dear all,.

in the four weeks or so since i started visiting this forum, the overwhelming amount of information my brain has had to process thanks to your fascinating contributions has been highly stimulating and thought-provoking.

but it has also made me painfully aware of two facts:.

Funny English
by goldensky in
1. jw

although we live in spain, i've always spoken exclusively english to my two children since there were born (a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year old girl).

since i am their only "source" of english, their level leaves a lot to be desired, although they can have conversations with english speakers without any trouble.

also the fact that many words have exactly the same pronunciation but a different spelling and meaning doesn't help much.. when my son was 3 or 4 i told him that hitler didn't like jews at all.

Obama care: Will it cover the JW's at Bethel?
by dissed in
1. jw
2. friends
this is not a political thread.. my question has to do with the possible usa government mandate of employers covering its workers with healthcare.

if it becomes law, then all bethel workers must have health insurance.. so who pays for it?.

can the bethelites claim poverty and the us covers them or would the us claim that the wts is the employer and they must pay for the insurance?.

MY FIRST DOUBT
by goldensky in
1. jw
2. friends
dear all,.

i posted my first thread a few days ago and some of you asked me questions i'm more than willing to answer.

but there is so much i want to say to you there's no way i can convey all the information at one sitting, so i've decided to tackle one subject at a time, both for the sake of not boring you and because i'd love to know how you feel about each individual topic.

Can you Believe Some of the New Posters on Here?
by lifelong humanist in

2. friends
in life, i usually trust new people, at least on face value, until i discover otherwise.

yet, my normal belief system is now in doubt.

i've just replied to a thread started by 'goldensky' - an alleged spanish lady with lots of history as an extremely devout jw in spain.

dear all,.

i discovered this site only a couple of weeks ago and i already feel affection for you.. i am a 48-year-old woman and i live in spain, where i was born and raised, so i apologize in advance for my inevitable lack of style and possible grammar mistakes, due to english not being my native tongue.. i grew up in the truth and jehovah and the congregation have filled my whole life.

i've had little contact with the outside world.
