  Anyone remember LP album circa 68 with Awake on back cover?

  by cabasilas in

  i have a memory of some rock artist of the 60s placing a pic of herself and some guy in bed and her reading an awake magazine on the back cover.

  it could have been "is time running out for mankind" or something like that.

  anyone remember?

  Wow!

  And of ALL the articles to choose, it had to be that classic one with the now infamous quote about not getting an education, because "this system will be well on its way to completion before you graduate"

  Oh wow...

  so i've just skived off to the car park half way through our assembly day - what a classic morning.. i'm sat right behind an early-teen kid with some sort of special needs (autistic?

  ) who's sat with what looks like his late-30's harassed single parent mother.

  (or married to an unbelieving mate?

  Smart kid!

  He sounds like the young boy in the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. He actually stated the obvious, while everyone else just kept quiet and complied....

  Listening to the meetings from the perspective of a "newly interested" person?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  just wondering how many others (when you were still in the org) would try and listen to the meeting programmes from the perspective of a newly interested person visiting for the first time?.

  i know that i did this, and most times i did, i found it disturbing!

  it was not just the "in-house" language and terminology that was odd, but also the actual doctrines, and method of 'teaching' that was odd!.

  Berrygerry: I remember a hipster at a convention. He left about 15-20 minutes in.

  Haha..maybe it was because he didn't like the talks that condemned Beards and Tight pants? 😬

  “best life ever” is displayed at watchtower farms, near pine bush.

  the jehovah’s witnesses' maze is a work of devotional art, and not intended for exploration like the pagan ones made for hudson valley tourists every halloween.

  A disgusting and demeaning "joke" on many levels....

  If that is your style of "comedy", you will quickly alienate much of your audience....

  Normal things you missed out on as a kid (besides holidays)

  since me and my siblings had to go to service every saturday, and i mean every saturday, i missed out on something so normal as watching good ole saturday morning cartoons from the 70's and 80's.

  i remember wishing i could stay home just one saturday so i could watch cartoons.

  but noooo we had to go save lives!

  Great thread!

  This actually has touched me deeply in a way I had not expected. But I'm feeling very angry and upset over all the lost opportunities we faced.

  All your comments have struck a chord...

  To adapt and use a well known expression from witness history:

  "RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH the Society and its Teachings"

  The Information Age with access to the internet, makes it impossible for any honest hearted person to remain ignorant.....
