fokyc: For a start you can remove the 'bow tie'. I had to stop using one when I was attending a UK congregation, not allowed

haha, interesting considering....

St George of England: Ron Drage (or was he DO?) always wore a bow tie. In Bethel in London these days.

Maybe it was the 'spinning' they didn't like?

BluesBrother: A Google image search took me to a dating site based in Kentucky, matchopolis.com , but I could get the link to open on this tablet.

could try this link......

stan livedeath: i strongly suggest he edits his post to delete his phone number

FWIW the phone number appears to be for a land line in Kansas City, Kansas, rather than the OP's Lexington, Kentucky....

Using personal car for their "service"...car is getting worn out

by Sugar Shane in

question: an individual (non-jw, let's say) loans a car to a jw family member, to drive for a year.

car is intended to be used for basic transportation needs.

the non-jw gets car back, only to find that it's basically been driven into the ground, racking up countless miles being used for d2d preaching, and shuttling other jws around.

darkspilver

Sugar Shane - unfortunately it seems like you know what you want the answer to be, and so are just trying to re-word the scenario to get that answer

As evidenced just a couple of days ago - people are becoming less religious and more secular.

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5653131794841600/_post/6535308520718336

People no longer ask: "What would Jesus do?"

Instead they ask: "What would Judge Judy do?"

TBH, I think Judge Judy would eat the car-owner for breakfast and spit them out.

What Type of Elder Body Did You Have?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was an elder in two different congregations and both were conservative and strict, especially congregation number one.

it was headed by a former branch servant as they were called back then.

all elders were by the book.

darkspilver

ToesUp: Ok....they didn't give a sh*t, is that better?

Haha. No. I think in terms of descriptive linguistics, the colloquial use of 'could care less' is empathetically better - that's the joy of the English language 'as-used' rather than requiring it to always confirm to the rigidity of grammatical 'rules'.

ToesUp: A bunch who could have cared less about anyone.

The joy of colloquial English?

konceptual99: Why is it US English uses the phrase "could care less"? It's "couldn't care less". Which of the following statements makes logical sense? "The GB could care less about the victims" or "The GB could not care less about the victims". **steps off soap box**

Three gen sex-abuse cover up in my fam; and other fun

by cyngz in

hi, first time posting.i got out about 10 years ago, but only beginning to reconcile with my trauma from being raised as a witness.

i am a professional writer, and never wanted my body of work to be prefaced -- 'oh the writer who broke free from being a jw,' but i've started the last year to now write about my experiences.

another reason i have held back is many of the victims in my family are still of the faith, and i've grappled with it is not entirely my story to tell or expose.context: the sexual abuse cover-up with my family goes back to the 50's over three generations of girls in a large extended family all raised as witnesses at the hands of an uncle, and protected by the elder body, ca, da, ontario branch of bethel, ny and so on.i grew up in a culture where the girls in my family would go 'off the deep end' at ages 16/17, and kept waiting to grow up for my turn to 'go crazy', which did happen at age 17 when i had my first manic phase and left the org for about two years.

darkspilver

cyngz: not sure what you mean by this?

I thought it was cool, that's all. Well, apart from Taylor Swift

Shame, but understandable, about Apostasy tho. Besides tickets are selling out I believe...

Hi cyngz

Welcome. You're in Toronto?!

Got your TIFF tickets yet for

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6224640852623360/apostasy-movie-directed-daniel-kokotajlo

It'll be interesting to hear what you think of it.

flipper: I'm a singer/songwriter myself

I believe cyngz is a transmedia storyteller:

"If I had a Super Hero alter ego I would be known as THE PIGEON w/ the super powers to shitpost all the live long day"

by The Searcher in

according to the org's website, various congregations will be moving in with other congregations, effective january 1st 2017.

(i've only highlighted a couple) in all probability, their own k.h.

is/has been sold.

darkspilver

JustHuman14: God that's a lot of cash.

Looks like this one is being sold for around £47,500 ( US $61,200 )

"Reduced for quick sale" !

http://www.barbararees.com/property_detail1.php?id=875

zeb: HM of these halls or any anywhere are built for so many occupants' but are being occupied by two or three times that many?

What do you mean? Occupied at the same time? (with a large congregation) Or occupied during the week? (with multiple congregations)

Repository for JW "experiences" with Hurricane Harvey

by sir82 in

jw
friends

it's only a matter of time of course..... jw rumor mills will start up soon, with stories of how jws were "first on the scene" as the flood waters receded..... how the red cross and/or us national guard and/or doctors without borders and/or [you name it] were marveling at just how "organized" the jws are..... how zealous jws were pulling their trolleys thru ankle-deep water to "offer comfort" to victims, by giving them - sandwiches?

bottled water?

to offer them comfort by giving them 16 page "magazines" to read in their spare time..... so as the stories start to come in, you can "deposit" those little nuggets of bs here.. once collected, we'll wrap them in a pretty bow and flush them away where other instances of pure manure go..

darkspilver

smiddy3 - thank you for your comments.

The OP Sir82 wanted to build a 'repository' of JW experiences with Hurricane Harvey - I am sure that, once collected, Sir82 will be able to editorialize everything within the context of the whole repository.

Therefore, as per Sir82's original request, I'm just posting here what I find/know about, without commenting (either for or against) - I'm just acting as the messenger.

Personally I do think it would be remiss of Sir82 to ignore the pictures I posted here - excluding the WT's own online and offline media - I believe those pictures will become the most widely distributed photos of JWs involved in Hurricane Harvey - and it is important that Sir82 does contextualize them within the comments you made.

Remember, those pictures appear to be popping up around the world....
