"for the preaching of the cross is unto them that perish foolishness but unto us which are saved, it is the power of god.

" for that reason we say in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.. is melodically chanting that verse a form persecution?

(and yes i can carry a tune).

they seem to be rebelling by studying every aspect of the military behind their mother's back.

i tell them to keep their noses clean and become coasties if they must trod that path.

is this par for the course?.

be courageous, and blessed is he that cometh in the name of jah.

she didn't want us to go in the ugly vintage station wagon together so she carpooled with her friends, so i'm going dressed as one of the wurzels on a raleigh rally.

oo-arr oo-arr.. the org is robbing us of time together, so i have a right to crash the parties she goes to.. if anyone has any judgments, at least i came carbon neutral..

my stepsons, aged 12 and 13 are proud to be the first boys in their school with facial hair, and are choosing not to shave it "because it's my choice!

" much to their jw mother's chagrin.

i am so proud of them for standing up to their mother, but if they want to shave later on it's their choice.

Feel like starting a New Ministry! True Bible Students
by SonoftheTrinity in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i think studying the king james bible, and the jacobean flavored translations of the apocrypha and pseudipigrapha, whether you believe in them or not, is an essential part of being a culturally rooted english speaker.

i used to belong to an organization that advocated reading a chapter a day, but had no actual faith requirement to be a member.

20c a week and read the kjv a chapter a day, no lifestyle requirement, no doctrinal litmus test.

2. family
she told him to never watch that video again, which of course is going to make him even more curious about it, which is exactly what i wanted to happen.

i am giddier than a schoolgirl right now.

even the watchtower propaganda says to be careful and respectful with questioning teens and middle-schoolers in the congregation, and she comes up and does the opposite.
