did you ever get into just doing random underlines and notes and all that on your study wt or books just to look like you?d studied it without ever having even looked at it before?
.
God! Why did you guys have to dredge this stuff all up? (lol) Brings back some real memories, I'll tell you. I never did understand why you had to study for the Study. Most of the WT stuff is (was) so simplistic and repetitive, that you needn't study anyway.
What's next, preparing for the Public Talk from printed Outline? Crazy J-dubs....forever studying and never learning.
And the whole judging thing. Who pre-studied, who didn't. Man, I'm glad I'm clear of that stuff!

the 2 jw convension-halls in the netherlands have now a bank/credit-card accespoint to give contribution to the wts with your bank or creditcards.
do you know this happens in other country's?
it is really strange to see that brs&srs are giving donations with their visa & mastercards.
Sf, the Banks will charge the recipient a percentage for handling the transaction. At my store we get nicked 1.8%. But since the volume will be much greater with the WTS, the percentage could be even lower.
But since people spend credit card money more loosely, I'm sure the WTS is banking (pardon the pun) on the idea that donations will be UP! More so than when you have to part with some of Uncle Sam's finest.

when did the wt start having guards come out during the song and prayer at stadium conventions?
i noticed this at a convention in san diego, right before the song begins, a bunch of "brothers" come out and stand at key positions facing the seats, and scan the audience!
they remain until after the prayer, and they do not bow their heads during the prayer, but keep scanning the audience.
Gosh! Guarding the stage! You guys got all the fun jobs. About as close as I ever got was the assignment with another brother to station ourselves outside the Women's bathroom and watch for perverts. We were told that men were hanging around the ladies restrooms trying to sneek a peak whenever they could.
And see what? I thought. Young and middle aged women fussing with their young kids? Maybe catch a glimpse of women applying makeup? Woooooweeee. Actually, there was more to see near the stairwells!
At any rate we never saw anyone acting "weird". So we just visited with each other the whole time.

okay, so i've been trying to figure out what i can do to help jws out.
obviously, no one can force someone to think, but sometimes a thought-provoking question can get the gears turning.
so i hit upon this idea of placing ads in a weekly newspaper here in seattle.

A man went into a store to buy a shirt. He was directed to a display rack. The shirts were all plaid. They were all of one size. He was told not to look at any other racks, the seller knew which shirt was best for him. Finally he selected a plaid shirt. Did this man make a choice?
What does free will imply?
Simple allegory, but it may raise awareness.

Hey Seattle, excellent, excellent concept. Here's my contribution:

"If you let others choose for you....how can you say YOU'VE made a choice? Critically analyze their research."
Then add a link to previous quotes from the WT and obvious mis-fires.

i know that the issue of the man being beheaded by the iraqis has been discussed already but they just played the sound of the beheading on talk radio (shawn hannity).
this is absolutely horrible.....the sound of him screaming just makes me ill.
Just wanted to butt in here, after reading four pages. I'm of the opinion that Shaun Hannity is a entertainer type, a showman if you will, that happens to espouse some conservative values. He doesn't necessarily speak for me, or most conservatives. At times he's a bullying jerk, and I can't watch him. Just like O'Reilly. But at times, like anyone, makes a good point or two.
Just wanted to toss in my two cents regarding ol' Shaun.

ok, so its been five years since i've been a technically, active jw.
an older lady came by to see me today.. she heard about my surgery last week and was in the area so she dropped by to say hello and wish me well.
no jw talk at all till the end of the conversation.
Maybe new recruiting isn't going so well? And they need bods to fill the seats for the upcoming CO visit?

so there i was, entering the grocery store.
i walked in at the doors and they have the racks of free newspapers,.
.....there they were, awakes, half a dozen or so.
Wow! I really liked Concerned Mama's idea! Writing that website address and comment directly on the cover. So cool.
But I think I can even go it one better.
Why not stick a pre-printed label that has that same message on it right across the cover. I'll even make some for anyone who wants them. No charge. Just PM me.
Of course, you would have to have a small supply of them with you when you happened to come across these mags. So maybe the idea isn't so great.

there was some really piddily-crap that i remember.. for instance, when i was about 17 toe-rings became popular, and one of the sisters bought one....wore it to the kh during the summer with her sandals.
my best friend in the hall wanted one, which of course caused this huge debate about whether it would be okay 'in jehovah's eyes', and didn't it go against the scripture that counsels women against "bodily adornment", blah-blah-blah.
toe rings??!
Oh! I almost forgot.
Around that same time my '57 Chevy BelAire was adorned with one of those vinyl stickers. It was in the shape of a flower. (flower power, hippie influence?) At any rate my local PO told me if I was going out in field service that Sunday, he wouldn't be riding with me because of it.
