What Excuses Did You Make Up For Being a Witness?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
remember, how on tuesdays and thursdays, we never saw that tv program everyone was always talking about at work, the next day?

and the reason was because we had to go to the meeting.

people would talk about seinfeld and die laughing because of the episodes.

Favorite childhood TV shows
by Nosferatu in
1. jw
2. friends
now, i'm not referring to sesame street, mr. rogers, or any of the educational kids' shows.

i'm talking about the ones for pure entertainment, cartoons and such.

however, i can't really classify this as purely cartoons since some of you might have watched things like hr pufnstuf.. i grew up in the 1980s, when the magic of saturday morning cartoons existed.

What's Your Favourite Font?
by dh in
1. jw
2. friends
maybe some of you write, or work in publishing, design etc, are there any fonts that you choose to use because they feel better, do you change the font before you begin writing a document, or at the end?

for writing i love to use tahoma, i type pretty quick and the way the letters appear on the screen in tahoma is very much more fluid than other fonts out there, and if you're writing a lot, or creatively, i think it makes an enormous difference... was tahoma designed to be easy on the eyes?

for bold stuff i love the font rockwell, dunno why, i just like it.

Will there be winter in the new system?
by Atilla in
1. jw
2. friends
so much snow this winter, but it reminds me of the silly conversations we would have out in service about conditions in the new system.

this one guy, who thought he knew everything because he had been to bethel and had been pioneering since the 9th grade, was positive that there would be no winter in the new system.

his reasoning was that since the whole earth would be made into a paradise with perfect conditions, there would be no real cold places like russia or even central pennsylvania.

Theocratic Ministry School
by Nosferatu in
1. jw
2. friends
the tms had always somewhat intrigued me when i was a jw.

it was actually a fascinating part of the thursday night meeting.

you never graduated, your grades didn't range from a to f, and it was mandatory to applaud after a new "classmate" gives their first talk.

Blondies WT studies
by simplesally in
1. watchtower
2. bible
you know, i love reading blondie's wt studies and her comments.

today, one thought is sticking in my mind: the fact that noah had 500 years to preach and that lot had "5 minutes".....he was trying to get his sons-in-law to go with them out of sodom.

i would suppose that the gb would say that the brothers knew lot to be a god-fearing, jehovah-worshipping man and that he would certainly not steer them wrong, therefore, they should have heeded his advice without question and that maybe the angels were of such beauty or noticeably were sons of god that the sons should have had no excuse.. now, my point is this: has anybody had enough guts to bring up one of blondie's points up at the meeting or in conversation with another jw to see what would be said.. i think it would have been interesting to have commented on the lot/noah thing this morning.
