  i am thoroughly surprised nobody has brought this up yet, but two of the original songs released last year, "i give you my best" & "jehovah welcomes you home" were performed by george benson, and the first one was a duet with singer sheila hutchinson, the same one who did duets with him over 10 years ago for the cancelled album mentioned in our kingdom ministry.

  compare this:.

  I don't get it. The kid is dropped off at some kind of landscaping company, taught how to trim hedges, and the mother is crying tears of joy?

  Very strange.

  What would happen if...

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in an effort to excuse yourself from elder persecution, you present an argument.

  whether at a jc or just in an average elder shepherding call.

  most people who have confronted a jc, have tried to explain to the elders about what they know of the org but the incriminating questions always come up.. when confronted with the question, do you still believe the gb is the f&ds?

  How can I? Even THEY didn't believe it until 2012 when they announced it at the Annual Meeting. I mean, come on! Over 90 years and they didn't know they were the F&DS?!?!?!

  YES!

  The Perfect Ones...

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  with the rc coming i was wondering if anyone else noticed how some jws seemed to have everything somehow?

  you would see these attractive young couples who clearly were well off.

  the brother had privileges though so you know he was at the meetings and fs regularly.

  One of those perfect couples used to be in my old congregation. Perfect wife, perfect husband, perfect children and all very good looking. Then a game changer happened. They had a down syndrome child. Now you hear about families that make great sacrifices for their handicapped children. Very honorable parents. Not this couple. Did I say a game changer?  Well, I didn't really mean it. This perfect couple had a lot of money and could easily have provided for this handicapped child. However, that didn't quite fit into their life style. So, they proceeded to have the child committed into an institution to care for it. Out of sight, out of mind. No one in the congregation ever asked about the little one that disappeared.

  I don't understand Spanish but I think this may be my favorite Gerrit Losch talk. The one where he talks about all the billions of dead bodies after Armageddon and how one of the first jobs JW's will have is burying those bodies. I suspect the burying the bodies part is when he is smiling during his talk.

  george cook, omg, george f'ing cook, whattttt!.

  caption: elder george cook (right), one of the nine elders of the small 90-person congregation, said prince regularly ‘witnessed’ alone in the community and in groups.

  he was very detail oriented and very eccentric.

  Funny how these years later, he views a 57 year old man who wears androgynous clothes and make-up, to be perfectly acceptable by the societies standards.

  I don't know what the big deal is about Prince. He looked like a little creep. I would not want him in my house.
