something like: "would jesus do that/go there?

" i tell them: "would he own a luxurious bmw or mercendes?".

Irregular publisher. Sounds like they need Activia.

We are in a spiritual paradise. (gag)

I'm glad my children don't have to grow up being afraid of cupcakes

by Ilovebirthdays in

yesterday, i brought a batch of cupcakes to my son's school.

in passing them out, i started to give one to one of the children, who was a jw.

he immediately started freaking out and screaming "no thank you" over and over.

Pandoras cat11

You are the cool mom that brought cupcakes!!! Good for you!! I was shy as well and was mortified when celebrations came around. Can't add anything new to that. Again, you get kudos for volunteering and being part of your son's school and a double thumbs up for making a kid smile.

My Daughter Just Graduated From College!

by GoingGoingGone in

she was about 13 or 14 when i first started having serious doubts about the wts.

when i informed her of my doubts a couple years later, she took the information and ran with it.... she never looked back.

i told her she could be whatever she wanted to be if she only worked hard enough.

Pandoras cat11

I am so happy for you and for her!! Isn't funny how relatives get bragging rites when something like this happens? My son is leaving the nest too for a very notable college. Congrats!!!!! (Don't you wish we could do it all over again for us?)

Why are they so anal about assembly badges?

by highdose in

they insist you must wear you and whats more it must be placed in clear view for everyone else to see.. i have been challenged before now " sister!

are you wearing your badge!?

" it made me wonder why?

Pandoras cat11

Me and the hubby always wore the badges as well. It always made holes in my clothes!!! I am sure the badge holders have come a long way now. When my children were born the stinking badges came off----mothers can relate to this----your kids when they are on your lap grab at them or even poke themselves with the edge of holder. If the pin came unhooked your boob would get stuck!! OUCH. Good times.

Random K.Hall memories

at the hall i attended in the mid to late 70's the presiding overseer in our cong.

was a real hard nosed little man with control issues.

(the elders were reffered to as the gestapo crew.

Funny stuff!!. My mom told me there was a time when you had to turn in your written review and it was graded. What is up with that? I did like the scripture match up as a kid. It reminded me more of a game. I would glance over at my parents answers and they were star pupils!! Bathroom breaks were a big no-no in my family, you had better have the runs or you were in trouble. My dad's reasoning was that if we could sit through a T.V. show without getting up and going to the bathroom then we could surely sit through the meeting.

JW responses on Facebook rules from CO

i know there has been threads on jw's using facebook, i thought i would post some responses from jw community i got in an email.. .

this was presented for discussion.. .

a co in our area (rochester) said that there would be no one being.

Hello Purplesofa!! Haven't posted in a long time. Had to chime in on this thread. Facebook is the best thing that could have happenned to this cult. Recently I did my own "finding friends" on Facebook. What and eye-opener. I have found so many Jw's that are supposed to be "in" but are friends with ones who are either disfellowshipped or on fading terms. Most are clubbling and are posting pics that are not JW approved. In other words---they are having a fun time. Hmmmm, it seems being a witness in name only is very easy now. How times have changed. There is a very gaggy site that is called "Examining the Scriptures Daily". Who are they trying to kid? Saw several names on that site that are really working the system. So, I feel that the big boys in NY will never stop the Witnesses from being on Facebook. ( Check out Jehovahs Witnesses on Facebook) This is from my hometown--many are leaving!!!
