Anyone have a Kindle or a Nook?
by Simon ini really don't like the ipad (or apple) but i think an ebook reader would be nice.
nothing made by sony though .... the amazon kindle and barnes & noble nook look to be the best (esp.
with the recent price reductions) but i'd like any insight from anyone who has one.

Kindle for me, I have had one since it was released. LOVE LOVE my kindle!!!
It is so handy when traveling on airplanes, but esp easy to read out in direct sunlight. It is my favorite thing to take to the beach. Hubby has the Nook, not beach reading for him.......

For those who only go to the K Hall once a year for Memorial, this was a scare tactic. Instead of loving us back into the fold.

The last time we went to the Memorial, Guy Pierce gave the talk. At the end of the talk we were expecting some upbuilding toughts, instead he said:" if any of you here tonight are here for the first time, or you only come Once a year for this nights celebration YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE THE GREAT DAY OF THE ALMIGHTY AND LIVE IN HIS PARADISE" then he went on about meeting attendance and Bible study etc... Well, my hubby and I looked at each other with a look that said ' I guess we're doomed then'. We left that night and vowed we would not be back. This leaves us in a quandry about Jesus command to" keep doing this in remembrance of me" We want to obey this command, but don't want to be a hypocrite and go to the KH for the Memorial........any thoughts?

We lived next door to the KHall, so it was always our "privelege" to have the CO stay at our home. Some CO couples made their stay with us so easy and comfortable. They were the ones who were rarely there. The last CO couple declined all invites out for the evening wishing to stay in. So then it became my "privelege" to prepare each evening meal for the time they were with us,not to mention breakfast too. They had their list of will not eat. Oh and by the way they would not allow food to be brought in or have any of the cong to drop by for a visit. At the time we had 3 kids at home. The rest of the cong. felt left out of the privelege to have them in their home for a meal and an evening of encouragement. But the CO wife said she couldn't stand the local food. Besides all the cooking I was doing, I was of course expected to join the cong for special week of field service activities. That was always the longest week, Tues noon to Tues noon. When the PO notified me of their next visit and told me of course they requested to stay with us, I told him that I was going to pass the "privelged" on to someone else, after all I had had them the last two times. He was horrified that I wouldn't jump at the chance to have them again. Well, he guilted me into it, and I wanted to be a good wife and a support to my elder husband. My happiest day came when we moved from that house and changed cong. Now many years later, as a fader I look back and shutter at how we all cow-towed to them like they were better than the rest of us.

DO WE NEED TO BELONG TO A RELIGION TO BE A "SPIRITUAL PERSON"?
by foodalls ini have been noticing people posting on this site have a "deep" spiritual desire, but don't quite know how to find it, or where it is at.. this beg the question...do we need to be involved with a "religion" to find "spirituality"...especially an "organized religion"???.
anyone that has there eyes open can see that all religion is loosing their influence over people around the world...i spent 47 years thinking i was in the "truth" being one of jw's!
and now that i am out...and looking back from the "outside"...all i see is that its just another religion...filled with all the "control-grid" stuff found in any other group.. worse yet...they are worse than other religions...so it begs an answer..is there such thing as a "true religion"???.

Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how long you’ve been a Christian, how much you know, or how often you go to church. Spiritual maturity is measured by the way you treat other people. It’s measured by the love you allow to operate in and through you.

LURKERS: Is JW the only true religion? Here is my personal research!
by mentallyfree31 inare jehovah's witnesses the only religion teaching the truth?.
the statement that only jehovah's witnesses are teaching the truth is an extraordinary claim.
such a claim would require extraordinary evidence.

That reminds me of a quote: " If you talk to God, you're religious. If God talks to you, you're psychotic"
