Epic FAIL! :( My sister is gone from me.
by Faithful Witness ingot this email from my sister today.
there is a lot of back story, and this isn't a surprise.
it will be interesting to see how it affects the rest of the family, if they hear about it or not.

That's really shocking, since you weren't a JW and I see so many others not shunning at all, per the GB instructions.

Generosity in the world

Nice experience. I like to pay for the coffee of the person behind me. I've had it done many times For me.
Many "worldly" people follow the Pay it Forward motto. Too bad most JW's prefer to help their own (even then, not much) and not those of the community they live in.

New Study Exposes Acupuncture As Pseudoscience
by alecholmesthedetective inbesides it being pseudoscience, what interests me about this is that even though it's something to do with the "qi" energy flowing in our bodies, that wasn't a problem for some members of my family or a special pioneer i knew.. new study exposes acupuncture as pseudoscience.

I have gone for acupuncture quite a few times. I feel less stressed after it so that works for me.
Cofty, I love that chart! I'm going to print one out and out it next to my logical fallacies chart.
I started doing yoga with meditation last year. It was somewhat of a last resort, in dealing with a difficult teen. The meditation made a huge, noticeable difference in my demeanor and became an excellent coping skill.
My daughter had some sore back issues and after two visits to the chiropractor she was back to normal. She also tried acupuncture And says she saw no difference.

I am under the impression JW do not celebrate NYE, is that correct?
by nonjwspouse inmy husband on his own went out and got fireworks for our daughter and her friend to set off tonight.
he did this with no prompting at all from me.
in fact, i get nervious around fireworks, so i grimiced a bit when he told me.. but, wow, again, if this is another step showing he is not allowing himself under the complete spell of the wt.

Secretly, many in the 20-5o range do celebrate.

Goodbye to all
by abiather ini say goodbye to all of you because of the tremendous pressure from my family members who are jws.. anyhow, i enjoyed my association with you for a short period!
it is part of life, as the bible says: we are all temporary residents here (hebrews 11:13).
this is my favorite scripture that has helped me to remain always balanced and equi-poised, helping me not to be greedy towards things or people expecting from them too much!.
