They are Sooooooooo Over-rated !!
by ScoobySnax inever listened to someone who goes on and on about someone or something (and i don't mean jehovah's witnesses here!
) like they were the best thing since sliced bread.....and try as you might you just can't see the attraction?.
my brother-in law must have every sodding elvis record/picture/memorabilia thing going, and he goes on and on about him.

I also think the Lord of the Rings is way over-rated too.
I will second that! Everyone I know just loves them, I fell asleep during the first one and didn't waste my time on the other 2. I'm still catching crap over it.

Walsh case, in Crisis of Conscience AND in JW Yearbook (1973)
by FreedomFrog in(again, this is dave, posting for gina) .
gina really thinks on her feet!
when she met with her parents, she brought up the infamous "walsh case" in crisis of conscience, where the watchtower higher-ups (including fred franz) had to give embarrassing testimony under oath about the watchtower's controlling methods and tactics.

Things kids say & do that bring a lump to your throat
by Simon inyou know what i mean ... when they do something **so** nice that you nearly start to blub !!.
the other day angharad had gone out and i was joking with the kids that with mum gone, they could have a pint of beer with me if they wanted (to see what they would say).. liam (7) told me in an earnest voice "dad, i don't think i'm old enough to drink beer yet.
i think i have to be 16" (16 = grown up to him for everything ... he's already sussing out how old he needs to be to drive).. well, i told him how i was proud he was so sensible and wasn't afraid to stand up and say "no" and that i was really looking forward to when he was old enough to take me out and buy me a pint of beer (ok, father-son moment ... i was getting emotional already).

Guilty Fast Food Pleasures
by Swan inokay, what is the one fast food that you just love, but are a little ashamed to admit to?.
a detective character (sue grafton's kinsey milhone) in some mysteries i read has these guilty fast food pleasures.
just about every day she runs for miles on the beach, but then she is invariably ends up ducking into the mcdonald's drive thru with her little vw and scarfing a big mac or quarter pounder.

JWs and charitable work
by kj ini've read on here several times about how jws are discouraged for doing charitable work for anybody other than jws, and that they are discouraged from contributing financially to non-jw charities.
are there some references to this in their literature that someone could point me to?.
also, i had a discussion with a jw about a recent relief effort some jws did in florida.

does anyone else know something about this? I really am curious as to whether the WT makes a profit by doing this. Thanks.

Also, I had a discussion with a JW about a recent relief effort some JWs did in Florida. They said that some JWs went to Florida after the hurricanes hit, and they went to help fellow witnesses repair their damaged homes AND that the society paid for the materials. They said that the brothers did the labor for free, and the society paid for the materials, and in return, when the homeowner's insurance came through, the money is supposed to go back to the society. Now, here is my question- since the labor was done for free, doesn't the society stand to make a profit if all of the insurance money is paid to them? I'm not sure how that works, but wouldn't an insurance payment cover labor and materials? Can someone please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly?
By the way, Merry Christmas to all of you!
