the question is: can jehovah's witnesses celebrate kwanzaa or festivus?
two completely fabricated holiday's created during the 20th century.
one is serious, the other a farce.. will you get in trouble at the hall for celebrating them?
OK, here is what I know. Knanzaa is not celebrated in Africa. It was developed by African-Americans in the US.
Festivus, is a joke! The first time that I heard about it was on an episode of "Seinfeld." George wanted to skip a day of work so he invented a holiday called Festivus.
ask yourself one thing, seriously.
would the person you are with die for you?
would you die for them?
In my opinion true love is when you can talk to someone that you are attracted to and after the conversation you think that 30 minutes have passed, but then you look at your watch and realize that 3 hours have passed.
off limits.
each jw culture had its variations, can you remember everything that was looked upon as being or representing, non wholesome activity?.
dangerous sports, competitive sports, welly boots, this, that and the other.... any continuation/s?.
Here in Texas brothers would often give talks wearing cowboy boots and it was fine. However, in Mexico I learned that it was considered to be wrong. I didn't know that God has one set of standards for one country and another for another country.
what's up with this guy??
he's hiding something i can feel it.. .
Hey it's Papa Smurf! He has his hands ties after a bondage session with Smurfette! I knew that Papa Smurf was kinky.
there are two things.
in the early and mid 80s there were witnesses saying that the cartoon characters the smurfs were not acceptable for witnesses.
i had two smurf cartoon books and my mother made me throw them away.
Wow! It is great to see everybody's stories. I remember something that Wickid said about not saying "Bless You" after you sneezed. I never understood why that was condemned. Even to this day I sometimes don't say "Bless You" after someone sneezes.

Hello queen. I am seeing a doctor too. Those year of being a JW have really left me screwed up. You can contact me at [email protected]. BYE.
...or someone else at a meeting or an assembly?.
for me it was when a brother while at the podium mentioned a party were there were no elders present and proceded to castigate the person who organized the party.
however, the person who organized the party was there and as the brother was going on that person got up and yelled at the brother telling him that he had no right to do that and then he stormed out of the kingdom hall.

This brother later left the organization. It was great to see someone stand up to an elder like that! Oh, and it was funny too.
I also remember someone telling about a woman who was getting baptized. When she came up after being submerged she sad, "Damn, this water is cold!" The brothers were surprised to say the least.
happy holidays everyone!
hope this season has been good for and to you!
some of us thought it might be fun to have a "get-together"...haha...before the end of the year got here.
Acually, I live in houston. Can I come?

I also remember a sister telling me, in all seriousness, about a woman who was attacks by Smurf dolls!!!! (Yeah right!) I was told that a Witness sister was in her home singing Kingdom Hymns when she saw these two Smurfs dolls that she had gotten for her daughter come out of her daughter's closet and they began hitting her. They then laughed and went back in the closet. At the time it scared me to death, but now I can't believe how grown people can believe in such stupidity.
The other silly story happened about three years ago when I was living in Mexico for awhile. I was talking to a brother in Spanish when he told me than I shouldn't use a certain word that I was repeating. The word was "ojala" which in Spanish means "I hope so." He proceded to tell me this long story that the Moors, who were Moslims for North Africa, had occupied Spain for nearly 800 years. The Moors spoke Arabic so several Spanish words that are spoken today are Arabic in origin. The Spanish word "ojala" came from the Arabic phrase "Oh Allah." Allah is, of course, what Moslims call God. He told that Allah was a false god so Witnesses should not say the word "ojala." Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!
