ok, im putting my neck on the line here but ive always believed that children should be raised to make their own choice, if to serve jah or not.. i wasnt ever forced to believe in anything, any religion etc, although my background is very complicated.. anyway, hubby and i have always thought that how can a child decide if they dont know what other things are, ie birthday partys, halloween etc.
so, our children are allowed to choose if to go places etc.
last year our little boy said he didnt want to go to a halloween party, this year he said he might.
you do now outlaw :) actually most of the kids in our cong love it,guess its how much you make it enjoyable that counts, we have happy kids :)
Jwoods, i rarely answer you because i get lost with your comments, it seems that you are off on another topic...brainwashed ? Yer maybe if a brainwashed group that might be the case but im a JW, think you seen too many movies.....I make my statements as a jw, not something from a strange film you have seen.
the recent resurrected topic on franz' books got me curious.. how much did his writing contribute to your decision to leave?.
for myself, it was another brick in the wall but not more important than any other.
i was a little different than most in that i regularly read anti-witness stuff from the very beginning and never stopped.
cheers IA....
i've never smoked tobacco or a joint in my life!
i know some regular pot smokers and they're pretty cool people.
they typically say pot is better than alcohol and that it should be completely legal.
i know a sister who took it for pain relief, she was df'd, its addictive so i guess thats why its wrong.?

our son loves the ministry, im fortunate that they have the same love for Jah and ministry as hubby and I do. The truth is enjoyable and they enjoy it.
i finally saw that november 15th wt article on prayer that everyone has been talking about - the people in the photos look as stiff as corpses!.
people will be called in the back room for inadvertantly making contact with their spouse during prayer.. i think i will adopt the following stance during prayer now:.

whathappened, the hints dont annoy me as i never pick up on them

this was a question i can remember asking as a child.
i never got a satisfatory answer ( you think that might have set alarum bells ringing but there you are) the answer i got was " apostates belive werid things... they are out to destory your faith!
" which didn't seem to make too much sense.
you have had and did own one once...
anyway, thats the bible and if cannot fault it....

ynot goes to meetings....so nope not apostate, phillip skipper pj whatever he name,forgot lol, he baptised active so nope not apostate :)
I wouldnt ask about you at wimbledon as i dont want to hear negative things said of you,if that were the case, i feel its wrong for anyone to do that, if you were baptised and left or df (as you say) then thats between you and Jah....not my business.
