  Did you give your children 'Bible names'?

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. family

  i have to admit that we gave our first two kids 'hebrew' names.

  i don't want to identify my children online but suffice to say that we had at least some sense in that we opted for safe names of the samuel and daniel type - no melchizedeks!.

  however, in our city we had a javan a samson [gen 10:2] and even a zechariah!

  Back from the Memorial......Special Announcement at the end....

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the special announcement read at the end was an invite for any interested ones (tm) to ask if they wanted a bible study.....and that a special meeting will be held next sunday in all the congregations worldwide, and an invite was given for all to attend.

  i loved going and was good to see all the brothers and sisters again, the po who gave the talk made a bee line for me straight after the closing prayer, straight off the platform (i had to stand as there were no seats) and asked to speak to me, and directed me to the back of the hall, i thought here we go......jc convening shortly......but no he said the wt society in london had contacted him as i'd wrote them asking for the magazines, and he would be happy to drop by and had done, but never found me at home.

  so we arranged a date for him to call next week.. the hall was packed, and from my standing point i had plenty of opportunity to have a scan about, despite being horrified that their were brothers there who were betting looking than even me ( in my newly bought outfit!

  Memorial - those who go, how many will talk about attendance figures?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who do go to tonights show, how many of you expect to hear people talking about "beating last years record"?.

  when i went, it seemed that if we got 300 over in attendance, then it was a success.

  i think most congregations of 125+ seem to aim for the 300 number.. see how much of the talk centers around jehovah instead of jesus.

  Strange picture in this week's Watchtower on porneia?

  by eyeslice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  link to picture: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/file/7d83e711-da29-44aa-bde7-f74f9a3d79bd.ashx.

  the following caption appeared opposite the paragraph porneia (quote: "porneia includes such acts as oral sex, anal sex, and masterbating another person") what can happen if we ignore warnings?.

  now is it just me, but isn't the picture of the little boy trying to rescue his ball from out of a pond just a little weird?

  Does anyone remember those hideous murals?

  by Country Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from around 1964, until our congregation had a new kingdom hall built in the mid-70's or so, we had this mural behind the speaker's platform on the stage.

  it was supposed to be paradise.

  it had a nice range of mountains, a beautiful lake, and some flora and fauna in the foreground.

  Stunning Snapshots Cornwall In The Snow - Rare Event

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these pictures might take a while to upload the whole bundle to here, there be quite a few of them.

  so i'll do as many as possible on the first posting box, then the rest will appear in multiples underneath.

  therefore, if you wish to see all of them, you might need to come back to view them more than once or twice, if you get my drift.
