just wondering if anyone here has ever a supernatural experience.. whether it be seeing a ghost/angel/demon, ufo encounter.. etc..
My son took a picture last summer of me and my daughter next to the tv. When we had it developed, there is a big spooky looking face on the tv screen. The tv was not on at the time. The face is not one that would be a tv show anyway. It fills the whole screen and I'm telling you, it's creeeeepy. Looks alot like my dead father in law. I try not to look at it to often. Just can't explain it.

ok this has nothing to do with being a jw or anything of that nature but it is important to me and i need some help:.
here goes i have been drinking rum and coke (bacardi) since i can remember and finally realized that maybe it is contributing to my severly harsh hangovers.
so i went on a quest in search of a new drink.
I know this isn't what you are looking for but I love love love a good Australian Shiraz.

gathering that there seems to be a mix of active jw's, inactive jw's, ex-jw's, atheists etc.
here, i am wandering on your thoughts on the holidays with more focus on the more religious based holidays like christmas & easter.. i'd like to know if you celebrate them like the mainstream of society or if you still have your reservations about them based on what you learned as part of the wt.
i myself have been very turned off by the holidays in recent years - not because of the wt though- but for my own personal reasons.
We decided to let the kids dictate the extent of our celebrations. We have slowly eased our way into Christmas and Easter. Last year we celebrated a full-on Christmas. It was a blast. The kids were four and two and loved every minute of it. I have to admit, it was stressful and very time consuming so this year I already have a box of presents and I continue to purchase Christmas stuff so I don't have the last minute scramble for gifts. I want to enjoy decorating and making things with my kids this year. We are planning a big family party (first ever) with all the cousins and Aunts/Uncles/Grandparents. My mom (Mulan) and dad don't see themselves celebrating Christmas, but they do enjoy watching the kids at Christmas. They will come to the parties too.
For the last two years we have had a neighborhood Christmas party. Everyone loves it. It's nice to have a least one day a year where you can sit and talk to the people you wave to every day. The first year everyone matched faces to houses, now they stop and talk to each other in their yards all year round. We have great neighbors and I think everyone loves the party.
Birthdays are huge in this house. Nuff said.

heres something i've always wondered ,why do jw's insist that you have to say amen to conclued a prayer?.
of all the prayers in the bible i can't recall one ending in amen (correct me if i'm wrong).. anyway amen means "so be it" so why not say "so be it" at the end of your prayer or words to that effect?.
most of the prayers in the bible just end with nothing tagged on to the end.. so were does this come from?.
Does God mind background music during a prayer?
We rarely close our eyes during prayers at dinner anymore. Have to keep our eyes on the two little ones who like to start eating early!

the ultrasound results are in: foxy and i are going to be having a baby girl, sometime around the end of january!
yippie!.
i'm just realizing, though, that i know nothing about girls, having grown up with three brothers.
I don't know where to begin....
Congratulations! Girls are great fun...and very expensive.
I should know, I have one and I am one. I'm also the only girl amongst three brothers, thus the name.

not counting your personal regrets, what was the greatest waste of life and talent you ran across in the organization.. i have 2:.
1. a guy who was a brilliant grand master chess player who gave it up when he became a witness.. 2. a beautiful young lady that i dated (the last i dated) who gave up a scholarship to julliard school for music to study opera and who was working as a bank teller.. can people be prosecuted for murdering dreams?.
hugs.
sixofnine: you've got mail
