i work in a playgroup in a small village and we need to come up with a catchy/ humorous slogan to put on a banner on our float for the village festival parade this weekend.

the over all theme is medieval, and as a playgroup we are dressed as robin hood and maid marions.

How about the politically correct:

The proletariat equalizer, his sexually repressed life-mate, and the misnomerally-challenged John.

Idea on How Defectors Inside theOrganization Can Find Each Other (espionage

lets work up some good ideas that we can pass on to bethel workers, cos, dos, elders etc... can use to help them to start to find others in the org that know it's not the truth but are stuck inside for various reasons.

lets come up with some way of testing people to so as not to blow ones cover and remain hidden.

plans of espionage that could cause a major blow to the organization from those trapped inside, things like how co can give talks to really discourge the friends and cause them to doubt the organization, all the while it looks like he's are doing what the organization wants him to do.

I guess we could put finnrot in a tie - but both ends would need to be real short.

You can get your badge here: More District Convention ApostaKits (scroll down to find it) and drop a check in the box while you are at it.

BTW any clear lapel cover (find at your local office supply store) will work. There is no official badge cover used.

I make a motion that we accept Listener's Tie as a mark. Any following comment that infers knowledge of this board would confirm. Mismatched socks could also work for those who do not have wives.

Anyone second that?

Eagerness To Shun Bound To Fade

by Englishman in

my own parents gave up shunning me after i was disfellowshipped.

they kept it up for about 3 years and then just sort of gradually folded.

here in wsm, most of the witnesses who remember me can't be arsed with the shunning thang any more.

I believe there is a critical mass to be found in the ratio of JWs to DF/DAed. Right now the number of DFed is growing quite rapidly.

What would happen if there were the same amount of people in and out of the org? IMO that would mean an incredible strain on the JW pysche. At that point the practice of shunning will weaken, only causing the balance to favor the DFed as more leave the org.

Then at some point, with only a hard-core remnant of JWs left, the shunning would crystalize again. At this point JWs would only be a curiousity, with only limited biological growth. A old-timer's cult.

It the practice of DFing that could make this happen.

Nothing can threaten faith and especially truth, so I guess you were "spirit-directed" to come here!

Welcome!

in another thread, honesty said:you did get switched at birth and we finally found you.

almost all of your real family (us) were switched at birth also so it was one helluva deal to get you back with us.

but we are happy we found you.

Can I be your cousin, you know, the wimpy one you always greet in a loving headlock?

Flood help in reasoning book.

by bother_forever in

when going door to door at a young age, the topic concerning the flood would from time to time arise, when i first encountered this topic with a "knowledgeable" householder i knew i needed fire power and fast.

it was when opening the "reasoning on the scriptures" book that i knew i would find something to not only amaze the householder with a fact that could not be argued with, but i would re affirm my faith and be happy, etc etc.

there was nothing, no flood heading, after pointing this out to a few bro&sis that our main weapon in the field seemed to lack some fire power in this subject i was told that it was not a neccessary subject for the society to have it in such a book.

Great point! I'm putting that bullet in the chamber.
