Undecided, it's decided. She's beautiful. Keep the camera rolling 24/7, it all goes to quick. Glad she is in good health now.

Need advice

my 17 year old brother is a model witness for the local congregation.

he's been baptized for a couple of years now.

my jw mom is quite liberal...she has allowed us kids to play sports, be in school plays...etc.

Seems like you have nothing at all to lose by just talking with him about it. There is even the chance that you could say something that will let him see it from another perspective, maybe even give him something to allay the guilt feelings he is no doubt having.

i've been a witness for 6 years.

when a sweet pioneer sister came to my door and i started studying i never thought i would become a witness.

Welcome Jurs.

It's a nice feeling, isn't it.

When it falls, it falls fast. There is no going back.

Enjoy your freedom.

ok all you unwelcome one wannabee's here it is - .

unwelcome one at jw.com official checklist.

1)has janh & comf overruled charter 19 of the universal declaration of human rights & run crying to simon posting a request for your deletion from jw.com because you expressed ideas contrary to their "idea" (singular)?.

To put this another way, for all the high talk and scientific posing that happens, it
appears that we know bugger all about what is really going on.
Since we know bugger all about what is really going on, it never ceases to amaze
me just how arrogant and dogmatic people can be.

Well said, Bugeye, and timeless words too, don't you think? Your words would have made just as much sense in the year 1901 as they do today. Maybe more.

Still, I have to think that some people, the ones paying attention, will know a little more tommorrow than they do today. Seems like 'round here, there are some people paying attention, and some people just spending way too much time at starbucks.

You aren't confusing people who have simply studied much, out of simple human inquisitiveness, with arrogance are you? And if those poeple get a bit frustrated with other people, who have fairly good mental quickness, but no real inquisitiveness (ie. they test well, and they talk loud), we can understand their frustration, can't we?

Ps. Goo, why do you call yourself an "unwelcome" one? One or two people, themselves new to the board, and not working in any official capacity in regards to the board, make you feel unwelcome? Some of the things you have said on the board have made me believe you aren't stupid. So, again I have to ask, why the theatrics?

It's not as if starting a bunch of dumb-ass, irrelevant-to-anything-of-substance new topics everyday is good for the board from anyones perspective.

are you sitting down?........PRINCE is a JW!!!!!

hello all, registered just to post this and see what you all had to say about this.

i, for one, am in shock.

it was anounced today on "extra" and they said we would soon see a change in his music because he was "marrying his music to his religion.

Keep dreamin' Jim, lol. A high pitched voice does not a gay man make, you should know that. And while I'll grant you that the man does like to dress up, his complete lack of taste solidly affirms his affiliation with team hetero.

I guess I am a little surprised, if he has indeed taken the plunge, but it just goes to show that at the end of the day, JW-ism (as all religion is) is only logical as far as emotion can be logical. No matter how much we thought we were in the "reasonable" and "logical" religion, it all came down to how we felt about it. And that is so often ruled by the particulars of our life at the moment, and how much we admire the person(s) selling it to us.

Final Observations

by Esmeralda in

i'm an observant person.

i became that way back in what i call the 'wallflower years' of my life, when i could very easily blend into the woodwork of any room i walked into without anyone looking up.

i became a student of human nature and watched how people interacted, and that study has come in handy at many points.. sometimes, though, i don't realize when i'm opening a can of worms.

SixofNine

Hey Essie, my special little sister, don't let the screen door hit you on the way out. I'm counting on seeing your name on the big screen sometime, be sure and tell us when you land your first big role! And keep taking those drama lessons! They are definately working.

Should Christians charge interest?

interspersed amidst the text of the five gospels are short cameo essays about topics related to subject matter at hand.

one that caught my eye is called hard sayings softened:.

hard sayings are frequently softened in the process of transmission to adapt them to the conditions of daily living.. luke 6:30a give to everyone who begs from you.
