my latest addition to my thread "armageddon - jw speculations" got me thinking.
i was talking about jw's, and how they will avoid telling people at the doors that they believe they will be the only ones to survive armageddon.. i know when i was a jw, there was certain things that i was embarrased to tell interested ones about, and prefered to avoid the issue, or prance around it, trying to make it sound less harsh, or make me look like a complete nut.
when i talk to my jw family now, i notice there are certain issues that they will try to deny about the organisation, constantly.
I hated asking for donations
That was the one thing that embarrassed me in fact, I never asked.
Answering questions about the doctrines never was a big deal to me.
Like anything else in my life. If Im doing something I believe in, or believed in, whatever it may be, I am never so embarrassed that I can't talk about it. If I am then it simply means to me ...it's time to go.
my family will not be attending the march.
i respect bill and what he has accomplished, but i believe that attempts to control the march and the marchers, are misplaced -- even damaging for victims of abuse -- who have been controlled enough!.
the last thing victims of abuse need is to be told to keep up appearances.
I'm uncertain why some people think that Bill is trying to take control rather than remind any in attendance of what their purpose is for.

I thought more drinkers would respond.
i had a conversation with an active witness from the usa lately.
and when talking about child upbringing he stated that some children need a spank sometimes.
of course i was upset because of that, and i didn't thought witnesses was that stupid.
I cannot imagine my son calling me names. I can't fathom my son calling me names.
in a recent post by rado, he mentions a report on religious violence in georgia.
".....they filled the baptismal pool with diesel fuel.".
so i figured this probably happened once before, a long time ago, and was the reason for the ban on smoking.
support on any effort taken to rid him/herself of the addiction.
FAT CHANCE!
Giving support and helping a brother or sister kick the habit?
YEHRIGHT! A definite cold day in hell will that be.
Even if one asked for help all one would get is "PRAY MORE, Now excuse me I have to go out in service, sorry you can't go along"........ caugh
with working on client's projects and playing on this board i finally squished in some time in to finish my site.
it isn't anything fancy with animations and shockwave magic shooting all over the place like i have done in the past.
it is simple, clean, and straight forward boring html.. the work is just a small portion of what i have done over the last year or so.

The news caster was acting like he had never known this.LOL Maybe the news caster drinks too much and had a revelation

Meverginia you forgot about the group that's against women breast feeding saying it brings pleasure to the woman
Sorry Trauma_Hound I missed out on that one. But then I didn't breast feed either ;)

Children can be extremely emotionally battered with words.
Even though a child may not ever receive a spanking doesnt necessarily mean the same child is automatically NOT an abuse victim. I see parents all the time verbally beating their children and priding them selves on not spanking them.
