  My daughter and I are packing meals for nohungerholiday.com the day before and hopefully serving at a soup kitchen on Xmas. Still making calls to find one. One of our new traditions for first time Xmas. Then, we'll watch holiday movies :)

  To be directed by holy spirit is to be inspired.

  Sighhhhhhhh, the Draw Close to Jehovah book again for the Congregation Bible Study.

  check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".

  i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.

  at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

  Crazy JW urban legend

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a sure guarantee that this was bogus (really, any reasoning is required at all?

  ) was that it did the rounds applied to john denver, annie lennox and others.. basically, they relied on satan (oh yes) for their musical ability (i knew it) and any jws in the audience would be asked to leave because ... (drum roll) ... they blocked the signal to satan so couldn't perform with them present!.

  anyone else remember that gem?.

  Just last year, when I was still in, a sister relayed the Earth, Wind, Fire urban legend. So happy to be free of all superstitious nonsense.

  lovegrove, an ontario- based writer, was raised as a jehovah until she was 14 years old.

  in interviews, lovegrove has said that the story is not autobiographical, but the setting is familiar to her.
