does anyone remember a watchtower saying that costume parties were inappropriate for christians?
i seem to remember that they were labeled in the "deamon" category, even if you had one and it had nothing to do with halloween.. is this true?
does anyone remember this crap?
You know, thinking back on it, the ONLY party I EVER got to attend as a witness was one single solitary baby shower and that when I was about 6 or 7. Sheesh, is it any wonder I can't cope. lol
BUT, I do have photos of a certain witness costume party in the Fall circa late 70's. Fonz was there as was some caveman dude as well as a particular relative of mine in drag. Oh, the shame of it all
we are having so much fun talking with everyone.
there are about 30 here tonight, and we just had dinner, ...............chicken on the bbq, coleslaw, and lots of good appetizers.. angharad, and "her ladyship" (also known as englishman's wife), and inky are in the hot tub, and there are little groups of conversation going on all over the house and outside on the deck.. cruzanheart, bigtex and sixofnine got here a few minutes ago.
there are 8 from england so far, including a very nice couple who were on my flight from atlanta.. several of us went out on joy and steve's big sailboat for several hours and it was so fun, and relaxing.. tomorrow we get ready for the big halloween party.
singing George Harrison's "Isn't It A Pity" to myself....
Glad everyone made it safely and having a blast. I just can't wait to see pics of everyone in costume!

Welcome What The...
There's lots to see on this site and a lot of folks that can relate to what you've told about yourself so far. I'm just on the welcoming committee but hang around for a bit and you'll find some help on here I'm sure.
i just finished watching martha stewart and after it went off there was a set of commercials before the news came on and i swear i just saw a commercial from the christian congregation of jehovahs' witnesses!.
it was about raising your children with knowledge and love.
it showed a teen girl on the internet in a chat room with a person who had become her best friend and wanted to meet her in person and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..'love builds happy familys' was the slogan or something.. .
and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..
might this include the promise that "soon" the world will be a perfect peaceful paradise with no war, no sickness, no death, no religion and absolutely most definately no apostates?? Just wondering
i'm here to report that there's a nest of apostates gathered at my house right now!!!
we have calamityjane, arrowstar, dfwnonjw, six of nine, elsewhere, valis, big tex, cruzanheart (of course, since i'm posting!
), and badger.
That was fun! Thank you Nina & Chris for the fantastic hospitality and food and yes, the Dr Pepper :) You really are the greatest!
Hootin', hollerin' and lots of laughter was shared by all and my oh my, what friendly beagles live there too.
And that was just a warm up! See everyone tomorrow.
i'm not asking for which dictionary definition you prefer, and i'm not looking for the borg's definition.
what i'm asking is what thought strikes you when you hear an xjw being called an "apostate".
that term makes me think.
well when you've seen some of the apostates I've seen there can be only one thought come to mind....
<Yes friends, another internet scratch off. Highlight to reveal answer>
PARTY!!!
can someone find the link to the thread with the latest illustration of armageddon?

whats the deal with the wachtower and the world trade center towers and airplanes ?

spiders!!!
i can handle any other bug, snakes, mice, etc....but get me near a spider, and i nearly have a breakdown.. this morning, i went to grab some clothes from the bathroom to wash, felt something crawling on my arm, looked down, giant, hairy, brown spider.
i still have the heebie-jeebies, and i probably woke up the neighbors.. *shudder*.
Tink, sorry about that :) I was just being playful, didn't mean to give you the willys heebie jeebies creepy crawlies ;( But just imagine if you'd actually seen the TV show! Ooops.
