Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To

by Simon in

jw
friends

admit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.

we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?

what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

Well Simon, I must say that is the first time I heard Abba singing An Angel Passing Through My Room. I love Abba now, now so much in the 70's. Their music will last as long as there is recorded history, HOWEVER, you really should be embarrassed wanting to listen to that song. I am so happy that is the one and only time I will ever listen to it, HOWEVER, it does kinda remind me of When You Taught Me How To Dance, by Katie Melua, which I absolutely love.

I don't know what to think.

Darn you Simon!

Merger aftermath

by Rattigan350 in

a couple of months ago, i reported on my congregation being disolved and merged with another.. on sept 1, cong b merged with cong a using the same hall, thereafter using cong a's meeting times.

also nearby cong c moved into the hall using cong b's meeting times and cong c's kh is being put up for sale.. i've since been to both sunday meetings and both midweek meetings.

at all, the parking lot is totally full, cars have to park around the corner and on the street.

highlights from Circuit Overseer Guidelines

by neat blue dog in

i just finished looking through the circuit overseer manual, so here are some highlights.

first up, regarding circuit assemblies:.

if a brother is so extremely overweight that others would be distracted if he had a part on the program, good judgment would need to be used in deciding whether to give him an assignment.

nowwhat said " ...Co wives should only speak when spoken to. A women can run for president or prime minister but in jw land are not permitted to operate a projector!"

They should compensate their wives with a large supply of liquor. Tony Morris can explain how that works.

Discarding all that wonderful spiritual food at the proper time. Such a waste of nutritional nuggets.... What is the real reason behind getting rid of old publications?

Some were to discard. Some were to DESTROY.

Few observations made at the RC

by Crazyguy2 in

once again the mention of jesus was or has been very little this truly is an old testament cult with some sprinkles of pauline writings to help them in their doctrines.

i also noticed how mixed up the congregations are at this and probably other rcs.

some of the local congregations are here near the rcs site but also ones almost 100 miles away as well , yet other local congregations are not scheduled at this time.

starring at the crowd during prayer..?
whats the idea with that please.

Excellent way to catch the eye of a pretty young lass who may be doing the same. A wink and a nod and at least you have something worthwhile to remember the next day.

More fear-mongering in Nov. 2019 WT

by neat blue dog in

first of all, there's a new imaginary picture of jws during the great tribulation:.

then there's a picture of a jw family refusing to listen to "apostate lies" via pre-programed, self imposed information control:.

Need Help: My Correspondence with the Headquarters

by Lobsto in

a month ago i sent a letter to the us branch about 607. my purpose for sending it was because i wanted to show to my parents through the letters the truth behind the date system.

two days ago, i received a response from them.

i think this is gonna be the first of many.

" ...Also, please keep in mind that our letter is for your personal use only, so no photocopies of it should be made and it should not be placed on any electronic system.,".

Such a thoughtful explanation. But make sure you don't tell anyone else. So much for not hiding your light under a basket.
