SUMMER CAMPS FOR KIDS A BIG NO-NO

by Mary in

jw
friends

i guess i shouldn't be surprised at this, but my dub sister told me this morning that at the meeting last night, they had a "local needs" about whether or not "christian" parents should enroll their kids in any summer camps, or recreational activities that colleges and universities offer each year.

the list of activities the kids can do are numerous and to me, they are an excellent source that could really help develop a child's talents, expose them to the wonders of science, art, engineering, etc., develop skills that would obviously be of benefit to them both now and in later life, and give them a chance to meet new friends from other schools in the area.

anyway, while not out and out forbidding it, these activities are being very much frowned upon.

Well they already did that bullsh*t talk at my congregation, it has been 3 years I send my oldest kid to a day camp, as he is Autistic and they do wonders for him, so I ignored the talk.... I'm glad I did, my son is now better then he ever was after that.

What comment will you make at the New Light Watchtower Study this weekend

by jwfacts in

gbsjg just made a comment that the watchtower will feature the article on 'new light' this weekend.

what a perfect opportunity for a visiting brother to a congregation (or incognito apostate) to answer with some honest and thought provoking comments.

"i find it interesting that the watchtower criticises some religions for not changing their old doctrines and creeds, and other religions that do progressively change them for having had them wrong in the first place, and yet we seem to be doing the same ourselves.".

I feel sick, will miss the meeting..... how convinient to feel sickness comming along, it is a sign I guess

The hook, well I was very lonely at this time in 1992-93, just lost my girlfriend, and got hooked by a workcolege which was a witness which I ended marrying, then divorceing and remarrying... She is still a witness, me I faded away...

Hours

by vitty in

concerning the hours pubs are expected to put in every months the "national" average is usually a guide and everyone strives to "do" this amount.

but since it is "national and not "international" is seems quite a coincidence that everyones country has this 10 hours average.. also since the pioneer and aux pioneer hours went down, surely the national average must have of too.

i cant remember any articles saying the average had now gone down to 6 ...............hooray .

Yes counted my breaks and sometimes even the bookstudy when I didn't have much time, well they did say to count bible studies no???

Fantastic music site I just discovered! FANTASTIC!

by nicolaou in

just type in a song that is typical of your tastes and the site will create a 'station' that continually plays music you should like.

fantastic to have in the background if you are surfing, even better if your pc is the heart of your music system.. it does not play requests, that isn't what it's about, although your original selection will end up in the playlist.

by the way, did i say i think this is fantastic!.

Lapuce

Excellent site.... great..... I'm listening to it while I type now...

Do you think that the elders DF'd or DA'd you because you knew to much?

by booker-t in

i was reading about carl o jonsson and how the wts df'd him because he found out about the 586/607 contraversy.

i was wondering how many people are unfairly kicked out of the wts because they have some damaging info on the wts that could lead to a massive exodus.

i know when i found out about beth sarim the elders told me not to tell any other jw's about it.
