happy people.

by zeb in

jw
friends

i have opened thesite to relate this part of my day.. yes the jw are such happy people.

yeah right... my wife has come home after an extended sunday meeting in a foul mood.

to be around her is like feeling your way through barbed wire.

if my wife had come home from a meeting in a bad mood--i would have banged my fist on the table and demanded my dinner !

"Circumcision is a sign to set you apart from the people of the nations"

by stuckinarut2 in

we know that the hebrew scriptures, or old testament states that the practice of circumcision (of males) was supposed to be yet another sign that set the jews apart from the "people of the nations".

but apart from so many odd things, how dumb is this?.

i mean, how did someone know if a male was circumcised or not??

stan livedeath

other religions do it too.

just shows it was a design fault to begin with.

Were your English WT publications in the American "dialect"?

by compound complex in

greetings, friends:.

the opening query is presented, loosely, in the past tense, assuming that you are not currently a reader of watchtower publications.. not that i'm already rather certain of your reply, it's just that i would like to know if in your english-speaking country (or esl [english as second language]) the society deigned to tailor the publications to your spellings, expressions, idiomatic renderings, etc.

as you will read below, so-called american english is a dialect of english.. i found this online under american english vs. british english:.

Ron Drage learnt ( UK English spelling--i checked ) it from his wife--she was american.

i left school aged 15 because the end was coming.

i went pioneering till my late teens because the end was even nearer.

i got married at 20 because the end was so close ( no double entendre meant ! )

i'm 70 next birthday. the end is even closer now -ive been told.

i couldnt give a toss.

KH dedication

by stan livedeath in

correct me if i'm wrong--.

when a new-build or existing property is acquired for use as a kingdom hall----is it still the custom to have a sort of "dedication to jehovah" type of service ?.

if it is--what happens when the property is sold ?

if it is--what happens when the property is sold ? is it de-dedicated ?

does anyone know the most bizarre or inappropriate use of a former KH ?

Suggestion for website, alerts for replies

by neat blue dog in

hi simon, just wondering if in any future iteration of the site it could have a notifications spot, that tells you of any new comments in threads you've started and/or posted in kind of like facebook has, instead of having to go back and check each one manually which can cause you to miss replies.

thank you and i appreciate you're work..
