13Young, free, single and FRAZZLED!
by Sunchild incute parody titles aside..... i, rochelle, am finally moving out of my parents' house in a couple of weeks.
i've found a wonderful college senior with an apartment to share (and it's just a stone's throw from ann arbor, my favorite place in the world), and i'm in a bit of a tizzy figuring out what to do, what to pack, what to leave, what to sell, when to do what, all that fun stuff.. my question is, should i sell my jw books on e-bay?
would anybody buy them?

What's Right about "Right?"
by Farkel inhang on, folks.
if a) is true then god is arbitrary: anything he says is right, is right.
so you admit that gods decisions are purely arbitrary?.

Wow! Fantastic post! Made a lot of sense to me. Thanks. This one is a keepie. I wish I was still in association with some of the Jdubs so that I could ask them to explain this to me. It would be fun to see them spin their heads and spit green goo! I sure wish I had the thinking skills I have now a number of years ago...oh, that's right, I couldn't have, I was a JW.
Again, great post, loved it!

If you haven't seen blue smurfs running around you're okay, no "return visit" to the KH is necessary for any "new light" on the matter. Don't worry...be happy!
Ain't life grand?!

Last Night's Elders Meeting.
by Englishman inlast night i concluded a very lively social evening by talking with an elder who was enjoying a few late gin 'n'tonics in my local pub.. suitably booted and suited, my dubinthepub pal told me that he had just been to an elders meeting, conducted by the co.. he said that a lot of stuff was only handed down by word of mouth these days.
but, new light that he had just received, was as follows: (bear in mind that we were both pretty steamed by midnight!).
1. elders must call on all dfd ones once a year to encourage them to turn back and where necessary to have their questions answered.

Funny that you should bring up the fact that maybe the other annointed would send in some "new light" to the governing body. I have known several annointed, men and women, and they all told me that the society never asked them for their thoughts on anything. You would think they would, wouldn't you, in order to get an accurate idea of what God wants? I haven't talked to any annointed for a long time now, so I don't know if it is different now, especially now that no-annointed are part of the running of things. It will be interesting to see how they address this issue. I can't believe that a good many JW's haven't already written in on this one!

Hi Sunchild! Welcome here! I'm relatively new here too, but not on H2O. It's been a while, hope all is well. My oldest daughter (21) is still Wiccan, just in case you're wondering and both my daughters are doing well. All three of us are attending college this quarter and I love it. Anyways...just wanted to say HI!

Dear Englishman,
You said:
"Governing body members no longer had to be FDS."
So if they no longer need to be FDS then where does the stuff about the holy spirit directing God's people through the FDS fit in. No longer needs, or does God work through just anybody now? Interesting isn't it?

Pink Songbooks - Green Bibles
by nicolaou inthose of us who've been around long enough will understand the title.
what we are looking for here are examples of the society's lack of taste.. for example, i'm sure our kingdom hall wasn't the only one in the 70's with dark brown carpeting that rose halfway up the walls and a nice trendy rubber plant in the corner of the platform!.
nic'.

When we built ours Hall the inside color was ORANGE! Very in for the time period. And brick, for accenting it up front for the stage. Two BIG fake potted trees too! OOOH! Ahhh! And grass paper on the walls. We had windows back then too. Now it has been redone in teals and tans and the new "Taco Bell" colors! The windows were blocked up and now "new light" can't get in or out! But they put in "new light" fixtures instead. Heheheh....Sorry, couldn't help myself!

Now Foot and Mouth Hits My Families Farm.
by Englishman ini thought that maybe i would keep everyone up to date re the foot and mouth epidemic that is sweeping the uk.. my wifes brother bob has a farm in dumfries, which is just across the scotland border.
yesterday tony blair visited the area and commended the farmers for their courage in keeping going in the face of almost insurmountable odds.. this morning bob received a letter from the ministry of agriculture.
his animals are within 5 miles of an outbreak of f & m, and as such they are to be slaughtered in an effort at containment.

Dear Englishman,
This is sad and horrible. I can't believe they are making them do this. No money will compensate for all the hard work and affection that has gone into all this. A question though. Can the sperm and the eggs be taken from the animals and frozen or is that prohibited too? I don't know the finances either, it might be to costly. Just an idea as I was reading this. I am so sorry, give my sympathy to your family.

I have read this piece and found it very interesting. It was recommeded to me a long time ago from a member on H2O. Mark Twain is a fascinating writer. I wish I had time to read more of his works.

Hi ozzie,
Just got tired of "Antique" after five years of it. Lindy is so much more me (although I wish I was young and vibrant!). Antique was chosen because of a joke between a old friend of mine and myself and my love of antiques. I'm five years older than he is and we always joked about that. But now that my life has changed so much I decided that Lindy was much better and I don't get the "old" cracks form the "stupids" out there. But you can still call me Antique if you'd like. ;) I don't really mind the name.
Thanks for the welcome! Good to be here.
Lindy, Antique, Auntie, whatever!
