While being an active JW, did you throw away Watchtower literature?

i remember that magazines and books came in faster than i could read, it was accumulating fast.

in my first years, i didn't dare throw away anything.

even later when i was starting to cool down, i still had mountains of books, magazines and brochures.

Yes, no problem there, I paid for it so I can do what I want with it
I still have an Aid Book with my name on it, my folks gave me it when I got dooked, I don't use it but it would seem wrong some how to throw it out

A nice wee Lotto win would be nice thank you very much, then the UK curry fest would be easier to say yes to

What were your seating habits at the hall?
by JH in

2. friends
i would always leave a space between me and someone else.

i hated when someone was seated right next to me.

didn't feel comfortable.. i also loved sitting in back of a tall person, that would hide everything, like that i could close my eyes and the speaker wouldn't notice.....lol.

Sound duty sat at back kiddin on I was a DJ
On platform for WT reading duty
If not doing any of the above sat anywhere
Kids came always at back and told off for reading too many kids books and not paying attention

Good grief Tijkmo you have rang a few bells there I can tell ya
Gordon Webb, John Flack, John Andrews, Ray Midgley, Alistair Campbell to name but a few stayed at our place when they visited, it was a bummer as I had to give up my room for them, oh and Michael Reid as well
Ray was a header indeed big Al's wife recounted stories of Brazil and how shoes she got repaired became possessed and she had to throw them out
Some funny stories but also some sad stories
Who was the big heavy guy with the bald head that sadly passed away a few years back? He married a younger sister if I remember correctly
Scott from Riddrie went on temp circuit for a while if I remember

i read parts of that wt.

all about weddings.

to sum it up, you can have zero fun.

It was an older bod that jumped in but I mean where do you draw the line
I had to laugh at "whose scandalous life-style grossly conflicts with Bible principles", I guess that must be what we are doing as we are not welcome at family weddings as I posted ages ago, crazy
We are sooooooooo glad to be out of it now

At my wedding the band started to play the twist at which point an elder ran over and said you can't play that song here, sorry.
I went over to him and asked him to keep his nose out but he said we couldn't have an African sex ritual type song played at the wedding, have you ever heard anything so stupid?? I was looking forward to getting jiggy later and was hoping that might put me in the mood

My thoughts as well bad boy, surely there were other places they could go to get access to books instead of the UN??
Do they need books anyway, any quotes I have seen are usually mis-quoted and out of context with no reference so the reader can look them up???
By there acts you shall know them! How true
