Even if this isn't true as it is said to be, I thought it was a very touching story.
The Table Cloth - a beautiful story !
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first
ministry,
to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October
excited
about their opportunities.When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work.
They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first
service on
Christmas Eve. They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls,
painting,
etc. and on Dec 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished.On Dec 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm - hit the area and
lasted for
two days. On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart
sank when
he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about
20 feet
by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the
pulpit,
beginning about head high.The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else
to do
but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he
noticed
that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity so
he stopped in.
One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted
tablecloth
with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the
center.
It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall.He bought it and headed back to the church. By this time it had
started to snow.
An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch
the bus. She
missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the
next bus 45 minutes later.
She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a
ladder, hangers, etc., to put
up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe
how beautiful it looked
and it covered up the entire problem area. Then he noticed the woman
walking down the
center aisle. Her face was like a sheet. "Pastor," she asked, "where
did you
get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to
check the lower right corner to see
if
the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were.These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth
35 years
earlier, in Austria.The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just
gotten the
Tablecloth. The woman explained that before the war she and her
husband were well-to-do people in
Austria. When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave.Her husband was going to follow her the next week. She was captured,
sent to prison
and never saw her husband or her home again. The pastor wanted to give
her the tablecloth;
but she made the pastor keep it for the church.The pastor insisted on driving her home, that was the least he could
do. She lived on
the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day
for a housecleaning
job.What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was
almost full. The
music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the
pastor and his wife greeted
everyone at the door and many said that they would return. One older
man, whom the pastor
recognized from the neighborhood, continued to sit in one of the pews
and stare, and the pastor
wondered why he wasn't leaving. The man asked him where he got the
tablecloth on the front wall
because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when
they lived in Austria
before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike?He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee
for her safety,
and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a
prison. He never saw his
wife or his home again all the 35 years in between.The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little
ride. They drove
to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the
woman three days earlier. He
helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's
apartment, knocked on the door
and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.A True Story - from Pastor Rob Reid

Hey There ! All You Disfellowshipped Ones!
by Englishman inis your anger with the jw religion due mainly to the fact that you have been df'd?
is it possible that persons who post here who are not disfellowshipped can feel as angry as those who are being shunned and who are therefore being effectively gagged?.
is the df'ing policy of the wtbts the main reason that ex-jw's seem to go all out to get other witnesses out of the org?

Mr Moe
It's funny how they speak out of both sides of their mouths isn't it?
They tell you that one must show a repentant attitude, when in fact all they are worried about is weather anymoe else knows about the deed.
That is what they seemed to be worried about in my case anyway the time I was reprimanded. Once I told them that no one knew, It was ok.
Can't let the jw religion have a bad rep ya know.Lilacs

Kabul Being Attacked NOW

It is at msnbc
http://www.msnbc.com/news/639389.asp
Oct. 7 — In a video released Sunday by Arab TV, alleged terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden issued a statement calling the terrorist attacks in the United States a curse by God. He said the attacks were a “payback” for injustices suffered by Muslims — such as children dying in Iraq and Palestinians being killed in the Middle East. It appears from the tape that the statement was made Sept. 11, the day of the terrorist attacks.
Today, God has cursed the United States with its own deeds, for God has destroyed some of its greatest buildings, and the United States was filled with terror from its West to its East and from its North to its South.
So we thank God.
And what the United States is tasting today is what we have been tasting for tens of years.
For our nation, for more than 80 years, has been tasting this terror.
And our people have been killed, and our blood has been shed. And our holy grounds have been disrespected. And we have called for help and got none.
U.S. BEING PAID BACK
It is one of Islam’s soldiers whom God has given the wisdom to pay back the United States. When they answered this degradation, the whole world came to attack us.
One million children died in Iraq to this minute. They were blameless, but they were killed. And we have heard nothing from our leaders.
To this date, the Israeli tanks destroyed Palestine in Ramallah ... and other Islamic lands. And no one has come to their aid.
So if the sword comes upon the United States after 81 years, they should understand why it came.
We should say they are hypocrites. They gave victory to cowards, so God should allow anything to happen to them.
I want to say that it’s very clear it is every Muslim’s role after what happened and after what the United States is planning to the international centers. They have come out with their men and their military to fight Islam, and it is our role to defend Islam.
They have come to attack Allah’s religion.
They have come to fight Islam.
And they tell the world they are fighting terrorism.
WORLD SPLIT IN TWO HALVESMillions of children in Iraq were never mentioned, and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were not mentioned. But in Nairobi, when a few Americans died, it was a world event.
I want to say these offenses have split the world in two halves — the faithful and the sinners, those that are not with Allah.
It is the role of every Muslim to understand the winds of war are upon us, and it’s our calling to defend Islam.
I want to say to the United States, I swear to Allah who has breathed the sun to the sky, that ... the United States will have no peace until every sinner, until every Israeli, has left Palestinian lands.
May God bless you. -

I just do not understand........
by WildHorses inmaybe it's just me but, why is it that "christians" seem to be the most judgmental, unforgiving, hard hearted people?.
all my life for some reason or other, i have believed in god and jesus, but throughout history, and even in our time.
the cruelest acts have been done in the name of god.. i see "christians" claim they have love of their fellow man, but their actions (and words) are to the contrary.

Faith in God, being a Christian is really a personal relationship, and is between God and the individual.
Amazing, I have been saying this for sometime now. I will never again in my live join a religion. It's the Christians of religions who are the worst for juging people. I just wish that people would get a grasp of what Jesus said about not judging uless they want to be judged. It sickens me to hear Christians condeming others when most of them in some way or other are also doing things they shouldn't do. For Gods sake, we are all sinners. not just the non Christians. We who believe in God are not better than those who do not. It are those who do not believe that Jesus said we to try and win over by our fruits. I do not see many good fruits in the religion joing Christians.
Sorry this was so long but I needed to vent.

Atheist treat people with more compassion then Christians do. They are far less judgmental, more accepting of others who have a difference of opinion.
Is it the fact that Christians think they are somehow better than non Christians?
I just don't get it...............and if the way people who claim to be Christians act, is the norm. I don't think I really want to be one. I believe that unless someone is hurting another, that they have a right to live life the way they choose and not be judged for doing so. If I am wrong, please help me out because I just don't get it.
