((((((kent)))))))
Thanks! Of course this all helps,and Ill be printing it out to add to my personal folder.
I noticed in the other AidAfrique thread,it ws mentioned they do this work without making religious distictions. And that is in direct contradiction to the Awake article I'm seeking. The glaring statement'looking for JW's' imprinted itself in my mind,thats why I didnt forget that particular article.
I'm gonna go thru my stack here at home again. It has to be from the beginning of this year,or towards the end of the last one.
Thanks for all the data! luv,T

Greetings all!
Can anyone please help me out here?
Some time ago there was an Awake article about humanitarian aid in Africa. I remember making a post after reading it. I can't locate the mag. This mag is fairly recent. Last year or so.
This article had a pic of a vehicle w/ the WTS logo on it. It was on an African road.
What burned into my mind(that caused me to make a public comment) is that while the article boasted about providing aid, it specifically mentioned this aid vehicle looking for JW's only!!!
I do rememebr commenting how cold and cruel as that indicated they passed up women children elderly,ill who were NOt claiming to be JW's.
Anybody remember this one? And I wonder if this can be tied in w/ AidAfrique??? Thanks in advance.Tina

it's here, the feast of all saints.
the actual christian celebration behind halloweeen.
today's scripture readings for mass included revelations talking about both the 144,000 and the "great crowd" in catholic theology the "great crowd" is clearly in heaven, before the throne of god.
Hi Sirona,
I have several books on holday origins,but was wondering about pagan celebrations. I've read about it some,but would like to go deeper into it. I appreciate this.Thanks! hugs,tina

Mornin hun!
Thanks for replying.
I don't see where I called for anyone to reject any celebration....maybe it sounded like that. Not what I meant at all. What any celebrates or not is their personal decision. I was merely commenting on the history of celebrations. I dont' believe my view is narrow.:>
Well,as far as the church preserving history, an open objective reading shows thats not quite true.When one thinks of the libraries burned(thinking of the one in Alexandria in in 391,them declaring the fields of roman and greek medicine heresy. Education for anyone outside the church coming to an end,the suppression of the sciences which set humanity back as much as 2 millenia,etc.....
anyway,back to celebrations.Like I said,my interest in them is simply historical. I think celebrations at times are good in the sense that it provides family cohesion,opportunities to be with extended family etc.
I was thrilled to read your halloween experience. It's been great to watch your wife exiting the JW mindset!! I remember when you first started posting .The progress has been tremendous! But then,you're very patient and tolerant,and you've helped her so much. Just by being you :> Yanno the old adage,folks would rather see a sermon then hear one....I'm just pleased and happy for both ! And you know you are one of the christians I greatly admire and respect.:>
Luv ya ! Tina

who survived..."1975"...,i`m just curious,how many of us,are there?those of us that lived though this,will know what i mean.

well i guess wt is getting tired of waiting me out.
two elders showed up at my door on halloween.
they were not trick or treating, at least i think they were notat least they did not have candy bags.
Hi Bill,
I agree w/ Path and larc.It's driving them gaga . Because of your public stance,they don't quite know what to do with you,as it would garner even more negative publicity for the WTS.
I think filing a restraining order is a good idea. It will provide documenation to your being harrassed by them.
Just as they fight for and relish their freedom to approach people,so you to have the right NOT to be approached. Thank you for your continued hard work and sacrifices regarding the pedophilia issue. With much love and admiration,tina

Hi blue,
No,it's not jdubs who have this idiot notion to know origins of celebrations. Some of us are quite interested in religions,their beginnings and evolution. Ever take any classes in comparative religion? Religious history? Philosophy etc? Many degreed people out there have made this topic their life study. You don't get out much into academia do ya? lol This is also a board for debate. I can reply whether I agree or not. If I choose to comment on any given subject,I can.get it? lol
Try opening and scrubbin yours darlin before you make such assinine assumptions as to why people think the way they do. Get it? Yeru happens to be a friend of mine and I dont think he minds debate with me.

okay, hopefully this won't start a big riot (like the last time)...here's the deal, my cousin (now, please keep in mind, she is not a witness) had a dinner party at her house last sunday.
she invited 10 of her closest friends, with one catch, every person invited had to bring one person w/them.
the person could be male or female and they had to be someone who my cousin (the host) did not know.
Hiyas (slip)))))
Now there's some real stinkin thinkin there,'responsible for all who attend' uh that feeling may be appropriate for a party of lil kids. But to think that about adults? lolololol.........shakin head here. luv,T
