if i were a long haired carpenter that like mucking around on boats and spending my free and easy life of poverty engaged in kind and helping acts, would the elders think that i should be more like jesus, like them?
.
Just me probably being a completely clueless freakazoid .. but I never noticed any time in the bible that jesus actually worked with wood other than being called a carpenter. In fact the only time I imagine jesus holding any wood was when he was put to death.

Ps I wonder if Jesus played with his wood.
my wife went to the convention yesterday and brought back the new book for children 'learn from the great teacher'.. it's certainly much better than the old pink book, larger and more colourful, even if the pictures have a 1950's feel to them.
the introduction mentions that there are questions throughout the book that you should ask children to find out what is on their mind... saying ' true, the child may come out with with answers that are not correct.
but the printed material that follows each question is designed to help the child to develop wholesome patterns of thinking'.... 'wholesome patterns of thinking' eh?
Dedalus, could you please not forward me things that bother you about the society's publications, being that I am someone who reads and follows the society's beliefs? Thanks, I feel it puts me in an uncomfortable position with you and the others who receive the email, being that I am a witness.
Thanks.
So she feels uncomfortable about being a witness, how unusual.

according to the new society book 'learn from the great teacher' it looks as if pocahontas will be resurrected!.
I have studied art for years Elsewhere and it's amazing how many seemingly countless things you can spot such as this 3 finger configuration.

because... the leaves of such tree... were for curing.
curing what?
had adam reached the tree and ate... he would have been cured of his sins and once again become sinless.
Aguest, next time you talk to Jesus can you ask him who I am and why am I on this Earth ?
And also ask him why my prayers were never ever answered despite my crying myself a river of tears and crumpled on the ground sobbing for help?

many of you that i have become friendly with on this board will probably know the story of me and my jw girlfriend.
for those that don't, here is the lowdown:.
three and a half years ago i met my girlfriend, and everything seemed great until about two or three months later she told me that she used to be a jw (and that her brother and certain other family members still were).
I can't see any easier way to break it off with her than to simple tell the truth as you have here in your thread.
I don't agree at all with Maverick at all with this comment :
And will this ladies attitude get better or worse? Looks come and go but attitute is for life, and what kind of life are you looking forward to with this Dud? She will punish you my friend, you will in time hate her guts. Pack! Maverick
People attitudes change as they need to, if attitudes didnt chage then I imagine nobody would stop being a Jehovahs Witness ever.
I don't think you can base a past experience either to this girl you don't know either maverick, you don't know if she will punish him.
Whatever you decide figureheaduk, I hope it is the best decision you can make and as painless as possible. God knows how I would cope in your situation, but you seem to have your thoughts together.

even in my hardcore active jw time i had no use for the jw calendar.
i ordered it each year and put it into a drawer.
most months were really ugly illustrated and it was completly useless without the holidays.
Ugh my mum used to always get them and put them up on the wall. I, like you thought they were completely ugly. I could have thought of alot more fun designs even with a JW completely limiting theme. I also thought it was stupid how they didnt show public holidays and most people that I knew had them up wrote down all the public holidays.
So in a nut shell, yes they were ugly, no they didnt make sense and no I would never even have looked at them twice if mum hadnt of purchased them.
