  i've been getting really into cooking lately!

  i do have most of the same hobbies i had before, (i've always been into art and reading and watching movies and travelling) only now i can do them whenever and don't have to worry about meetings getting in the way or people telling me i spend too much time with "recreation.

  1. watchtower

  "therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration or a sabbath day.

  " colossians 2:16 niv (in some other translations, religious festival is translated holiday or holy day) .

  "Listen To God and Live Forever" brochure

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just recieved a "care package" from my mother (i'm inactive, haven't been to a meeting in a few months but haven't specifically said to her that i don't want to be a jw anymore) and in it, among other things, are 2 new brochures (one is simplified) called listen to god and live forever.. has anyone else seen these?

  i think you can get them in pdf form on the jw.org website.

  has anyone else noticed some of the weird pictures?

  Weird things JWs can't own or wear

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  also posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.

  (some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).

  obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.

  Let the shunning begin, apparently...(long-winded)

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my father and i have been going back and forth on facebook in private messages.

  it had been since august that my dad had contacted me, before i was beginning to "come out" about not wanting to be a jw, and actually i haven't actually stated that to any of my family or jw friends yet, as i was hoping to do the fade thing.. well i wrote to my dad and he has recently been very sr (self-righteous) lately and was copy/pasting "answers" to my questions right out of the wt cd-rom.

  i called him on it and asked him to speak out of his heart.

  JWs and Jesus

  by lilbluekitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as many of you already know, i was raised in the "truth", 3rd generation on my mother's side, 5th or something on my dad's side so i've been a jw for a long time, not so much now.. anyway, those of you who either spent a long time in the religion or who actually came from a regular christian religion first or became one later, did any of you notice how jws feel about jesus?

  though they're supposed to be "true" christians, they don't talk about christ much or don't talk about his sacrifice much.

  i know jws (and i) don't believe in the trinity but what's wrong with being more thankful to him for what he did for us?
