Celebrating for the first time!
by stephanie61092 inokay i'm so excited, i'm celebrating valentines day today!
i walk into work this morning (normally a sterile office filled with boring engineers like myself) to find everyone clad in decorative hearts with streamers hanging from the ceiling and heart shaped goodies in the kitchen.
had i walked in on this last year, i would've kept my head low and tried to avoid all conversation unless it was strictly about work.

I would venture that JWs would outright reject with no consideration, any "lumping" together with anyone.
They really play the "chosen by God in the last days" card to the hilt. If you say it enough and want it enough it MUST be true I guess.
Do you think it is articles like the one in the OP that have contributed to the great distancing from Russell that has happened in recent years amongst the JWs?

Gas Pump "Witnessing"....Is this a thing?
by Bob Loblaw ini've seen this twice now within a month.
a car group hanging out at a gas station.
one of the cult members jumps outs of their car and runs up to a "worldly" gas pumper, arm stretched out, tract in hand, and here comes the juvenile at best question.

Its considered a great way to get your time started or to keep it going after a break or whatever.
I personally think JWs love that type of interaction because it is guaranteed to be short.
This whole "witnessing" thing goes against human nature. It is more of a hardship for some than others.

Last Day of Chemo
by azor intoday is the end of my son's 3 -1/2 year treatment for leukemia.
we had a small party at the hospital with nursing staff and a few friends.
it has been a great day with the exception of getting walking pnemonia from his sister.

DOC is right, it has been a shitty day.
Knowing somewhere a Daddy is holding his healthy little boy close and enjoying a movie makes things look a lot better.
Very happy for you and yours azor.

Funeral Memorial Service: Who was this mystery man?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inlast night,my wife and i went to my cousins funeral memorial service.it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be.they had two video screens with pictures of my cousin from a baby to the end of his life.they stopped playing as soon as the service started and the screens were raised out of the way.. the family and close relatives arrived one hour earlier to find seats near the front rows and have a little family time.. there was a mystery man that was seated near the front with a tablet,a jw.org pin on his suit jacket and just sat there writing on his tablet the whole time without greeting anyone or even speaking.. does anyone know who this man could be?
was he sent by the society to make sure everything went well?.

Hi Rules,
My sympathies to you and your family in the loss of your cousin.
It does sound like maybe this mystery man was in charge of setting up the stage and/or sound.
Who knows what he was really doing on his tablet. What if he was here posting!
Probably not but interesting to think about.

by StoneWall inany others going to super bowl party in a few hours?who's your pick to win the big game?looks like they bringing more celebrities in for half-time show.i'm going to be pulling for the carolina panthers for two reasons: !
) i'm currently living in n.c. 2)would be nice to have a new team win it this year that's never won.i'm happy that at least the new england patriots aren't in this year's super bowl.
they are a great talented team but have just had my fill of them being in so many over the years.anyhow i just hope this year is a great game and that the half-time show doesn't suck.go panthers!!!!!!!!

My son calls the Super Bowl the best American holiday! LOL
I guess it meets the criteria. Even has its own traditional foods now. I dont care much about the game but I do have to say Lady Gaga showed off her range and pitch singing the opening anthem!

Thank you for finding that for me cha ching.
Your explanation makes a lot of sense, I agree that is what he was trying to say.
Too bad he cant express himself well and leaves his words open to such confusion.
Seems that would be covered in Public Speaking 101.
