Do you get tired of explaining your Witness past?

last saturday night i volunteered to be an usher at a production of hamlet that my college was putting on.

there were only two other ushers, one of whom was a woman in her early thirties.

(she was paid!

At first I used to tell everyone at the drop of a hat. I would actually try and find a way to talk about it...(such a nerd). Now, I usually put it off. Or avoid it. Like others have mentioned, I usually try to pass it off with laughter, or quick little comments. However, that never seems to work. They usually dig for more and more info...but it usually ends up being the same conversation over and over again.

"Yes we're the ones that knock on your door"

"Yeah they don't celebrate holidays or birthdays"

"Yeah they don't do blood transfusions"

"Yes we don't have windows on our churches."

Blah blah blah...

Jesus versus Judas. (May cause offence)

by Englishman in

jesus was a ransom sacrifice for many.

according to scripture, he died to save the world and carried the sins of the world with him as he died.

he actually suffered an horrendous death, dying 3 hours after being crucified.

joannadandy

Had he had the chance to" do it all over again"........would he have betrayed Jesus a second time if he was that despondent over his actions the first time?

Not only that, but Jesus wouldn't have been killed (of course you could argue it would have happened some other way) therefore he wouldn't have died for our sins. Judas got the ball rolling to "save us all"

Are You a Taker Not a Giver

by blondie in

many posting here once would not accept a blood transfusion or give blood because of the wts doctrine.. having left that doctrine behind and being willing to "accept" a blood transfusion, are you willing (if able medically) to donate blood?.

if willing to accept an organ transplant, are you willing (if medically able) to donate an organ, either as a live donor or when deceased?.

if yes, to both questions, do you donate blood regularly?

joannadandy

I haven't donated blood, but I am an organ donor.

Actually as a biblical figure Judas was always more interesting to me...I guess being a withdrawn and suicidal teen I found his story more realistic and interesting than a dude who could break some fish into lots of tiny pieces.

Glad to have you with us...and glad to see your bravery and not being afraid anymore.

Can we make Jessica Simpson number 9?

From the Washington Post:

Referring to Simpson's role on MTV's "Newlyweds," Bush told the audience, "Jessica Simpson is here with us, which means we've finally introduced reality TV to the Lincoln Theater."

He meant Ford's Theatre, of course, but everyone knows President Lincoln was shot there. "An easy mistake to make," Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle told us at a post-show dinner at the Organization of American States.

Simpson, whose verbal gaffes are also legendary, pulled another one Sunday visiting the White House, our sources say. The singer was introduced to Interior Secretary Gale Norton and gushed: "You've done a nice job decorating the White House."
