i think any jw who is prepared to "man" one of those literature stands in public must be a brick short of a full load---and hardly be likely to engage in a sensible discussion. not far removed from holding up a " the end is nigh" placard

The Days if Noah - Is this the new unofficial generation?
by cofty inedit - "the days of noah" damn!.
long story short - i need to go to bed!
i was in edinburgh today with my wife (football, coffee, walks, food, cinema) and i always try to take 10 minutes to have a chat with the jws on the trolley in the "big city".. i challenged an older guy who turned out to be an pioneer about the generation.

cock-hold----ha ha-----how true--in my case.
back in my latter 20's--i had resigned from the religion--but my born-in wife sure had a hold on mine. she would nag me into attending a public talk once in a while. this often included a quickie beforehand. but i kept my side of the bargain.

more names from the 60's / 70's.
graham carmichael--and his wife honor. a very funny little guy--always cheerful--especially when pissed.
oliver macdonald--a real odd guy--with even stranger ideas.
peter ellis---in london bethel now ( i read )---along with ron drage.
bill bull
what i dont get is--some of these were very bright guys--i wonder what goes through their minds now as they look back over all those wasted years.

Ken Richmond used to stay at my parents house in birmingham ( UK ) in the 70's. i met him once. he is dead now.
elsewhere i read that Bevan VIgo is now at the London bethell. although he called the brothel back in his CO days. another wasted watchtower life.

Circuit Overseer's Cars - Anybody got the answers?
by The Searcher inatlantis provided a uk branch letter regarding a 3 levy per publisher to pay for the britain branch c.o.s 85 new cars.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/126700001/2-new-boes-watchtower-begging-money-volunteers.
with approximately 120,000 publishers in the uk, that will rake in 360,000. .

does the £3 levy come on top of the fuel charge for each visit ? -

The "preaching work" is just laughable!
by cookiemaster inthe "preaching work" they're so eager to brag about is just laughable.
they say their number is an indication of god's blessing.
oh, please, give me a break!

if i bother to think back 50 years ago when i started pioneering--i couldnt help but notice the sort of new ones that were attracted to the club. mostly misfits--losers--emotionally damaged types that came into it for the false promise it held out to them. hardly the sharpest tools in the box. -

New "donation" arrangement begins to FAIL
by Tech49 inso here we are, almost a year into the "new" congregation donation arrangement.
and its beginning, as was predicted, to fail miserably, and to have direct negative consequences on the poor sheep.. let me give you a little experience, directly from our congregation of about 80 publishers.
back in may, after reading the letter about the "new" arrangement, the elder body decided to "donate" the extra funds on hand to wt, as directed.

Do you feel bad throwing away literature?
by stuckinarut2 inso do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

2 years ago i cleared out my fathers house ready for selling ( he had gone into a care home ) i knew there were dozens of cult books there. i was surprised to find boxed sets of every magazine going back over 50 years. they were all over the place.
also--i found a large box full of congregation records and files.
the whole damn lot went to the dump. i wont even have any version of the bible in my home.
