I can't see why this thread is getting such a cool reception.
It's coz Satanus gave the audience a little something to chill them out

Are Fridges for Christians?
by Satanus indispite their popularity, christians should rethink their stand on fridges.
firstly, they used by jesus and first century christians.
neither did god's chosen people of old use them.

Are the number of non-JW related Topics increasing at JWD?
by nicolaou inon the typical page of 20 topics you'll most likely find that up to half of them are not related to the jw experience at all.
i think that percentage has grown over the past 7+ years that i've been here.
not sure what it means though .

We may not all talk about JW stuff, but we all have the dubs in common and I for one, value that. It gives us an understanding of each other that goes beyond strictly religious discussions.
I think that the fluff and banter develops relationships and when dub things do get the better of me, the support and love I get from the ones that I fluff and banter with means a huge amount.

Bump...
South Africa is certainly a challenging place to live, but Madiba did more than most to give us something to hope for and aspire to.

Just when you think you are getting better...
by Princess Daisy Boo ini have been thinking that i am over it - i am ok - i am not angry anymore, but after a conversation with one of my best friends today, well i am not sure.... my husband comes from an anglican/catholic background.
we, however, as a couple are not religious at all and have never tried to take our kids to church or sunday school etc.
i sometimes feel that we should be giving them some attempt at a christian education, but i cannot bring myself to go to a church.

My husband comes from an Anglican/Catholic background. We, however, as a couple are not religious at all and have never tried to take our kids to church or Sunday School etc. I sometimes feel that we should be giving them some attempt at a christian education, but I cannot bring myself to go to a church.
This forthcoming Sunday we are invited to a family christening in the catholic church. Nic and I have a prior commitment for lunch, but our babysitters for the day are going to the christening and therefore so are my kids. I have been preparing the kids for the experience - telling them where they are going and so on and my 5 year old proudly announces how he is so excited as he has never been to church - I am hoping that he doesn't announce this too loudly at the event! Anyway I digress...
My friend and I were chatting about Ewan's comment and whether or not we should be taking the kids to sunday school and she asked why I have this aversion to church. I started explaining things to her. I told her about going to meetings three times a week and going on FS and what the meetings were like and what my parents were like and so on. I tried to explain away my issues with "God" and why I dont even know whether I believe in Him. I told her that it is a mind control cult and it's members are brainwashed and she was shocked - she said she always figured they were a bit loony but she never realised just how so. She said that from what I had told her, I should have been seeing a shrink to deal with these issues. She said that she thought I should be working through these things and not burying them.
Suddenly I had a meltdown - I think she may be right. I feel like I am back to where I started. I am not over it.
