  Underlining the answers in the Watchtower magazines

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i found it funny how some people would literally underline just about everything in the watchtower magazine.

  the more the magazine was underlined and notes were written, the more a person looked spiritual.. did it ever happen that you didn't read your watchtower magazine, and you underlined just about anything just to look as if you read it?.

  Drugs?

  by be wise in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think this is my first debatable topic.

  for anyone who has experimented with recreational drugs or who knows about someone who has how do you think they can change you for the better as well as for the worse?

  i know a few ways in which they really changed me, i was very shy and never felt compfortable around people until i had my first experience and felt totally unhibited around a room full of people (talking in retrospect) and i never forgot what that felt like - it opened my mind and i learned to become much more confident.

  Bizarre Advice On Child Rearing

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  recently we looked this up, to show to someone who refused to believe that they would ever print such advice.. this was in the watchtower 1976 page 330. it was the lifestory of porfirio caicedo from columbia :-i recall a form of punishment that worked effectively on horacio, my fifth son, when the literal rod failed to do so.

  he was about eight years old.

  he was too insistent in associating with undesirable neighborhood boys.
