'...They DONT have bibles at the carts...'
I got a Bible from them after I asked for it...three weeks after and only after constantly reminding them that they said they would get me a Bible...
from last weeks meeting.
"we are now going to talk about experiences from trolley witnesssing" .
this is the honest to god response.

i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.
i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.
we went to meetings.
I find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc. I grew up as a JW kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school. I had something they did not. We went to meetings. I gave my first bible reading at age 7. My Mom had the Congregation Servant [no body of elders then] come down and open up the Kingdom Hall on a Monday night so I could practice giving my bible reading from the platform. I read the whole thing in front of my Mom and the Brother several times. The Brother patiently waited until I was finished and my Mom said it was ready. My Mom encouraged me and gave me some pointers. Then we went home and I was excitedly waiting for Thursday's school. On Thursday I walked up the steps to the same platform and read the Bible just like I practiced with my Mom a few days previously. Exhilarating, exciting, mind blowing for a 7 year old. What kid at school got to experience that? I had magazine routes where the woman on Halley St. would take every Awake and Watchtower I brought to her. I have no idea if she ever read them and the Brother that accompanied me never asked her anything. I did all the talking, explaining to her about the good points of the magazines, just like I had practiced and even written down. She always paid me, full rate of 5 cents each, and thanked me for coming. What kid in school got to experience the feeling I had on those Saturdays? Sure I liked staying home some Saturdays and watching Spiderman cartoons, BUT, I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, [is that enough to get my point across?] ever missed birthdays, x-mass, etc etc etc. My family was together, I had 3 brothers that I really liked being with, my Mom took care of us, my Dad was super, [not a Witness, but liked them all and they all liked him], went on holidays every year, watched Hockey Night in Canada with my Dad on Saturday nights,[Toronto Maple Leafs were His team so of course they were the best], went swimming on Monday nights, Book Study on Tuesday nights etc etc etc.
Was I an unhappy kid because I did not celebrate all those x-mas, easter, birthdays,etc, etc, etc.? No, no and again no.
If you are an adult and feel you had a deprived childhood, grow up and get over it.

The 2:00 mark about says it all.
10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.
12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.
thanks cappytan for posting the thread "jehovah's people as a whole can never be corrupted".
it's a sad example of how low in simple reading skills the present gb and their helpers are.
david schafer referred to philippians 4:7 on jw broadcasting.
so i meet sister ott zealot.
she says ah .... its lovely to see you; how are you doing.

'and how's your spirituality'?
",,,It was fine until you came along.,,"
"hey brother wasa, come on back to the meetings.
" (after 10 years) so i respond that the situation with pedophiles is out of hand.
they tell me "we" elders have received tons of training on the subject, its not like it was 10 years ago.
How would you react if three elders showed up to encourage you?
Two came to my house on a Saturday. I told them to, 'come back Monday, I'm busy'. They never came back. I guess it wasn't really that important.

One that has been very visible is Robert Luccioni.
This is the idiot who introduced the video about 'The Little Cart with a Big Heart '.
" And here we welcome you to listen to this wonderful song and watch this heart warming video about 'a little cart with a big heart.' My oh my, a little cart with little wheels and little shelves and a little handle that rolls around the neighbourhood. A little cart with a big heart video proudly introduced by Robert Luccioni. What a guy. Slick, suave, sophisticated, debonair. Future GB material. Future generations to come will listen to the words of wisdom coming from Robert Luccioni. They will obey instructions coming from the man who introduced the video about the 'little cart with the big heart'. Something to look forward to. I wonder what kind of animated crap he will come up with when in charge.
Yessir, Robert Luccioni. Fred Franz is dead, long live Robert Luccioni.
the little cart is growing up.. .
