  i heard that when you make tea that you are not to squeeze the bag, is this true?

  what if it is herbal tea?

  why not squeeze your bag?

  Birthdays

  by Beans in

  2. beliefs

  now as we know the jehovahs witnesses don`t celebrate the "birthday"!

  now when a baby is born that is the birthday and if you bring a gift to the new baby, that is a birthday gift hence the birthday is celebrated.

  as we know the bible does not instruct that the birthday should not be celebrated so why not continue celebrating the birthday every year instead of the first one as the jehovahs witnesses do?.

  i'm currently separated from my wife.

  i told the elders that it ain't the truth and they told me to shape up or ship out (that's the very short version) my wife's loyal to the org.

  and i don't want to be an apostate in my own home.

  puffsrule post on women's place in the society prompted me to share this website with you.

  this group's name is fathers for life...and what a strange little club it is.. i hope i get this right...forever.freeshell.org/actions/jw200111.htm .

  maybe someone can make it clickable.. in this article they slam the october and november 2001 for being "too pro-woman," and go on to give many examples, including the one about battered wives.. .

  My story: pieces of me

  by Mimilly in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've lurked here for some time now, and posted a few times but wasn't going to do this until a couple other sweet members here suggested i do - so here it goes.

  to tell my story, i have to go back to the beginning.. when i was 3yrs old, i had a very loving older brother, craig, who was 5yrs old.

  while we were out playing on a montreal street one day, a streetcleaner with a hungover driver hooked my brother, dragged him several feet, and ran over him, in front of me.

  i am looking for a childhood friend of mine.

  he was, at the time, a jehovah's witness.
