  Crafts

  when i was growing up in the borg i didn't see much in the way of craftmaking except for a few who knew how to sew.

  no one that i knew at any of the halls i went to knitted or crocheted or tatted or did much in the needle arts other than sewing.

  i was introduced to knitting by a "worldly" woman who was my brother's nurse.. maybe this is just something i noticed and is limited to my borg experience.. josie.

  This isn't technically a "craft", but I have experienced alot of healing and self-esteem from learning flamenco dancing for the last 4 years.

  I think alot less JW's would need anti-depressants if they had some kind of hobby.

  It's too bad hobbies are frowned on in the truth......I was given alot of flak for learning flamenco - "Isn't that where you dance on tables?" ( NO.)

  "Isn't that like strip tease?" (NO.)

  "Don't you think you could better spend that time by going in service?" (NO, some people go to the gym. I flamenco.)

  I also work for a doctor and the majority of Witnesses who are patients are on AD's, it's true.

  I am the only female in my family NOT on anti-depressants, and the only one not active....

  People would ask me sometimes what my mother's health issues were and I would say, "Well, what was on Oprah this week???"

  "Playing Chess is evil, not for Witnesses" -Awake 1973

  by Witness 007 in

  awake 73 3/22 p.12 "....the spirit of competition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances, as the new york times reported: most families manage to keep the conflicts that arise in games to the chess board.

  but in some homes tensions linger long past checkmate.

  chess has been a game of war since it was originated 1,400 years ago....the games connections with war are obvious...a play-substitute for the art of war.

  Checkers is also bad. When you have to "king" someone, you are putting way too much emphasis on a mere person and not enough on God.

  I understand, because about a month ago I was shopping for a bureau at a furniture store. And a man fell over, had a heart attack and died. It was only me and the salesguy in the store at the time, so we called for an ambulance and tried to comfort him til they got there. He died anyways and I went home and cried for 2 days.
