Would you do this to your kids? Is this cold or am I crazy?

by BU2B in

my mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.

she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.

she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

KiddingMe

Rent it from the hardware store...that way if something happens to it, it will likely be covered by insurance. I can only imagine how much it may cost you if something happens to your in-laws tent while it's in your possession.

Writing campaign to Washington DC papers in view of International Convention

by Londo111 in

ive heard from a credible source that the landover (dc) international convention is important to the society in view of the 100 year anniversary of "kingdom rule" and the location being near the capital of the "seventh world power".

perhaps they hope this particular international sends a message.

we know that come convention time usually there is some feel good fluff piece in the newspapers about the watchtower religion.

Just trying to get some thoughts and ideas flowing. Searched the washingtonpost.com to get an idea of the kinds of recent stories mentioning Jehovah's Witnesses.

there's a few in re to the hobby lobby case. (Not touching those)

Here's a book review (not specifically about JWs but mentions it and religion):

this story talks about communal living but the JW moves out when halloween decorations are put up.

This story is over a year old but interesting. Maybe this columnist would be open to something.

Beards......the CO allowed this one!

by punkofnice in

a minny man in a local congregation has a beard...he was bullied by the elders to remove it.. then the co came along and told the elders to allow him to keep his beard.

(not as the result of any skin condition or anything).. i kid you not!!!.

what do you make of that?.

KiddingMe

Wouldn't it be wise for Br.'s (and Sr.'s) to invest in laser beard removal? Maybe not... just in case there is new light.

Punk- Does "minny" man mean he has no privileges?

Recently, the same happen to someone I know. No medical or skin rash issues either. Everyone gave him a hard time. The C.O. said leave him alone. But he has no privledges. This is in the U.S.
