LOL, I actually remember hearing a similar story told by JW's that talked about a bird plucking out a dead worldly person's eye. Of course that story made the witnesses look good and they were all happy to clean up the bodies and pilliage the homes of the dead.

pppffffffft! This is such flimsy reasoning! A lot of things had "pagan origins" such as wedding rings, hearts, and our modern calendar is based on Pagan practices, astrology and mythology (just to name a few). Yet the dubs pick and choose which ones they'll allow.

I see..... so instead of printing two 32 page watchtowers per month, they now do one 32 page watchtower. Does anyone know if the "study edition" is also 32 pages?

Graduation and elders meeting!
by why??? inhi everyone, i'm not new here just haven't posted in a while.
for those who remember me i'm graduating from college on wednesday!!!!
i'm very happy but there's still a dark cloud (pardon the dramatic-ness) i am still with my non-jw boyfriend of almost three years and i've let my parents know that we want to get married (next month) and they went and told the elders(they did it kinda behind my back) who now want to meet and talk with me!

Congrats on your graduation and upcoming marriage! Can you just dodge the elders and maybe they will give up? You can also refuse to speak to them outright. I would be careful of faking repentance since that may give your parents false hope, and they'll end up hurt even more when it's taken away and you won't be able to fake it forever.

Mom is gone
by Katheryn ini'm not much of a poster here, but the passing of my mom on friday is as good a reason as any.. she was in deep, no doubt will be refered to as "faithful to the end" by those who eulogize her.
this new chapter in my life of course has me is a reflecive mood.
i'm sure when she was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago that her hope was that the "new system" would come before she succumbed.

If two thousand years from now...
by changeling ina particular group of people taught others that the world trade center was destroyed on sept. 11, 1981 (instead of 2001) how silly would that be?.
if people knew their history they would know that gw bush was president at the time of the attack (reagan was president in 81).
they would know that al qeada did not exist in 1981. they would know the first gulf war had not been fought yet, etc.... but what if they were not aware of these facts?

Two from Wikipedia that I like:
Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, friendship, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality and/or compatibility. A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul – which is thought to be the ultimate soulmate, the one and only other half of one's soul, for which all souls are driven to find and join. However, not everyone who uses these terms intends them to carry such mysticalconnotations.
One theory of soulmates, presented by Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium, is that that humans originally were combined of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spending their lives searching for the other half to complete them.
