what are your thoughts on that?.
If you are going to remain physically in you had better make up yoiur mind to either :-
1) lead a totally double life by seeking Outside associates and romance, looking over your shoulder all the time for informers, and knowing that you can never marry or live together openly.
2) Settle for a bachelor life.......

Life and Ministry Meeting Overseer?.
Auxilliary counsellor ?
New titles to me, and whats with reviewing/rating speakers?
i am not sure if this has been discussed but last night mid week meeting about organisational accomplishments really got my goat as the example of the temple was used.
people contributed to the building of the jewish temple and now the museum and bethel in warwick.
this supposed .be evidence of god s guidance.
Yuk! That exhibition was just a trumpet blowing demonstration
Did I not hear Mark Sanderson claim that this was a multicultural society? Really?
The Cambridge Dictionary defines that as , " including people of many different customs and beliefs" .. I leave you to decide if that is true of the WTS......
We went to thev " Show Love Gallery" more trumpet blowing . Why did that title remind me of the Ministry of Love in Orwell's 1984? That building was really an instrument of repression.
Many many years back I enjoyed Bethel tours. I think I would want to give this one a miss even if I were still in.
president kennedy's brother robert excited the world as a candidate for president 5 years after jfk's murder.rfk, in turn, was murdered.the assassin's name was sirhan sirhan, he was palestinian.it just so happened the assassin's father, bishara, was a member in good standing as one of jehovah’s witnesses.so what?
so this:this seemingly innocent fact would jolt jehovah's witnesses into a near panic.
i know because i was there.here are the facts as i remember them.______the jehovah's witness, bishara sirhan unfortunately had a reputation in his neighborhood and community for being excitable, even volatile at times.
Sirhan......
I remember the events well, a shocking assassination. Word of a J W connection reached our cong. (U.K.) when our Cong.Servant ( pre elder times) mentioned it in a prayer . Later he explained that he had heard the news .
Did not the WT or Aw. Print a disclaimer ,under Watching the World , or something similar?
friends?
some friends are like a holiday a favorite pair of shoes the scratching post for kitten fingers to caress some friends can really wear you out with their whinging and their blues yet more or less - not worse than all the rest.
some friends are chatty cherubim and others?
I have never been good at making friends , so I learned to carry on with lots of associates but no close friends .... That is ok.
I try to remember what Terry's poem said , that we are all just human and bound to differ
to me, breakfast can be served at any time of the day.
a local bar in my area serves breakfast all day long.
for 5 bucks you get 2 eggs any way you like, bacon sausage or ham with home fries and toast!!
every day it is simple cereal. A treat would be an "Eggs Royale" at our local pub/restaurant. That is an eggs benedict without the ham but smoked salmon instead
when i saw this young boy play the drums i was really impressed by his talent and the joy that he has.
for some strange reason, i thought of how his life would change if his parents studied with the jdubs and became witnesses.
i could see how the boy's life would change.
Yea.... that boy can play!
I hope he goes on to make a success of a musical career. ....As the op suggests, if he were born into a dub family, or perhaps other restrictive religions/cultures he would have no chance of making a career out of what he obviously loves.
I have known one or two young witnesses who had musical ability. Who knows if it would have led to a career? but of course they were stopped once they got to a point that it started to interfere with the all important Ministry. One lass told me she was unable to enjoy an orchestra now , it made her sad to think that she might have been there

Just saw the opening again.......... If ever confronted by the B of E, I can say “ I do not answer to Watchtower “....... and then tell them I am only quoting Gerald Losch..........
what’s your opinion of having alexa ?
is it something you would get if you don’t already have it?
?.
Had one for ages....I love it.
She reminds when it's time. To take medicine, she gets me up in the morning, tells me time in the dark, the state of local traffic etc etc
I wouldn't be without her now

Yes, well worth seeing. Food for thought. Amazing statement by G Losch, technically true but disengenuous.
A very skilled presenter. The Borg could do with his style.
