Do you trust JW's?
by desib77 ini guess i'm asking in more of a business aspect?
or in any kind of dealings with them.....for example, because of their morals honesty is "supposed" to be practiced.
would you hire one because of this?

Unfortunately because of my own experience, I have difficulty in trusting males wearing suits and ties. I also initially tend to mistrust females in the garb that is so often worn by J.W. women.
I tend to view the outward appearances of such individuals as a veneer that masks an ugly interior.
I do realise that my perceptions are based entirely upon stereotypes of those that hurt and betrayed my family...but this reaction, now I suppose is a built in protection from further potential damage.
Sounds quite sad when my thoughts are put into words like this, but I'm afraid that is what my own personal experience has done for me.

Is anyone going to Glastonbury?
by reboot in.
decided on the spur of the moment to try and get some glastonbury tickets yesterday,as there were still 55, 000 left due to the system cock ups... had friends who stayed up til 5am trying on the friday night but none of us had any luck, mind you, with two teenagers and a child it's the equivilent of a small mortgage...did anyone here have any joy?
i've just had a phone call this morning to say i had sunday tickets , the ones you can get if you live in somerset...ive got a phone number if anyone want to try it... so; if anyone wants to meet up to have a shamanistic dance or two, share moment in the tipi field or help me negociate the toilet block..... i'll be around...

I'll be there!
Only managed to secure tickets for Sunday. (Although I've entered several competitions for a weekend pass)....(still waiting to hear ...but you never know!..........sad/desparate bastard)!
Can't say I'll be around the pyramid stage whenn the Ride of the Valkyries...or whatever is being performed...but I'll surely be present when Muse are headlining and Morrisey is tempting!
Hoping to meet Reboot and Satans little helper...and anyone else that can fit in a little time in the huge schedule of events that will surely need tending to!
Keep in touch via the board and perhaps we can exchange mobile no's and meet up for a while?????

cocktails/mixing drinks
by baysixforme ini went to a bbq the other night and had a couple of glasses of white wine before being offered a white rum with black pepper.
i knocked back two of those...not particularly large ones either and that was it...i was somewhere else!.
the good part about it was that i was with some good friends who were able to take care of me....the bad part was that i could hardly remember anything the next day.

I was just wondering if anybody here knew if there is some kind of reaction that occurs when mixing white rum and black pepper!!!!!!! Sounds strange to me but I can't explain it any other way unless there was something in the drink that was a little more sinister..... Maby I just need to get out more?

What's the craziest thing you ever heard at the Kingdom Hall or Assembly?
by Mr Ben inwhat's the craziest thing you ever heard at the kingdom hall or assembly hall?
there were lots of crazy ideas coming from elders, co's & do's in my neck of the woods, but one in particular sticks in my mind.
it was the very last circuit assembly at hellerby in yorkshire (hell!

I also rememer a circuit overseer telling our congregation that certain childrens videos contained demonic subliminal messages. This included The Little Mermaid and a couple of others that were popular at the time, I forget right now, (my memories are fading and I'm glad)! The content of which, (he stated), were too disgusting to even speak about and certainly couldn't be mentioned in the Kingdom Hall.
Loads of kids were either really freaked out over this or extremely curious and wouldn't stop asking questions about what it was that they weren't allowed to see....obviously his ill-thought out comments provoked mass interest in the very thing that he was hoping to discourage....... for whatever reason! Dickhead!

I used to go to Hellerby and can remember an idiot M.S. from our congregation being on the platform speaking of the dangers of T.V.
At the conclusion of his extremely animated talk he tried to sum up by delivering an admonition to be carefull about T.V. viewing and told the audience to WATCH IT!
There was an uproar of nervous laughter, stifled gigles and uncomfortable coughs as the M.S. realised what he had said and hit his brow with the palm of his hand and walked off the platform.
I don't recall him ever being invited to speak again.

You mean to say that there are people that would actually part with good money for that stuff?
I was/am planning a car boot sale when I break up from Uni and all of that stuff from my attic was/is planned to go there. I have a load of bound volumes and tons of other stuff that is packed away in boxes.
I may have to have a rethink.....how much does that kind of stuff sell for?
Bay64me
P.S. I could check whether I have 1980 volume but I'm afraid I'm too, too busy right now with revision and daren't go into the attic as I know I will be there all night........

Higher Education
by eiu2003 inwell, let's try posting a topic.
one of the things i felt i missed out on while i was a witness, other than wild sex when young is higher education.
i quit hs to pioneer and now have just recently finished a college degree and am still working on my masters, but i find myself resenting that i have had to do this all at night and while in my forties.

I do feel the odd tinge of regret that I didn't do what I do now earlier.
But I know that I bring with me; to my education, my studies, to my work and to my clients, a wealth of knowledge, life experience and empathy that is unrivaled amongst my co-workers.
We may at times feel that we have been robbed of many things by adhering to those man-made rules but I turn that on it's head and use what I did learn there.....not those endless mind-numbing W/T studies and illustrations that were full of wishfull thinking, neither the TMS rubbish that we had to recite in various formats....or any of the so-called-knowledge that we were supposed to feel privileged that we had....
What I did learn there was valuable to me.
I no longer take anything at face value...I am now a critical thinker.
I don't accept what I am told anymore without further research...I study well.
I don't close my mind to other peoples opinions...I am well balanced.
I was hurt...I feel compassion.
I felt resentment...I know how to love.
I was ashamed...I am proud of my achievments.
I was trapped...Now I am free.
This to me is life after death.

jWs and creativity
by boy@crossroads inits seems to me over the years as a dub i have met some very creative (albeit eccentric) folks in the org.
whats your thoughts on this?
do you think that the structure of the jws makes people more creative?
-

baysixforme
My experiences tell me that for the most part creativity was stifled, much for the same reasons that have been already mentioned.
Strangely enough though, whenever there was a wedding, all the musicians were rounded up to put on the free entertainment. In that instance of course there was all praise to Jehovah for these wonderful talents!

Hey ho.. summer ahead. Feeling happy that the worst is over, am pissed tonight...drank a wonderful bottle of chardonnay that has been staring me in the eye, every time that I open the fridge for the last couple of weeks!
