since the memorial is coming up soon and its about time for me to go shopping for a new memorial ( aka easter) dress, i've realized what the memorial really is for us teenage girls, a beauty pageant!
the memorial is the day i spend painting my nails, curling my hair, and carefully applying makeup because my mother says i have to "represent jehovah" and look my best.
in reality its just to impress the newcomers and to compete with the other girls.
I think the JW memorial dress ups were fun for an entrance but awfully uncomfortable and impractical for a whole meeting.
Skirts that ride up, stockings that pinch, constantly checking cleavage to make sure your boobs aren't starting to escape over the top of your bra lest you get the evil-eye from an old sister or the leer-eye from one of the emblem server brothers. Ugh!! The lame vanity of it all!! So glad to be out.

Good point Tenacious!
Sorta like the WT version of "But you didn't return my Heil Hitler!"
hello friends - here is a new area in the kids section of the jw website - learn how to draw rahab.. 1st - she was a prostitute of jericho.
could there be other characters to talk about with our kids?.
2nd - it says "learn how to draw rahab".

Rahab, Jael, Jezebel, there are just sooooo many great female role model/stereotypes in the Bible to choose from where do you start.
when i grew up in the 1980's -90's it was rare to see a faithful slaves picture in 10 years of watchtowers.
everything was anonymous.
no one really knew there names except for the "holy oricle" fred franz.. now they are full on t.v stars with there own show.
Was there a rockstar pope x-factor audition we haven't heard about?
lets say..an assembly is arranged at a stadium for 30,000 jws to meet.
now lets say only about 1,000 jws show up.. do you think the show would go on?, or do you think it would be canceled because it would not generate enough money?.
They would announce in the accounts report aka the "sermon on the amount" that the deficit in expenses for the assembly stands at $29,000, so dig deep brothers and sisters.
ok wow.
i am really really pissed.
i had to really hold back and bite my tongue.
Dropping in unannounced and claiming "they were just passing by" is one of JWs favourite weapons.
Catch you in an unguarded moment, have you at a disadvantage etc. I view these drop in visits as a kind of spiritual litmus test designed to gauge how hospitable and receptive you will be to them, so they can measure that all important spiritual "health." I hate them too, so intrusive and rude. Like the secret police turning up at the door.
Though, if you are trying to be reinstated it's not completely unexpected, that they would call in.
i have just finished watching the latest episode of i am cait!
lol yes i watch it!!!
they were discussing politics.
Wasn't the whole "this board is the hatiest board on the internet" thing done about a month ago?
this is good news.
the wt have lost in their attempt to stop the uk charity commission's inquiry into their affairs.
however, the wt is still digging in their heels about turning documents over to the charity commission.https://www.gov.uk/government/news/court-of-appeal-gives-judgment-in-court-case-by-jehovahs-witness-charityjudgment handed down by court of appeal in legal challenge to charity commission inquiry opened in 2014.today, the court of appeal handed down its judgment regarding the commission’s statutory inquiry, opened in 2014, into the watch tower bible and tract society of britain (the leading jehovah’s witness charity in the uk).
God I would so like to WT's charity status challenged everywhere, how the hell did they ever qualify?
They do squat for the community, are anti-education, anti-family, anti-choice, anti-voting, hell, just about anti-everything!
Yet Joe and Jane Taxpayer subsidizes it all, while WT does snow-angels in it's money!
Bring it on UK Charities Commish - investigate the hell out of them.
