ozziepost:
Exactly which December Watchtower or Awake are you refering to?
I've read both Watchtowers and the Awake for December/07 and cannot find any article pertaining to the xmas celebration you show.
Seems that you just went to the WTS site and pulled up an old article ... right?
What hypocrites ... indeed!
i grew up as a jehovah's witness.
my mother was uneducated and so we moved every 2-4 years as she tried to find stable enough work to support a child so ive attended many kingdom halls and have known many witnesses and many elders.
i've never gone back to the witness organization and never will.
sweetstuff:
You replied to Junction-Guy's post that James may suffer fron Stockhom's Syndrome in this way ..
LMAO
I would be interested in hearing from you as to why this is so funny.
to the person who was my exfiance expressing my sympathy for his loss.
asked the hubby what he thought of me doing that and he thought it was a nice thing to do.
josie.
Depends what your motive is. A sincere note of condolence is always in order.
i met a witness in town that i know and she actually thought it was the law ie the police that cant do anything about child abuse unless there are 2 or 3 witnesses, how disturbing she is over 50 years old and that naive.
clipsee, do you really recommend hitting people? In some parts of the world the person hit may turn around and beat the c**p out of you ;) Or they may rightfully call the police and have you jailed for assault. Which is your pleasure????
not that i want to or anything, but this therapist guy seems to think that it would be really helpful to my wife.
he says to pull out the good and ignore what you dont like, and that supporting my wife a bit in this way could be good for us as a couple.
it could also let us have at least some shot at keeping the old social life alive.
oompa .. lots of inactive ones attend some meetings. If it makes a peaceful household .. why not?
supposing local elders were to approach me with a view to a 'judicial committee' and subsequent disfellowshipping.
law # 1 i believe everything the 'society' says.. law # 2 i also believe everything the 'society' has ever said in the past even when it contradicts law # 1.. law # 3 i also believe everything the 'society' will ever say in the future even when it contradicts law # 1 and law # 2. law # 0 (zeroth law) i believe law # 1, 2 and 3 all at the same time.. please don't disfellowship me.. .
if you carry out this action i will take it upon myself to make the local jw's life uncomfortable.
Thomas ... a sure thing that if you follow through with this sort of plan ...
You are the one who'd look like the local ninny.
Your neighbors are familiar with JW beliefs .. or at least know who they are.
This tactic makes you look like a disgruntled ex ... someone most people avoid.
To top it all off, most people don't read flyers. They deposit them right in the garbage.
if you are a jehovah's witness please understand that i am not against you as an individual.
i am not an apostate from the watchtower organization and, of course, i was never baptized as a jehovah's witness.
however, when i was 17, i studied with the jehovah's witnesses for a couple of months, but quit.
For someone who studied for a few months when he was 17 years old, just think how much smarter you'd be now if you kept studying ;)
my name is scott fitzgerald and i am a student at the university of phoenix.
i chose asynchronous learning because i hold down a full-time job, but i am trying to better my life by finally pursuing a degree as a health administrator and eventually a radiologic technician; i am 45 years old.
better late than never.
Scotty ... it may be helpful to you to go to www.watchtower.org
