My friend in Surrey, B.C. tells me that in his apartment there is a refugee family that is receiving $900.00 per child every month. That's 5 children x $900 = $4500.00 per month. and that's only the kids. Rent paid and other money going to parents.

Every parents worst nightmare. [ Really? Every parent or just you? By the way, are you even a parent?]

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.[ Really? Sounds like the kind of thing I WOULD wish on my worst enemy.]

The Watchtower stole from me and you too

by rickroll in

think of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.

think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.

they stole so much from us.

Woe is me. Woe is me.

I coulda been a contender. I coulda been a somebody.

It doesn't occurr to you that everyone bought into it?

Those who bought into it in the 30's convinced those in the 40's to buy into it.

They convinced those in the 50's to buy into it ... and so on until you or your parents bought into it.

And here you are whimpering that " I bought into it and wasted my life."

What great thing would you have done to help mankind other than taking holidays and sleeping in on Saturday?

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

by Simon in

jw

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.
