  I am trying to get her to a place where she is comfortable without all the answers.

  exactly.

  JW's think they have all the answers and that makes people happy. A psuedo happiness.

  yes, I used to play clarinet, and could transpose the music straight from the songbook (Bflat instrument, piano is C)

  Then I changed to flute (easy to play, no transposing, lol)

  Played at the KHs. Loved to play with lots of feeling. Loud when it needed to be loud, soft when it was suppose to. *sigh * oh well.

  Now I just play for my enjoyment. And no stupic songs made of all cords.

  i am asking for a simple opinion here.

  according to the latest jw "laws", should and active witness, much less one serving as an elder, do any work for military institutions such as the air force, navy, and u.s. army?

  i submit the following link http://besappraisals.com/john.html (please copy and paste).

  welcome to the board "allalongthewatchtower".

  I strongly recommend you get a copy of Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom by Raymond Franz. Also Apocalypse Delayed by James Penton. Those books should help summerize what is wrong with the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  But be forwarned, if your wife is studying with them, they already warn her about persecusion from family members. So go slow and appeal to her critical thinking and love of family.

  okay, y'all, get out your experiences, thinking caps, and remedies.

  jennie is 11 (will be 12 in october).

  this year she has started to show all of the classic signs of puberty, and a couple of weeks ago had cramps about the same time as my cycle.

  just curious, with all the internet bashing, etc, if a bethelite wanted to have internet access in their room, would it be allowed.. if so, i wonder if they monitor the activity?

  only that an ex friend of ours (still JWs) his son at bethel got his dad a laptop but put on it the software that the son can monitor where he goes on the internet all the way from bethel!!! Yes, across many state lines. This kid is in the computer department. So if he's monitoring his own dad, you can just imagine how they are monitoring the bethel family.

  entering the mind of the suicide bomber.

  the sunday business post (ireland), july 17, 2005 by kevin toolis.

  as the tube doors closed behind him, and the circle line train headed west towards edgware road, bomber mohammed sidique khan knew that his next destination was paradise.. around him stood innocent london commuters, but their lives - and their imminent deaths - meant nothing to khan.

  When I was in London 2 weeks ago, after the bombings, I was noticing how Muslin's that were interviewed actually stuck up for their friends (the suicide bombers) They would not really answer the reporter's questions but justify the bomber's actions. Total brainwashing and I'm afraid more bombing (Jehad) because the fundamentalist Muslims view themselves at war.

  Unfortunately, it was all too easy to understand because of the background in a cult. It is all about mind control and people willing to anything for their "God".
