Re: FDS
I always though FDS stood for a deodorant.
*** w60 7/15 444 staying awake with the "faitful and discreet slave" *** yes, the "faitful and discreet slave" was awake to the coming of 1914. in 1942 the "faitful and discreet slave" guided by unerring spirit made known that the democracies would win world war ii and that there would be a united nations organisation set up.
once again the "faitful and discreet slave" has been tipped off ahead of time.
does anyone have the article this quote is referring to?

i know of a congregation on the east coast that is having all bookstudies meet at the kingdom hall!
that's right--no bookstudies in private homes, at least for now.... has anyone else heard of this?
and what could be the reason?

Now, they can't get any one in service, and they tend to blame it all on 'materialism'... So they have all the book studies meet at the hall. The only other suggestion that came up so far on the thread that may have a real bearing on this situation, is that they really want to keep an eye on the 'waverers' --bc along with good jobs and 'materialism' usually comes a good home pc and the internet!
That's good news

i've been thinking a lot recently about the interaction between people in the exjw community and it seem to me that the "jw experience" (sounds like a theme park ride doesn't it?
) polarises behavior somewhat between two extremes:.
we know in the jw scheme of things that friendships are very 'superficial'.
I find that I always seme to be talking to myself saying "what would a normal person be doing now" to decide how to act

fun things for us apostates to do at the kh..
pull aside an unruly child and say: "if you're bad in here, you'll go to die at armageddon.".
put stray dogs in library.
Scrape shoe on welcome mat after stepping in dog doo, singing Lynard Skynard song : "Ooh Ooh that smell"
Come in 15 minutes late slam door
See if "elder" file cabinet is locked, if not go through all files to see why different ones were DF"d (I did)
If person in front of you turns around to look at you, point your finger towards the podium and tell them to turn back around and "pay attention".

i absolutely detested the watchtower study.
never did an hour go by so slow.
there would the 20 or so paragraphs that had to read and answered, and i would watch the clock.

One time I was in line to get a newly released book and someone cut right in front of me.All that crap about how loving they are is TOTALLY untrue.
That's because they wanted to get into the "paradise/new system" before you.
