meaning the anniversary of the day she came into the world.
would a jw typically be offended by that?
she's a convert and a true believer.
I dont think the average JW would mark a difference between happy birthday and happy anniversary.
Why not tell her that you realise that she doesnt celebrate her birthday, and that you respect that,
but you want to wish her a happy birthday, as a demonstration of your affection for her.
Then give her a hug, or a kiss on the cheek. I'm sure that, inside, she will be delighted.
yes, folks!
you heard me correctly.. of course i'm not going to any jc or discussing the matter as i do not recognize jdub authority.. it'll be nice to get my release papers.
apparently an 'anonymous caller' dobbed me in.. how childish!
soon (subject to overlapping)!
Dont hold your breath!
Glad to hear you have no regrets. I take that to mean that there will be no spinoffs with family members?
What can I say then.................................enjoy!
PS Just read your previous posts. I guess that you will have to play it down, for your wife and daughter. Not easy for you.
Good luck.
So, what is the longest thread to date?
i briefly touched on the drama in another post, but i felt i needed to share in greater detail this latest masterpiece.. .
this was the drama on sunday.
the story alternates between the story of joseph, son of jacob, and a witness kid (forgot his name;billy?
Suddenly, the Internet is trustworthy when an accusation is made about a faithful member of the congregation, so long as it's not against the faithful slave or accusing an elder of child molestation. So, we'd like to meet with you.
Loved that sd-7
recently, i have heard several comments during the watchtower study regarding how today's ultra-violent entertainment might actually be "training and preparing people to butcher their own families when the great tribulation hits.
" this rather dystopian thought was also alluded to in several convention talks within the past year or so.. how do you feel about this?
while there is no doubt that explicitly violent media is abundantly available in this day and age, do you feel that this is a plausible conclusion to draw?
training and preparing people to butcher their own families when the Great Tribulation hits."
That assumes that there WILL be a great tribulation
I think that might be the weak link in their arguement.
On another note, is todays entertainment more or less violent than the Roman Arenas?
just had an offer accepted on our first house- we are going to be grown up and getting a mortgage!
scary.... .
anyway, i was thinking that we are moving to a totally new area and eventually there's going to be a knock at the door and too weary-looing sisters brandishing bibles and brochures.
Hi faundy. Thats good news for you both.
In answer to your question, I'd just say not interested thanks, and close the door. Why look for complications.
Would any of your family be likely to pass on your new address though?

That sounds wonderful. Have you thought about writing dramas?
Your version almost makes me want to go on Sunday (then again......)
stuckinamovement and cadellin:
I'd just picked up on the same phrase and was thinking of something to say.
I'm all in agreement with you.
As your story gently makes its way around the world (thanks internet), passing from time zone to time zone,
I'd like to add my welcome to you burnedout.
I look forward to hearing your views on the many things discussed here at JWN
there is such an international flavour on this board .
and i really love that.. as an xjw .
how do you feel these day's about your country .
I now have double nationality, which is rather amusing. I can pick the best of both worlds.
I find different cultures facinating. When on holiday overseas, I love to get off the beaten track a little and mix with the grass roots natives. Its very enriching.
Maybe a gift that the borg has left us with, is an easier acceptance of other races.
