  Until they're teenagers, most kids are kind of obsessed with following 'the rules', whatever those may be in their worlds. It's helpful if you can get kids and also THEIR FRIENDS to go together...friends from school, or non witness cousins. Of course to their friends, it's second nature to them and they are relaxed, and will in turn relax your 'coming out of it' kids.

  Handing out candy

  growing up my parents would barricade our home off by parking vehicles bumper to bumper - you would have to crawl under the cars or over the bumpers to get to our door.

  also, we would turn off all the lights and hide in the back room away from the street.. that was the norm for me.

  isnt that insane?

  We would turn off all the lights and hide in the basement. I remember being terrified that children would knock on our door! So silly!!

  Tonight we went to a neighborhood in town that I had heard was mobbed this time of year...and wow, was it. It's fun seeing the kids and parents from school. Trick or treating is community! Then we came and hit our favorite spots near our house.

  Or those of us on the left will say it was caused by Fracking.

  Earth is amazing isn't it? When these destructive things happen it gets even more beautiful. Kind of like the Grand Canyon I suppose. Simple erosion over a long period of time caused by a river=breathtaking beauty. However this was mysteriously fast! Yep, demons. ;)

  HHH good observations. It's kind of a catch 22. Current elders getting burnt out and stepping down, so the remaining elders are getting even more burnt out, and nobody but fools wants this to happen to themselves, so they're not reaching out. Meanwhile those very burnt out elders are always told they're not doing a good enough job. I feel sorry for them, truly. What happens at the tipping point? Any thoughts? Maybe the more people leave, at least the fewer burdens for those remaining elders to bear.

  CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

  at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

  during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

  upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

  the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".

  7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

  for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

  Yep, simple solution: don't be a JW!

  Sabin, I <3 you and your poem!!!

  I would change only one thing-- I do want to see them again, AFTER they leave the cult!

  Your thoughts on Halloween , yes, no or maybe ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower

  well its that time again when the ghouls come out to play.

  i personally think halloween is a bit irresponsible and inappropriate from a sociological perspective.. there's something about the intent of frightening young impressionable children minds with frightening objests.

  and feeding them candy which most likely cause tooth decay and stomachs is irresponsible activity conducted by adults.

  It's Autumn, things are dying. I Think it was pretty natural for the ancients to think the barrier between the living and the dead was narrowest at this time of year. It's pretty simple, really. Thinker Bell im with you on the disgust of the grotesque. We do celebrate Halloween, but we keep it more a celebration of fall and warm colored cozy things, like candles in pumpkins and leaf decorations. The kids dress up as Firemen or Policemen. Trick or treating is a great neighborhood thing. It's pretty cool to see your neighbors in this way. We try to make the candy last, but honestly, you're only a kid once and we let them enjoy it. I hate the ugly stuff. There is enough real ugly stuff in this world and glorifying it is not what we do. I walked into a spirit Halloween store once and turned around and left. You don't want to know what I saw. But Halloween is what you make it, and you can easily keep it sweet and fun without the bad stuff.

  If you are a witness and are scared: YOU CAN GET OUT. The only power they have over you is what you let them have. You CAN get out and be free. Most of us here have done it. We have experienced loss, but have gained our lives. Stop the cycle as soon as possible. Don't let them gain control over your children. They DO destroy families, for their own gain.
