  Now that sounds like being a JW...

  Microphone Problems

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  did you ever have a lousy microphone handler stick that darn microphone either too close or too far from your mouth?.

  how about when you had to read something in the bible or read your watchtower and the microphone was blocking your sight and you couldn't see what you had to read.. what other problems did you encounter with the mics?.

  I was told not to bother trying to answer at the meetings until I spoke louder as the microphone controller could not raise the volume up enough for people to hear me.

  I know a witness who had seizures brought on by post traumatic stress combined with head injury. The elders counseled her parents to get rid of all possessions that were not from other witnesses (especially from non-witness family members that were into unscriptural practices). Funny thing is the parents kept a car that was given to them by the same non-witness family member... The seizures did not go away even after all her “demonized” possessions were removed... perhaps it was the car after all! Too bad they don't give any thought to how this makes someone who has a medical condition feel.

  The journal is a great idea...friends of mine continued a video journal through there babies life - they videotaped him at birth and then now do about a 5 minutes segment each birthday - it is an amazing video to watch.

  Forgiving AND forgetting

  by Jayson in

  to me forgiving is not forgetting.

  forgiving allows me to go on with my life.

  but forgetting is something different.

  I agree with Big Tex

  Always found it amazing the societies push "forgive and forget" - yet I found it amazing that if one apologized/repented to elders it was enough...even if they never corrected wrongdoing or apologized to the person they had hurt/wronged.

  i finally got the courage to post on another thread - so figured i would introduce myself.

  oh and DJ - yeah I am lucky - but if you had siblings you would realize that it like all else has its moments. I have mostly found that the people I consider "family" are all adopted friends. Perhaps you have some like that in your own life.

  We've decided to have a baby! (Advice needed)

  by StinkyPantz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that many of you gave me the advice to wait until i'm done with school, but what can i say, i'm stubborn .

  please share your pre-pregnancy and pregnancy tips that either made things smoother or things you wish you has done to make things easier.

  i also want opinions on such things as epidurals, circumcision, nutrition, breast-feeding, money saving tips, etc.
