If the bomb exploded 2 feet away from me, and I walked away unscathed, I might consider it. Otherwise, no.

Birthday celebration/participation

by Zana in

my wife is considering to let our kids participate, maybe even celebrate their own birthdays.

she says what can be so bad about just giving a little kid (who doesn't yet understand the bible) a day full of joy and happiness?

she herself actually delayed her own baptism as a teenager in order to celebrate one more birthday.

For the most part it's considered a no-no. Your wife will probably get a pass, however, given that you aren't a JW, and as the father, you should reasonably be given some say in whether or not your child celebrates his birthday. They can't do anything to you about it, can they?

I kind of like the third one: Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him.

That's talking about a threesome, right?

the other night, the elder was getting us ready for our convention.

as i sat there, i was thinking, 'do you even listen to yourself?

' everything thing he said, said its going to suck.. bring a hat: its going to be sunny, prepared to get sunburned.. bring plenty of water: its going to be hot and sweaty.. parking is going to be bad: prepare to walk a mile to the site.. bring a fm radio: its going to be echoy inside.. .

And every dub in attendance will talk afterwards about how great it was without being able to recite a single point that made it great, or in any way differen't than the countless that have come before it.

I can think of better things to do on a weekend than walk around a JW convention with a camera. This guy really needs to take up golf, or fishing.

Were you 100% in?

by pontoon in

i was baptized in 1968. last meeting 2010. i have to say i was never 100% in.

there were times i absolutely believed, but i never really gave it my all.

never liked service, assemblies, meetings.

Up until my early 20's I was. It all changed aroung the mid-90's. It wasn't a subtle or gradual change. I went from no doubts to serious doubts, almost overnight.

Archbishop Didn't Know Sex With Children Was a Crime

by Stealth in

wtf .

the st. louis archbishop embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal testified last month that he didnt know in the 1980s whether it was illegal for priests to have sex with children, according to a court deposition released monday.

archbishop robert carlson, who was chancellor of the archdiocese of minneapolis and st. paul at the time, was deposed as part of a lawsuit against the twin cities archdiocese and the diocese of winona, minnesota.

So I guess the notion that it was morally reprehensible was foreign to him as well.
