  Do JWs eat shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, and mussels?

  by sacolton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll play devil's advocate.... true, the mosaic law code prohibited the eating of blood.

  but jesus fulfilled the law covenant thus wiping out all the laws previously set.

  but then later, (through god's spirit, of course wink wink) the abstaining of blood was again brought to followers of christ.

  Even in England where I can 'gaurantee' most people you meet are not carrying guns, the world is a scary place!

  The thought of everybody carrying one doesn't bear thinking about!

  well, i got a letter today from some jw relativesmy aunt and uncle.

  i must admit to feeling a mixture of conflicting emotions about it.

  on the one hand, i know they are genuine and good people and have always helped my family and been friends through good times and bad.

  JD... knowing what their mindset is and therefor how their thought process' work can't you think that actually this is their way of showing you that they really do care about you? Do they know another way to express love for you, that they feel is gonna help in the long run? Perhaps you could take the good from this and leave the bad?

  I agree with Challenging.... do whatever makes you feel better.

  With Love................Bbinkss

  i don't care about what you have to say

  by drew sagan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this little rant is pointed towards a particular somebody who has found it necessary to blanket all of the jwd users here with generic solicitations for their website and newsletter.

  usually i let this kind of stuff go but this particular individual imo is quite crass in their style and delivery in supposedly 'exposing' the watchtower.

  as such i want to state on the record that i don't care about what you have to say, your methods are stupid.

  Final prep for 'bible' study tonite, topics Michael = Jesus and Generation

  by insearchoftruth in

  please take a quick glance at the following as i am in final preparations for sitting in with my wife on her bs this evening...the sister is bringing along her husband, the po from the congregation to answer some of my questions.

  i know there will not be time to get to all of this, but is any of it extremely good or extremely worthless to ask.

  i need to remember to keep calm, respectful, and realize that i can not attack, there may be times when i need to ask for more time.

  hey, y'all,.

  there are three versions of the truth.. your version, my version, and the real truth somewhere in the middle.. why do some have to become so dogmatic?

  have they an ax to grind?

  she rattles off a huge list of wrong things, like dress better when going out {wear a jacket?

  } and be more ambitious like her since she would have been a millioniare if i wasn't holding her back?

  I hope you eventualy find the truely loving and supportive lady that you deserve, untill then watch your back and get some legal advise.

  What do you do if someone you care about dies...

  by LovesDubs in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ....and you and their family dont speak?

  do you go to the funeral and have to deal with the living in order to pay respects to the dead?

  my sister and i havent spoken to our father and his wife for a few years now because the intrusive, overbearing wife wont let our father speak to us, write to us or even have lunch with us...without her.

  If your sister wants to go to pay her respects and grieve then I think she should. As you said she can slip in at the back of the church and leave quietly at the end. If she has no wish to cause trouble or upset to the rest of the family then they should realise that the funeral is about him not family difficulties/drama and hopefully they will be mature enough not to cause a scene....... If the family are rude to your sister as long as she keeps her composure then they would only make asses of themselves!

  Condolences.... Bbinkss

  Bah Humbug?

  by gloobster in

  my parents more or less disassociated themselves from the borg when i was very young, and i kept going to the hall with my grandpa, an elder, until i was about 13 or so.

  however, although my parents did not profess to be jehovah's witnesses any longer, they also did no move on to anything else--they were terrified of what their relatives and the jw's might think, and i don't know if they knew how to move on anyway.

  anyway, i did not attempt to celebrate christmas until i was living on my own, i think when i was 21. .

  I have always celebrated Christmas ( never been a JW )..... But since my mid-teens the excitement of Christmas has faded for me and my family. We think this is because there are no children in the family. We just have a family day and keep the gifts to a reasonable level, it's a bit like a Sunday with extra fine food and gifts thrown in. Now should I ever have a baby it would be sooo different!

  For many people the fun of Christmas is mainly the preparation/build-up..... the day itself can be an anticlimax!
