  Apparently Pinatas are ' no big deal'. What's next? Birthdays?

  by xjw_b12 in

  2. bible

  i always thought the society frowned upon the use of pinatas, if not discouraging the use of them all together.

  apparently the wts has decided to avoid insulting the brothers in mexico.

  from the september 22, 2003 awake.

  "Kingdom Melodies"

  by ignorance is strength in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why exactly are they so bad?

  are they afraid that a true orchestral and choral piece will glorify god too much?

  btw, can you think of any other songs that kingdom melodies sound like?

  they definitely need help, I wonder who writes them, or as it has been suggested that they are copied from other melodies from other churches.

  Any Advice - Afteraffects of taking the Reality Pill

  i have been posting on this board on and off for about two years now.

  it has been a tremendous help to me to read other people's experiences, to laugh, cry and just plain identify.

  however, something weird is going on with me in the last six months and i am totally freaked out.

  I think the sheer thrill of having control of my life, for the first time in my life, has carried me for the past year and a half. I have been on a kind of high, in the sense that I have so much hope for my future and am delighted to think I can use my talents to create a life I have always dreamed of.

  just keep this idea in your head and you will be fine, don't get too wrapped up in things you have no control of.

  Remind Your Relatives To Shun You!

  look, i get confused!.

  the problem is that witnesses these days are often so uninvolved and lacking in real friendship that i don't know if they're.

  shunning me or not!

  welcome kj,

  is it true that JWs are forbidden to set foot in any church other than the Kingdom Hall?

  as the watchtower puts it, nothing is forbidden, but it is strongly SUGGESTED that you probaly should not do such a thing and that it will bother your conscience. So otherwise DO NOT !!

  I need advice quick...and a hug.

  by dmouse in

  i'm in a bit of a state at the moment, my wife has just left me about 30 mins ago and took the kids...i don't know where.... ok, some of you long-timers may remember the problems i had with my son ben, who decided that the jw religion wasn't for him about a year ago.

  i supported him as best i could through that and he's developed into a fine young man with a more healthy spiritual attitude, investigationg a number of christian churches in the area and finally settled on church of england, which he really likes now.. although no longer a christian myself i have no objection to them pursuing whatever religious path they choose (obviously within reason).

  that has been the case with all of my children: ben, 15, charlotte, 14 and chloe, 12. i have never attempted to stop my wife taking them to the meetings although i have voiced to them privately my concerns about the religion.

  I'm still reading through the pages, I have no advice to give, but I am so sorry, no children should EVER go through this, I had a thread a week or so ago about how many of us were psychologically abused, and boy does this experience fit the picture.

  Why do people become so dependant on the Watchtower ???

  I feel for you and wish you the best, I hope you can work things out for yourself and most importantly for your children.
