Strollers at DC
by InquiryMan inif i understand it correctly, strollers are not allowed at us conventions.. in sweden, a letter was written to the congregation, introducing this new rule.
however, quite a few families wrote letters to the society,.
asking if they wanted families with children to attend the assemblies or not... it was stated that they would not go unless strollers were allowed.. the society pulled back, allowing strollers in designated areas.. in norway, they didn t even bother to introduce the rule in the first place... .

Thinking persons will agee that rather than spening countless hours practicing and playing tennis and drawing attention to herself it would have been better if she'd have spent the time bringing honor to the Creator and built up treasures for herself in heaven rather than striving for acclaim in this dying system of things.

If JW's dissapeared off the face of the earth you will contntinue to hate them as long as you choose to or continue to get some sort of pay off from it.
Sometimes hating the "wrongs" that are done to us can become a running theme in our life and a distraction or excuse for whatever we feel may be lacking in our lives at present. For instance if somehow equality and fairness was granted to gay's, women, minorities, etc some people wouldn't know what to do with themselves. What would there be to rally around...who can we blame things on...what will I do with the time I used to spend on this ?
A cut can heal but it often leaves a scar. The more you pick at it the worse the scar will be. No matter how well it heals the skin will never be the same in that spot and you will think of what happened each time you notice it for some reason. How you react to the scar is up to you. It is a process but you have to be able to accept if for what it is and be willing to let it go. Visiting this site has been very helpful to me but I realize that it may be becoming a hinderance to my moving on and putting the hurt behind me once and for all. Each time we dewll on our experience with the WT it reinforces the story in our minds and deepens and prolongs the damage.
Hatred and anger are acids that eat through their own container.

A little update on my family
by sooner7nc ina few of you may remember that my wife had a kidney transplant early last year.
since then the kidney has been incredible, giving her a new lease on life.
it's really been good to see the light in her eyes that i had missed for quite a long time.. the counterpoint to this good news is the problems we have had with our son coltin.

Skirts and trousers (pants if you're in the US)
by Chariklo injust what is it that the watchtower thinks is so much more modest and respectful to jehovah about wearing a skirt instead of trousers?
that is, unless you live in a culture that has trousers as the norm for women, as in india.. something today brought this to my mind.
i can't even remember what it was, but it led to thinking again about this.

When I was in elementary school the girls weren't allowed to wear pants unless it snowed. If it snowed they were allowed to wear them under a dress or skirt. It was another hold over notion from a bygone era that most people came to realize was ridiculous. Not the Watchtower gang who take themselves so seriously. They made a stand on it back in the day so they have to stick to it or they think they'll loose ground. It's the same with beards or hair past the ears for men. God always agrees with whatever they decide.
