What kind of JW response do you think I'll get?
by Bubbamar in

2. family
in my moms last letter she stated that me, my sister and her should all just "move on" meaning put our hurts and anger behind us and work towards having better relationships.

however, in the same letter she clarified that disfellowshipping is "discipline" and she intends to continue shunning me.

so i wrote back asking her what "moving on" means for her.

i have visited several churches with family and friends and this is something that i cannot get used to.

i do not know if this is basically done in black churches or not ( i am aa) but it makes me a little uncomfortable.

the denbigh, virginia kingdom hall was destroyed by an accidental fire begun by a member who was welding and soldering pipes in a bathroom.

the insulation ignited and although he tried to extinguish the blaze, he was unsuccessful.

3 congregations used the building; now they have nowhere to meet and will have to rebuild.. http://www.dailypress.com/news/local/dp-36592sy0jun30,0,4261948

Latest Watchtower study... Still discouraging higher education!!!
by Doubtfully Yours in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
one of the paragraphs read that 'if in the area where you live you need higher education after you graduate, then the young person must speak with the parents in order to help them balance the schedule so that he/she doesn't neglect spiritual things'.

alright, i thought, that's a somewhat balanced point of view; i thought, good they're coming along with the times we live in.

yeah, right!!!

Do Your Witness Relatives Want You To Be Happy?
by Englishman in
1. jw
2. friends
or do they want the world to fall in around your ears so that you might "turn back to jehovah"?.

do they think that if you had less happiness in life you would be driven back?.

my mum once exclaimed very bitterly that i had "landed on my feet" too many times and that i would probably have been back at the kh if things hadn't gone so well in my life.. englishman.
