regarding being in the house with someone of opposite sex...thats a conscience thing too, the individual decides yet many claim that if they were seen in the house with someone of opposite sex they could stumble people..i think its them who have the problem, how can someone think the worse and make an accusation!?!?!
they are the ones with the problem and should be counselled, not the ones together.
its up to the individuals, we shouldnt have to take on other people consciences and be worried what others say...jehovah sees all things and at the end of the day we stand before jah's throne on judgment day not sister or brother so and so.
Agree completely Dinah.
My suggestion to them is put some serious issues, like the possibility of you child being molested by that wonderful loving brother in the congregation in the lime light. Let's tackle some serious issues instead of little stuff... like not wearing a jean skirt to the KH or being alone with the opposite sex not to mention the latest no holding hands during prayer.
this is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.
i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.
he had been diagnosed earlier this year with myelodysplastic syndrome and the mortality rate of this disease is quite high.
Very sorry to hear

Hi AE,
A friend of mine and fellow JW had to move in with her sister and BIL for a few months and I kid you not she was not allowed to be alone at any time with the BIL. She spend hours at the coffee house or sitting in her car waiting for her sister to come home in order to go into the house. They were so worried what the B/S would think if they were alone. I thought that was really weird, I have no problem with my sister being alone with my husband nor do I care what others may think. To each their own I suppose.
i've been watching "modern family" and i love it!
anybody else catch it?.
Watched it and loved it as well.
I also like Community.
so my active jw wife is feeling under the weather tonight and told me she won't be attending the meeting, but she was on the fence becase they announced an important letter was being read tonight.
anyone heard anything?
maybe it's just a local thing, but i like to try and see what's coming around the corner.. .
I listened in and the one I heard was all about the H1N1 virus and to the proper ways of coughing into your arm or clothing. They even gave permission to stay home if we are sick.
I was one who never took jury duty serious, I would find any excuse in the book not to do it.
Not anymore!
My child was molested by a fellow JW and thankfully 12 people just like the rest of us agreed that the dirt-bag should be sent away for a very long time and for them I'm so grateful ... unlike John Doe, it should never be joked about like a flip of a coin because many victims leave their lives are in the hands of 12 individuals that take time out of their busy lives to give back, and that's exactly how I look upon jury duty now.
made you look, made you stare, made the barber cut your hair,.
cut it long, cut it chort, cut it with a knife and folk.. .
thats a silly saying we would say as kids...you would pretend someone had dropped something, when they looked you say that lol.
Cinderella dressed in yella,
Went downstairs to kiss a fella,
Made a mistake and kissed a snake.
How many doctors did it take
1, 2, 3, . . . .
i have a few which still either anger me, make me sad or just make me grateful that i am no longer one of them.
1 - "well, everyone is going to die anyway, so if it at armageddon then ce la vie" 2 - "the disater today at the world trade centre is sad, but exciting" 3 - (an elder) "when armageddon happens, i want to be at a window, watching it all".
sick, sick, sick!
My pioneer MIL told my husband how we need to get back to the meetings and we should be happy the the JW that molested our child didn't kill her. Yeah, sure made me want to march back to the KH....NOT!!
i'm curious how many of you gals get excited about tools?
i just love having the right tool for the job.
i got an excellent socket set and tool box full of stuff for xmas a couple of years ago, but i keep discovering cool stuff that i want.
Oh Beksbks,
I feel for you! I remember my husband and I deciding to put sprinklers in our backyard ourselves Yeah, after using a pick ax for hours in the California heat hitting rocks in flip flops ( not to bright) in order to make a trench to put the pips down... I was literately in tears by the end of the day
Sometimes it's just better to pay out the money.
and if so how was it handled?.
was it because of illness?.
or extreme case of nature calling?
Bookstudy conductors stomach started to rumble and I mean rumble his face started to show discomfort as he leans over to whisper in another brothers ear and off he runs to the bathroom. The look on his preteen daughters faces was priceless...They turned bright red and stuck their head in the book. Needless to say he waited for his family in the car.
Poor guy, I remember before that incident I thought what a handsome man with the perfect beautiful wife and lovely girls, after that all I could remember is that look on his face
