Innapropriate for young children? Scare tactics?

by The Quiet One in

gods word for us through jeremiah page 128 '..his mother bought a ram and a ewe.

he looked after them, and the ewe produced two lambs a year, so the flock began to grow..."early one morning while i was still in bed," he recalls, "i heard them bleating.

when i finally did, i saw a pack of wild dogs running away from my lambs, which had their bellies ripped open.

I will not allow my children to be tormented by such things. Breaking the cycle

Breaking the cycle and being "bad" the best way we know how...

Jury duty as a JW, were you summons for Jury service.

by jam in

for over 12 years i have been summons for jury service.. each year i receive a summons and each year my physician.

send in my medical excuse.

don,t get me wrong, i would love.

Here in Colorado I have been summonsed twice. The first time was when I was a JW. I was picked to serve and was happy to have the experience. It was a drunk driving case. No one in the hall gave me a hard time for not getting out of it.

The second time I was called to jury duty, I called the night before to see if my number was called. They send out so many summonses then the day before your supposed to be there they give out the Juror numbers that must show up. If your number is not called, you don’t have to go. My number was missed by 3 or 4. I wouldn’t mind doing it again sometime. I was not registered to vote the first time I was called to serve.

BOE Letter: Rules to deal with rules

by pixel in

as everybody jere knows, there is no requirement for a christian to "count and report" their time.

that's totally made-up by the wt/fds/gb, so, they have to make rules to deal with their own rules.... .

re: showing consideration for those involved in theocratic projects .

dazed but not confused

it sounds like they are getting complaints from reg pioneers about not fulfilling their obligations of hours and they (pioneers) are using the excuse that they are putting a lot of time in on cong builds, maintenance and the like... "lay off the pioneers" cries the WTBTS

Yep. They always struggle to get the territory done in this hall. Whenever they have these type of invites they are always pushing it to the last day to get em all out.

I got my memorial invite. Of course it was from the sweetest sister in the hall. Mrs Dazed opened the door and I saw who it was and came over to say hi. She said “Oh good, I was hoping you were home. Will you come to the memorial tomorrow night” as shes giving me a hug. I said “I can’t make it tomorrow” and she said “Oh please come.” She said with a sad face. I just smiled at her. She then asked if we minded if she parked in front of our house. We said “of course not.”

She’s the sweetest. Her son is an elder in the hall and is also the one elder I had respect for. At least I didn’t say what I was thinking…’no way in hell will I step foot in another hall for the memorial…’

The Mantan the lost tribe of Wales

by designs in

we have been researching our ancestry and so far on my father's side we have located the family land in wales in a little village called machynileth just off the coast of cardigan bay and our search dates to 1749. someday my son and i will visit our family-tree homesteads in europe.. legends develop in anyone's family and one of the curious legends was of an american native tribe called the mantan who lived near the ohio valley and wisconsin and later moved east to the dakotas.

what was interesting about the story of these peoples is that they were blue-eyed and some green-eyed with lighter skin and it was thought early on by anthropologists that some of their words were welsh.

it turns out they were not descendents of welsh explorers but they may have been the result of earlier encounters with europeans.

We had family members that fed, helped, sheltered and hid the Jesse James gang in the 1860's and 1870's. I always thought that a cool piece of our family history.

edit: this was on my dad's side
