  What are your feelings about War?

  my dad brought out a good point today.

  he said how can for example, a catholic in one country go to war against a catholic in another country and both claim to have god on their side?

  for instance, the catholic priest on one side prays for that side, and the catholic priest on the other side prays for his side.

  Are you scared to watch the news?

  i'm a newbie as far as delving into information other than wt based, and have only just started posting on this board...so maybe the following thought will be old hat to some of you, not a concern or perhaps something you occasionally think about.

  but, are you scared to watch the news?

  purely for the fact of seeing things go on in the world that would prompt you to think about your jw upbringing?

  Sacramento...I have given homeless people drinks and food :) I've helped complete strangers quite alot. I donate to charity regularly and have already instilled that in my children, to help others. They are preschoolers and often go through their toys and say 'mummy can we give this to charity kids?'. Maybe I was an exception within the Jw's? I don't know. But I'd like to think that not all Jw's are heartless. My Grandma is a Catholic, yet at xmas time when she helps her church organise food hampers for members of the local community - I go and give a helping hand. To me, I see it as helping the community, as they don't concentrate on which faith a person belongs to, rather who needs the help.

  Majestic, I'd heard too somewhere that they didn't have to be annointed either. Was that an old thought? Or have the GB always been annointed only?

  I've never gambled at all. Not even a raffle ticket. One of these days I'll buy a lottery ticket I think.

  Thanks Jimmy :) That's the thing, I don't think I'm ready to read any literature yet :/ I think I'm ready to hear others opinions from this site and to leave the Wt behind...but feel trepidation at the thought of actively reading other material. Baby steps :)
