  What have you replaced the Sunday meetings with?

  by Glenmore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have got into the habit of checking this forum and then going out on the deck (which we call the church of flow, it's a perch about 30' up) and playing my guitar for an hour or so - particularly on nice days like today.

  then i come back in, look a bit of tv, eat, read and stuff like that.

  i consider my sunday's sacred, i won't go anywhere unless i have to.

  Elders Won't Let Elderly Sister Stay In The Bathroom

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  evidently, according to my mother, her friend has all sorts of perfume allergies and has been attending meetings in the ladies room with a door open so as to hear the vital spiritual information.

  anyway, the elders told her she could no longer sit in the stall.

  now she's depressed and doesn't know what to do.

  Hmmm..thats a toughy.

  I would say, stick up for herself, or have someone else stick up for her. Get a brother that understands what is going on, or even another sister. Have her sit back in the stalla s usual, and if the elders bother her again, have that person engage in a dialog with them regarding her health.

  Pshh

  I dont know, i never respected the 'brothers' wishes anyways.

  I figure out what mood im in (sad, tired, lazy) when i get up, and search my music collection for music that opposes that mood. Or if im (energetic, cheerfull, happy) I find music to back that up!

  2. friends

  i was thinking about how many people i loved.. and conversely, how many people love me.

  in both instances, i only came up with one person.

  (actually, i feel love for some, but i doubt it's reciprocated).

  All of the following are simply frowned upon...if a frown is 2 elders in the backroom telling you that you are stumbling people by having more hair than them.

  1. No gotees of any sort.
  2. No soul patches
  3. no beards
  4. no sideburns (been vilotaing that one for about 6 years now)

  All of these were for the Assembly Hall Cleanup:

  1. No shirts or pants with any type of brand name on them. (They wanted to look just like the Watchtower pictures! Hmm..I smell photo-op!)
  2. No brand name shoes. We had to wear our meeting shoes, or take the labels off of our shoes (only in the recent 3 years or so)
  3. No labeled drinks: Gatorade, Powerade, Earth2o, ect. All labels had to be removed.
  4. No running (I asked why so many times)
  5. Cant choose your own jobs (sucked being an 8 year old with a 50 pound parking lot blower strapped to your back.)

  All of these were for meetings:

  1. No talking to your neighbor.
  2. Cant stand at the back of the hall. (They would rather we fall asleep, so we can get the info sub-consciencely)
  3. No drinking anything
  4. No more than 2 trips to the restroom, or you were pulled in the back room for "disrupting the meeting"

  ect ect ect....

  Aqua Teens... canceled?

  by Preston in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i just saw an advertisement that they are cancelling the "aqua teens" on the cartoon network in a few weeks.

  i hope this is just a joke to advertise the new season since there were already 5 more about to air, starting the 15th, and i think 13 new episodes total.

  hopefully, this is just a parody of the whole "friends" thing....

  Why do X-Witnesses have a higher divorce rate?

  by Joker10 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some time ago i asked how many of you have divorced to get the idea if x-jws posters have a higher or a lower divorce rate than the general population.

  of those who responded 86% have been divorced.

  studies show inactive and x- witnesses, not only have a considerable higher rate of divorce than current members, but even higher than of the general population.

  My Jetobah Witness floor

  by onacruse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently helped my long-time business partner, and good friend, install a wood floor in his new house.

  the name of the wood is "jetobah," a variety of brazilian cherry.. we've been working our butts off, and this afternoon i suggested that he just not do any shop work tonight, turn the radio to a blues station that has a regular friday night r&b program, and "shake that jetobah floor".... well, i did my usual faux pas and said "jehovah" floor.

  dang, i hate it when i do things like that!
