In our area, a number of sisters had necklaces of the tetragramaton. No different from wearing a cross IMHO.

on page 105 of her book awakening of a jehovah's witness, diane wilson writes that she knew many witness women "who wore a charm of a watchtower on a necklace as an outward symbol of the organization, the source of their salvation".. i have never heard of this practice, and i find it difficult to believe.
can anyone verify that this indeed is true, that at one time it was common for jw women to wear watchtower charms?

hello hobbits.
having had to make some public transport arrangements of late as the nsx is in the workshop enjoying a makeover and lube, i have been exposed to the wittings on walls, often found in public toilets.. today i found myself a guest at a train station cubicle on the way back from work.. as i sat on the ' throne ', i decided to make some note on the masonry wall, as to my state of mind at the time.
i wrote something to the effect..... ' and the daemon before vanishing uttered his last three words then fled.."god is dead ".
Stand close, it's not as long as you think.
***ducks and runs***

what does creationism explain?.
what does it predict?.
what about blind cave fish with residual eyes.
All I know is, I was not there at the beginning, so anything I could come up with is pure speculation. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yep that Steve Martin is one "wild and crazy guy".
Seriously tho, I will not wear shoes if they are not comfortable unless there is a very good reason to wear them, and then only for short periods.

do you really feel that you are a nice person or an unlikeable one?
when you were in a congregation, did you tend to get along with people?
were you contentious?
I don't know about nice, but I was called sweet in chat this morning.

while sitting on a mountain lake in the summer in the oregon mountains, i took the moment to see what a beautiful place it was.
it had pine trees growing right to the shore, and sat at the base of mount pitt, which is a striking mountain on it's own with a majestic peak and steep angled descent on both sides.
the mountain wind blew by and set this peaceful lake into a rippled affect that looked like a natural show of energy moving from one side of the lake to the other.
Ken,
Your posts are always so well thought out and thoughprovoking. I enjoy them very much.
Thanks for sharing them with us.
