  god grant me the senility to forget the people i never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones i do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

  now that i'm 'older' (but refuse to grow up), here's what i've discovered:

  i. i started out with nothing, and i still have most of it.

  since i have found this forum i have been doing a lot of online looking, particularily spying on what the dubs have to say about all the negative attention they have been getting in the news of late and through the internet in forums such as this.

  i did a quick search on msn communites and came across over 70 online jw communities.

  one particular posting on one community (#1 rated jw community on msn if anyone desires to look it up) i read a message thread on depression.

  So the children would not feel left out???

  this has to do with halloween...now personally i think halloween should be cancelled all together and that a whole other topic, so here is my comment and question.... while i was with the dubs...halloween was approaching, of course we know halloween is frowned upon in the organization to the point when halloween approaches talks are given to extent and that is perfectly fine.

  however the alberta congregation i was involved with, every halloween, on, before or after the 31'st, depending what saturday it suited the majority..they would hold a candy hunt for the children.

  i asked one of the sisters why they did this, as they frowned upon the occassion, yet promoted it in a small sense through their candy hunt.
