page 19 disturbing news reports and your children.. what is the governing boby's point?that children under 13 should not watch news because of the violence?.

how about some disturbing news reports from the bible.

ishbosheth gets his head cutoff.. david kills 200 men and cut thier foreskins off (6 years old asks what are foreshins?).

"The lesson? Make sure that you and
your children maintain a balanced perspective
of the news. The fact is, many
calamities are viewed as newsworthy
because they are relatively rare—not because
they are common."

As bobld pointed out, the bible is full of violence against children. How many times did the Israelites wipe out an entire city? What about the scriptures about starving parents boiling their children? Sheesh!

Oh, but wait, I'm wrong. Jehovah is a god of love.

by lil.lady.03 in

ya know what!

i'm tired of being polite and nice to jws.

esp when they try to shame you to your face with a smile.

She said she read the text a few days ago and the topic was about those ppl who have left the truth and their probably ashamed of themselves and regret their decisions and all they need to do is talk to the elders.

Jersey City Assembly Hall

by MC RubberMallet in

during my first few years at bk, i spent a significant amount of time at jcah.

i am really trying to make at least one connection with someone i know personally.

lol.

My brother and sister-in-law were Bethelites and worked there a couple of times - Long is their name. They're still in the Borg.

I visited a couple of times. Beautiful, but a lot of money spent on fol-de-rol, IMHO.

One Random Dude's Conclusion about the WTBTS based on an Awake he Got

by AuntBee in

jw
friends

we just chat occasionally through my blog.

i've tried several times to tell him stuff about the wt, but he's in that know-it-all stage, and prefers talking to listening.

oh well... here's his take on it, after receiving an awake.

cobaltcupcake

Please. Back in the 70s they had an article in Awake entitled, "Are You Plagued With Loose Bowels?" and another, "The Mighty Carrot."

Yeah, that ought to have 'em flocking to the KH!

Quendi: I have to wonder how many other disfellowshipped individuals are torn between their desire to fellowship again with friends and family and their desire to hold on to the freedoms they now enjoy.

No contest.
