Share one or two interesting things about you we probably didn't know
by Gopher in
1. jw
2. friends
we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.

it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .

* i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.

let me begin by saying that i never expected to even talk about my situation let alone discuss it on the internet but i guess im just feeling so sad that i must hope that someone will understand and give me encouragement...so here it goes.. .

ironically, he sent my stepmother to the wedding.

my story is much like others.

i have found a faith to call my own, thankfully.

my parents don't agree with it, though they are very much still in my life, whether it's in my head or on the phone.

Whats the funniest thing you've ever seen happen in the KH?
by shell69 in
1. jw
2. experiences
i remember being a kid and we didnt have the fancy fabric seats, they were plastic stackable chairs all set out in the usual lines.. an elderly bro, rather rotund, farted, the noise so loud and thundering against the plastic seat!

or the time when i must have been about 7, my dad brought his bible study family to their first ever meeting, i had to sit on mums knee.

i recall giving the daughter of the new family a very vigorous v sign during the meeting.

If Your Spouse Told The Elders On U, Is That a Marital or Religious Problem
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
if a faithful devout jw saw her husband on a board like this or reading "apostate" literature, if she was so disturbed by her husband's actions and the husband justified himself, would you think that if she told the elders because she was truly concerned that her mate was going to leave "the truth" and ultimately not make it into the "new system", --------that this was simply a marital issue-----not a religious one?.

your opinions please..

Suicide the bible's view

how does the bible view suicide?.

a few acquaintances of mine in the "truth" committed suicide and when the memorial talks were given, they were handled very differently.

at one hall the brother (ms) who took his life....his life was celebrated....there was comfort for everyone.
