What if they woke up all at the same time?
by JH inoften we had threads that said, "what if we are wrong"?
but lets reverse the question and ask, "what would happen if they realized that they were completely wrong"?
imagine 6 million people not knowing where to look anymore for spiritual guidance.

"What do you think would happen if 6 million witnesses all of a sudden realized that they were serving a false religion?"
Thousands of families would be reunited. Oreo

Corporal punishment and JWs
by YellowLab inhow many of you were spanked, beaten or in some other way physically corrected as a jw?.
my mother used to beat me with her hands, shoes, belts and various other items within reach when i misbehaved.
many times it was borderline abuse.. do jws teach to beat their kids into submission using physical means?

Out4good3, When I fell asleep during the meetings, I had to stand up at my seat. Did I mention that my parents always sat in either the 1st or 2nd row? Oreo

My childhood friend. We helped each other endure the stress of being raised a JW , and I honestly believe that if it were not for her I would have never survived the abuse from my step-dad. She helped me keep my sanity, comforted me, supported me, protected me. She left the borg a few years after I did. Despite this, she ended our 25 year friendship when she went back to the borg and I refused to join her. I miss her terribly. Oreo

I have a black lab, and a chocolate lab with beautiful green eyes. My husband's boss and his wife own a greyhound, and they speak very highly of the breed.

Grilled steak, baby carrots, and scalloped potatoes - it was yummy! We don't drink so we will top if off with lemon meringue pie, and homemade peanut butter cookies. (Baked and decorated by our kiddies!) Have a Wonderful New Year, Oreo

Not intrested in Christmas
by sleepy in.
i'm just not interested in celebriating christmas.maybe the witnesses had that one right.. if i had children i would probably give presents , just so they don't feel left out , thought not having them myself did me no harm , maybe it made me stronger.but christmas is just one big fake pushed by big businessess, i am not their pawn to be played with.. ok you can have a good laught a few drinks and all that but all the while we are being taken advantage of by the comercial world .imagine the money they would lose if their was no christmas.. can't wait for that big turkey tomorrow though.

Awesome post! I do not have Christmas memories, but what you described are the memories I am creating for my children. At our home, Jesus is the Reason for the Season.
Merry Christmas,
