  Nice conversation

  hello everyone i just wanted to give a litte update on what happened today with my tolerant, but still active jw wife.

  she was at the sunday morning meeting today and when she came home she told me the wt study was about the revised overlapping generation setting.

  there has been some tension whenever we discuss my differences with current wt beliefs so i was surprised she brough this up.

  No win situation at the moment.

  Will keep you posted.

  Are my children in danger of being indoctrinated if I let them spend the night with their JW family?

  so... i'm writing because i have mixed feelings.

  keeping my kids safe is my goal... until they are old enough to understand and reason on their own.

  my mother gave me the tapes (that i gave her back in december) of combating mind control by steven hassan, saying that she didn't have a tape player... reminded me of three years ago when i gave her crisis of conscience by ray franz and she said it's to big book to read and she's not a reader.

  Okay, guys. How about early doors at the pub???

  No, seriously. My son doesn't come to church with me. He goes to rugby or a mega bike ride with a pub lunch at the end.

  A pub lunch.

  A Sunday pub lunch.

  Roast beef, roast potatoes.......Red wine.

  Bluesey, you are naughty.

  I usually buy the ready-made from Tesco but it's getting quite expensive now. Hence, I want to make my own.

  What is the point of Judicial Committees??

  i've had 2 jc's, both resulted in reproof.. but.....in church, the vicar asks us do reflect quitely on anything that we have done that we're not happy about and to ask for forgiveness in our heart.

  knowing that jesus will forgive us, if we are sorry and have faith in him.

  good.

I have made my peace with God.

  WHY then do we have to have JC's??? How do 3 imperfect men know what is in your heart?? They elevate themselves to the level of God and Jesus and that, in my mind is "brazen conduct", bordering on blasphemy. So there!!!!

  What JW beliefs did you used to hate trying to defend?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as one of the jw "young ones" i was always expected to witness to my friends at school if i wanted to make god's heart glad or whatever but i didn't.

  the closest i ever got was just explaining why we didn't celebrate christmasetc.

  even then i was just reciting things i read in publications.. one topic i always tried to avoid talking about was birthdays.

  The inevitable memorial invitation

  by Really?! in

  i knew it was coming.

  i'd managed to swerve it once already when i saw the paper invite laid out all special in my mothers kitchen when i arrived at her house..i avoided the kitchen for the rest of the visit.. had the family over this weekend, we were alone whilst preparing food and i knew from the second that the tone in her voice changed what was coming.

  the usual words along the line of "i invite you every year, i've got the paper invite to give you as well (like that would make a difference?!

  Please excuse me if I offend anyone.

  I hated the Memorial.

  It felt like a funeral.

  Much nicer services in the church I go to now.
