I never did. It embarrassed me. When I was young my folks made me wear one and I opened it up and took the paper out making it look like it fell out. After my folks ask what happen I said I dont know. After that I just took the plastic holder off. I did that for years and my folks fell for it every time.

I think its a good idea if they have there teenage kids with them. How so? These kids will grow up hating Field service and when they get married there kids will hate it also. -

No Soliciting signage and JW Policy
by Oubliette indoes anyone have a copy of the boe letter directing publishers to not go into apartment complexes and/or condominium complexes with no soliciting signs?
i ask because yesterday and buttheaded jw (that obviously had no idea who i am or my past) was knocking on doors in our condo complex.
he would have had to drive past a sign which clearly states "no solicitation or material distribution.".

Peer presure to use Ipad
by Gorbatchov inearlier this season i advised my retired father to ignore the use of a tablet during his kingdom hall congregational visits.
his response was hopefull, but between the lines i could hear he had no choice.. yesterday he showed me his new 600 euro 64 gb ipad air 2. he had no clue what he has to do with it, he told me one of the elders will install the jw.org apps.. so, i feel he had to deal with presure to buy this ipad and i think he is not the only one.. do you recognize this?.

well I never go back because I don't have a business suit and a tie. don't have a 4 door car. I have to wear white socks. Don't own a book bag. I guess my shoes are ok until someone complains there not shiny.
Can't stand the gossip. The meetings were so boring the high light was going to the bathroom.
And now the ipad thing. I never liked Apple products. Id never buy one.

Literature being discontinued, including Isaiah's Prophecy and Reasoning book
by Richard_I incongregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.
i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.
the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..

Churches helping neighbors instead of JW"s
by life is to short inlast week where i live we had the worst wind storm in the history of our area.
we had gust of 71 miles an hour from 3 in the afternoon till 8 at night.
it was like a hurricane at times the wind did sound like a freight train.

I also had a bad windstorm last Tuesday. The city I live in had a power outage. The place was like North Korea.
Back during 911 in NYC the watchtower in Brooklyn locked the doors to the victims of the attack. They were also at "ground zero" handing out magazines. They are a joke. They do not help the local needs of our city.
life is to short perhaps we are neighbors?
