  Memorial observance screwery.

  by Darkknight757 in

  2. beliefs

  had a thought about the memorial observance that is held at the kingdumb hall every year.

  there are a few youtube videos of people partaking of the bread and the wine and then making some grand speech before being escorted off the premises.

  instead of that, has anyone tried getting a group of buddies together and when receiving the bread or the wine, just eat or drink it all?

  Were Conventions, Asemblies and the Memorials boring to you?

  by HereIgo in

  conventions always just seemed like more of a vacation to me than anything else, especially if you had to travel out of town for it, but definitely were exhausting especially toward the end of each day.

  for some reason i didn't mind the special and circuit assemblies too much, probably because they seemed like more of a social event than anything else and only 1-2 days.

  the memorial always was kind of boring to me.

  Some recent baptism figures in the UK - is there a "bounce back"?

  by freddo in

  2. friends

  well, round my way (south of the uk) all the way up to and including the regional conventions this summer, baptism numbers have been extremely low.

  but i have just received news of three recent circuit assembly days where the figures seem to be higher.

  (all have been across the last three weekends at a uk assembly hall in october).

  i thought it would be fun to get to know each other's background a little better.. what brought you into the "truth"?

  were you born in?.

  what caused you to have doubts?.

  my mother got religion when i was about 8 years old. was dragged along to meetings from age 10.

  baptised at 14 because all my mates were.

  pioneer at 16

  servant at 19

  d/a at 23----after long consideration that there is no god and everything the watchtower cult stands for is pure bullshit.

  Major congregational quake in Southern California

  this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.

  a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.

  the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.

  my dad passed away peacefully this january. in spite of the money he already gave the cult-----he left me well provided for.

  my dilemna is what do i do with my will ? i remarried earlier this year--and my new wife will naturally be well looked after ( she is much younger than me. if its good enough for a GB member--who am i to argue! )

  but--what do i leave for my 3 kids?

  my dub-daughter is married and quite well off i would imagine. she shuns me completely--so any money i leave her will probably wind up in the watchtower coffers

  ditto my younger son--not seen him in 30 years. but i know he also is a devout dub.

  then there is my older son--d/f over 5 years ago--doing very well in life--probably better off than me--we have a good relationship.

  what to do ?

  i know--blow the bloody lot. problem solved!

  i was gobsmacked when i found out my ( now deceased ) father had handed over £5000 towards the kh building fund a few years ago. then to discover he was donating £100 a month---needless to say when i took over all his affairs when he went into a care home --i straight away stopped that!

  Genital Warts Because our Ancestors were Banging Neanderthals

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  researchers have found evidence that modern genital warts – otherwise known as the human papillomavirus (hpv) – were sexually transmitted to homo sapiens after our ancestors slept with neanderthals and denisovans roughly around 100,000 years ago.....

  CO visits me today

  by Chook in

  2. experiences

  i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.

  so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).

  so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.
