minimus mentioned in the "apostates are infiltrating the congregations" thread that the meetings used to be interesting, with skits and such, and you know, i had forgotten that!
but they were interesting many years ago!.
we had humorous skits and attention-getting skits, and a lot more slide presentations way back when.. so this made me think of a talk that was very highly requested in our area, titled above.
Wow! So that talk really was unique, and as one sister told me, the brother who gave this talk apparently had altered some other outlines to include music also, and may have gotten into "trouble" for it. How dare he try to make the Sunday meeting enjoyable!
I bet most of you guys thought this thread had some kind of preachy content, when you read the title.
Nope!
you live in california when.... 1. you make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.. 2. the high school quarterback calls a time-out to answer his cell phone.. 3. the fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.. 4. you know how to eat an artichoke.. 5. you drive your rented mercedes to your neighborhood block party.. 6. when someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will .
take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.. .
you live in new york city when.... 1. you say "the city" and expect everyone to know you mean manhattan.. 2. you have never been to the statue of liberty or the empire state building.
Oh! Those are hilarious lists. Loved every word. All the lists.

if the local jdubs decided to enter a float in the 4th of july parade, what would it look like and what theme would it follow?.

It might depict the library of a Boston Kingdom Hall, with the Android Elder Figures dressed up like early-American Tories, admonishing some guys dressed up like early American "Indians" that they must accept, and even enjoy, taxation without representation from their Motherland and King, to whom they owe unquestioning loyalty.
And they must dress more like Tories, and clean up all the tea.

for some time, i've been contemplating doing a solo album, but i had no clue exactly what i wanted to do.
lately, i've been recording me singing to some karaoke discs (which will end up on my website).
the other night, it struck me.
"Sounds" great! Can't wait!
Dontcha just love talented people?
Oh shoot! I forgot! I was going to have lots of talent in the new system. Now I'm going to have to go back to the meetings....
governing buzzards ?
changes in religious doctrine, dogma, cannon, practices, liturgy and ritual are common and almost all christians have witnessed this in their denominations ?
including fringe groups like jehovah?s witnesses.
I love it, Amazing and larc - thanks. Great stuff.
Rutherford probably never slept with her, as perhaps he was impotent.
