Now that's funny!!! "There will be a full costume drama set in the early days of christianity". Makes it sound like "Les Meserables"; Andrew Lloyd Weber doesn't need to worry about the competition.

Hi and welcome!!
I was a long-time luker and have finally started posting myself. My heart was beating really fast when I hit the "submit post" for the first time as well. I have a question for you--do you live at home? Are you married? Sharing some of your concerns with a loved one might reveal that they may think the same way you do.
As regards it being the "truth". My husband and I realized that truth does not change. It will always stand the test of time. We were created with a brain that should be used. A religion that encourages estrangement from relatives that don't have the same belief system is not natural---it's barbaric.
Wishing you all the best!!!

I remember this stupid rule!!! I don't think it was enforced by the papertowel police. Atleast, I never saw that it was. However---the papering of the mirror ticked me off so bad. My contact lens was killing me one time and I went to take it out and there was that stupid brown paper. I tore it down and just shook my head. Nobody said a word. This practice stopped (mid 80's?)

Pandora was blamed for opening the box that held all the earth's problems---I think it was her cat. I love cats and mine can open any cupboard, door, or any stupid box. I opened Pandora's box when I finally realized that I was following a religion that had man-made rules rather than God's.

Thanks Blondie!!
The words spoken by Jesus on The Sermon on the Mount are very beautiful. It's funny how a group of men can interpret these verses into a rule book on how to treat ones in the congregation. If only they would practice what was spoken Jesus----oh that's right there wouldn't be any fear or control.
Have a great weekend Blondie; I have really enjoyed comments.

Confusion about Bible reading
by faundy inthe society seems to make a huge thing about reading the bible daily, and yet they have a problem when people do so without the 'aids' - i.e the publications.
so is bible reading on its own frowned upon?
i never did it anyway, it was boring.

A couple of weeks ago my family and I were shopping and on a bench in front of a store was the Watctower Mag. On the cover was the title "Can you trust the Bible?"---or something to that effect. My son looked at it and said "I guess we can't, but be sure and read this magazine and it will tell you all you need". Out of the mouths of babes!! It made me chuckle.

Elders don't close their eyes when they pray
by outofthebox inwhen i was a hardcore jw, i closed my eyes and paid attention to the prayer, because i believed we were communicating with god.
what a privilege!
now, it has been some time since i closed my eyes when the jws pray.

I don't think there is a rule on this. (shocking I know) Our family just bowed our heads. I always got a little dizzy when I closed my eyes--I always was wearing high heels. Also, when my kids were smaller there was no way I could close my eyes; they would have run off or put something in their mouths!!!

Ugh! Horrible JW forward, only for the strong stomached
by metaspy ini just got this in my email from an elder's wife (she knows i am not going to meetings):.

Why would this sister send such an email to you? It is not encouraging in the least. I realize that there is another meaning here but REALLY. Most of us have given up many things for this organization willingly and recieved nothing. Oh--I have a strand of real pearls and they were from my hubby not God!!!

Breaking away--you said that perfectly. A strange thing happened about a month ago. A relative (elder) let it slip that he knew the names of the new releases from the convention. He said it was on the internet... The official JW site does not release this info out before the conventions begin. Makes me wonder what he is up to.
