NO I still haven't had an invite, though I have spoken to 2 'sisters' lately and had two phone messages. I definately would not want to go now.
OZZIE, I think you have some very interesting things to say on the subject. I have worried about rejecting Christ's blood.

Who remembers Cake Nights?
by 2SYN in<fluff> .
at the book studies?
they were the highlight of the month.. thing is, all the sisters would try to outdo each other making nice food, which amused me no end, and also kept my stomach filled up, but drove me nuts, because my mother would spend the entire afternoon making a giant racket in the kitchen and screaming @ my sister whilst doing it, just to bake a cool cake for the book study.. also, remember those last ~15 minutes before the end of cake night book studies?

No such thing here. Once in a while a cup of tea would be offered but it was often resented by many and I always had to bum lifts with people so it depended on whether they wanted to stay or not. Also on at least one occasion I was sent home with a young bro. because some of the others were having a private drinky-poo. I found out I was not invited to quite a lot of do's because I was the only one in the 'truth' in my family. OUr cong was told from the platform by the CO, or the DO I can't remember, that we had a lot of love but we just didn,t spread it around, like the lack of cake.

Pet Peeves
by patio34 inanyone have any pet peeves they'd like to air?
here's one that just happened at work that is an annoyance for me: when you are speaking and the person interrupts the conversation with a corny play on words or the like.
for example, "i had to sit on the phone on hold for about 5 minutes, waiting .

Eating meat in Paradise?
by meat pie inyou know there's always the belief that 'we won't eat meat in paradise because that's not what god originally intended?
' normally pictures of food in the mags are huge bowls or baskets of fruit and veg,well i noticed watchtower march 1 2002 page 15 has a photo of what appears to be a nice meaty curry or similar.
then i noticed awake february 22 2002, pages 8 and 9 'under god's kingdom, people will enjoy work that is both safe and rewarding'.

There are some cows, now we are farmers and I know that with cows you either eat them or their children and if you want their milk you generally have to kill their calves or take them away while still very young. So what's that all about?

Can a JW PLEASE answer my question on baptism?
by Sunspot inwitnesses always strongly state that they strictly follow the commands of jesus and all bible principles.. i have such an important (to me, anyway) question that i would appreciate a meaningful answer to:.
at matthew 28:19, jesus issues a direct command to his followers, that being: "go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing then in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit".
why doesn't the wbts then follow this command, which has never changed, and taken it upon themselves to add to and alter what the bible clearly states on this?.

Every time I smell cooking apples being cooked I remember an old lady when I was very small, she was called Mrs Satchell. She used to let her hens in the house and they'd get on the table,one day she gave me a cup of tea and it had something lumpy in it, her house always smelt of cooking apples.There's more but it starts to get really weird.

No hand guns , but we have got a 22rifle, could have a bigger one but it could 'carry' off our own land , we have a farm. The rifle is for vermin and any seriously injured/suddenly ill animals. Useful when lambing always a few casualties.
