  illustration about obedience given by a brother at a new kingdom hall in new england:.

  '...do you realize that in the bible there are many instances of situations where jehovah's people were given directions that made no sense from a human standpoint and seemed totally illogical?

  Also, why can't I do seperate lines, even though I have done them in the post box?

  At the bottom of the post box, un-check the "HTML formatting" and check the "Automatic Cr/Lf instead.

  MY LETTER of disassociation from JWD

  by journey-on in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  decades ago, when my brother was a teenager and i a young 20 something year old full of the truth, he got disfellowshipped for inappropriate behavior with his 17-year old girlfriend.

  he cried.

  i remember it like it was yesterday.

  This is a very moving post. It certainly shows much sensitivity, not to mention great integrity.

  So, not that anybody cares

  Well, it is not worth much in the balance, but I do care. I hate to see posters leave with hurt feelings. Perhaps you only need a breather. Or yes, perhaps you need to leave if the JWD energy has become toxic for you.

  But whatever you choose, I wish you only the best~

  will the election of a black man as president of the us help to diminish racism or will it sharpen the divide?

  Dinner guest- When you bring wine shouldn't they offer you some?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've gone to many a witness dinner where i would bring one or two nice wines, hoping we would have some with dinner.

  {to numb the boring conversations} only, to find the couple say "thanks" put it in the cabnet....and serve up lemonade..... and it's not an alcohol thing....two different brothers brought out there own "home made" vino instead, which taste like a mixture of fruit punch and vineger!

  I would say it is only in good taste, and good manners, to serve the wine received as a gift. I know I do.

  The way I see it...if guests bring me a bottle of good wine, I want to share with them. And if they bring me a bottle of vinegar, well, I want to share as well

  this is a lighter topic.. how do you feel about your dogs on the bed?

  forbid it?.

  my boys are allowed on the bed all day but at night we say "down to the crate" the crate happens to be a very expensive leather couch with many pillows.. they listen to what ever we say, but the human bed seems to be the best place.. i change the sheets every other day.....can't stand the itchy, scrachties!.

  And yes, Oscar the weiner dog is allowed on the bed during the day and sleep with us at night:-)

  sitting at home on a friday night - browsing through all the jw groups on facebook and this catches my eye.... we help support our full-time ministry with this website.

  please have a look at the "watchtower" -style pins and pendants.

  with a link to this website http://jeffreydesign.com/index.php?main_page=index&cpath=7 aside from the fact that it really ain't pretty, how pukeworthy is this??

  Some would be willing to wear a watchtower symbol???
  
  I don't understand the reasoning behind this!!!
  
  And I was told to get rid of my wind chimes, and my lucky elephants collection, bla bla bla!!!
  
  No, I definitely don't understand. This religion or cult or whatever is getting so confusing. Not that I am trying hard to understand anymore, mind you~
