1 timothy 5:23 go ahead and drink a little wine, for instance; it's good for your digestion, good medicine for what ails you.

the message bible.

i've recently begun drinking a little wine each night before i go to sleep.. the wine is a blueberry variety that i bought from a neighboring vineyard.. it has helped my stomach problems a lot.. syl.

lol back before I got pregnant I remember being able to finish a whole bottle with my husband. I should have know I was pregnant when I felt quisy with just one glass (I found out I was pregnant 15weeks along, freeking out thinking I got my baby drunk! doctor says baby is fine just don't over do it anymore). I now being 34 weeks along don't drink at all but I did drink a little little bet during christmas and new years... love the taste of wine. :)

Every time I visit the wine feastable that comes every year I get their desert wine... Pink Lady is my favorite!!

To bear arms…Luke 11:12

mess up I ment Luke 11:21-22

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace; 22 but when one stronger than he assails him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoil.

Is It okay for a Christian to join the military?

by AiAi in

i recently enlisted in the army as active duty, havnt left yet, and am wondering if it is concientiously okay to do this as a christian?

If you could ask one question to an active JW to get them to open their mind about their beliefs, what would it be?

by Franklin Massey in

jw
friends

this question was posed to me by a poster named ice cream.

i don't know my answer yet.

it's one of those, "if you could have just one wish.." kind of questions.

Butterflyleia85

wobble... yeah, that's kinda how it is for my family that are active and considered in good standing, but even the irregular ones have this thinking. They don't want to know, they just have their faith and belief (which is limited by JW control), and wish and pray for a miracle.

Doctrines don't hold them... fear does.

Birthdays: Anniversaries of baby showers?

by alamb in

jw
friends

well, aren't they?

my jw father is arguing with me about holidays and birthdays so i asked him what baby showers were and how they differed from birthdays?

if mother's day and father's day are wrong, how is a baby's day (shower) not idolatry too?.

Butterflyleia85

You can celebrate the birth of a baby but not the anniversary of

the birth of the baby.

Good point!!

Interesting thread alamb, thanks for the source!
