as divorced on JW-Connect
by James_Slash infirstly, i will fill you in.. my friend's marriage split up in march.
both of them were raised as jw's, but i believe only my friend went to the meetings because his wife didn't want to go.. anyway, i believe that my friend started suffering with his health because he was taking on extra work to look after his wife and daughter to cover the debts that she had accumulated.
anyway, in march she left, claimed domestic violence and has left him in all sorts of debt (she had been running up credit card bills) .

What I did was research everything I could lay my hands on. I found out that there are only 3 reasons for separation but only one for divorce. But, here is the kicker: That one excuse for a divorce will give your friend freedom to remarry. The other 3 for separation are also good for divorce but your friend can't get remarried. I took all of my evidence to the elders and told them bluntly that I was getting a divorce but had absolutely no intention of remarrying. There was no punishment for me to get a divorce based on those 3 separation excuses as long as I didn't remarry.
So many times I've heard the mantra that you can only get divorced for adultry. That is simply not true. Just don't get remarried without it. That is how it really is.

Who is GUILTY for the JW's killed in the concentration camps?
by Metamorphosis inobviously the nazi's hold bloodguilt in part for the jw's who died in the concentration camps.. but unlike jews who could not change who they were, could not become un-jew and would have been killed anyways, jw's were often offered release if they renounced their faith as a jw.. since it is obviously a false teaching they were led to believe - that their eternal salvation rested on being & staying a jw - does the governing body (leadership) hold some bloodguilt, are they accountable in some way, for the atrocities that fell upon jw's?.
or is it merely a principle thing - that no matter what religion/belief was held, one should not be asked to give it up at the whim of a dictator?.
does the individual jw hold any fault based on whether they refused to sign over principle of freedom of belief or whether it was fear of losing their salvation by leaving a certain denomination?.

From what I know about it, if they renounced their faith, they would be seen as DF'd and dead twice over.
