I have been asked to submit work for next year's open studio exhibit

by nugget in

my husband showed some of my work to artists exhibiting in this years open studio event and i have been asked to submit work for next year.

as soon as the children go back to school i will be busy with the isograph pens.

as a witness i gave up my art studies and my dream of fine art because it was not appropriate for a witness.

Beautiful stuff, they would be crazy not to accept your work. You have a talent that needs to be seen!

after more than a month of not attending the meetings, my girls will be returning to the meeting tomorrow.

their father is taking them.

i was so happy because my girls were free from the boredom, drudgery and mind control inflicted upon those that attend.

What Congregation should you attend?

by Quarterback in

jw
friends

can someone, please, help me in finding this?.

i remember in a kingdom ministry, written quite some time, ago.. it mentioned that it was upto the individual family to determine what congregation they would attend, based on their own circumstances.

they wouldn't be subjected to determined boundaries.. does anyone remember that one, and where it exists?.

Parrish hopping happens out in the "world" too, I know a family that crosses town to another church... passing several of their denomination's churches on the way. Not a big deal.

Active Witness Reading Combatting Cult Mind Control

by BU2B in

jw

i have gotten a thought about how to wake active witnesses up.

since the book does not mention jws specifically, if you could get a active jw to read ccmc, what do you think their reaction would be?

could they clearly see how jws fit in as a cult?, or would the average jw be blinded to the obvious and just see how other groups like mormons, moonies, scientology, etc fit the mold?

I'd go for it. He already doesnt follow directions regarding only reading JW publications. You can ask a question or two about what he read or mention some issue you found interesting.
