Am I the only one who noticed that under your "My Reply" you may have typed incorrectly?
people chose to celebrate his death on December 25.
I think you meant celebrate his birth on December 25.

Steven hasn't stuck to just Christian churches (thus the single quotes) - visited a Mosque, and others. He's limiting himself to doing this for only one year, so only 7 to go.

Some of you may be interested in Steve Fuller's blog. He's been visiting a different 'church' every week - he's on week #45. While a single visit give a very limited view, it is interesting to hear how services are conducted - so you know if you'd freak out before it even starts. The site is:

Did you ever see the "Big Cheese" episode of West Wing? CJ (IIRC) was presented with this scenario of changing the world maps to put, as one change, Australia on top by a group of cartographers. She disagreed with it. They asked why. Her reply? "Because it freaks me out."

Maybe it's my monitor, but the font for the LIST of thread titles appears blue. The actual cmments within the thread appear black. And the comments are easier to read than the title list. But then again, maybe we're just suppose to read ALL the threads and not bother filtering the titles.

I'm not a brit, but I agree with nelly136. I just looked at this thread and couldn't believe that it took until nelly before anyone picked up on that phrase. This sounds like abuse - but since it's difficult in this medium to read expression, and intents, I'm not stating outright that this may be the case. It is enough, though, that you might want to re-examine it. Definitely something to bring up early in counseling, whether with him or not.

What's with all the 'Imminent' nonsense?
by AK - Jeff incould it be that the proximity of 2014 is at the heart of it?.
i have no contact with jw's - except on this board - but my wife does at times with her family.
imminent is the cry of the sky for the jw's it seems.. i recall the years leading up to 1975 with a lot of that sort of thing.

highdose - Writing as a mother, I'm asking, please don't just hope your mom reads this. Send her a note/card! You don't have to go into details. I still have the card a daughter (adult) sent that said, basically, "Thank you for being there for me." I still get a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

by annalice inafter being gone from the jw's for many years now , and having done extensive research on the history of god and the belief in him , i can't seem to find any logical way to have a belief in an invisble being up there ruling over us.

This is interesting since so much that is 'taught' has been shown to be wrong and we are to watch for False Prophets. I'm assuming one who prophesizes is a prophet. This is a much wider brush than predicting when things will happen!
