  My 5-minute part

  by Max Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i gave a 5 minute part the other day.

  i'd readied my trusty navy blue double-breaster and put on the same tie i wore when i gave the bible reading at the circuit assembly once (actually i bought the suit for the same occasion), but this time i had a part at the district convention venue!.

  i listened to the two earlier speakers, and just knew they'd get w. my name was announced and i stepped up to the platform, slipped behind the podium as cool as can be, settled my notes, noticed where the mike was, lent my hands on the podium just so, gave a couple of people eye contact, gave an introduction to arouse interest, watched my pausing and my hissing ssss and popping pppp and general proper use of microphone and my modulation.

  2. friends

  last night my father called me and informed me about "the letter" that is going to be read tonight at his congregation re: dateline.

  he said hed let me know what it said, and that "apparently the society feels as though some things were misrepresented on the dateline program.

  " i havent been on here the past few days, so im sure the letter has been discussed on the forum (i did see bill mention it in his thread)........i was just wondering if anyone had a copy, or just a quick summary on what the letter had to say.

  2. friends

  there are times when ilook back fondly on my days in the witnesses, especially when i think on the congregation get togethers we would have every once in awhile (not too often) people from our hall and sometimes others would show up (not too many) and good times were had by all.

  this is how the schedule usually went.. 8pm: arrive at the community centre.

  8:05pm: scope the room.

  THE SECRET OF FAMILY CRAPINESS

  by bay64me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know of a lady that started to study with her husband and to keep the story fairly brief, i shall omit smaller details although they are not unimportant.

  as the study progressed, at different rates (the mrs was more taken in than the mr.) so they were split up, ie.

  2 studies were then underway,(more hours to report!

  MILLIONS NOW LIVING

  by LDH in

  2. friends

  .....have already died.. they have given over any semblance of a normal life to a kult korporation that just continues to feed on their fears.

  they might as well be dead.. many of the millions who were alive when that statement was made *did* die, waiting in vain to get the don lapre shortcut to financial prosperity and happiness.

  they mistakenly thought if they just put in a little more time here, host another co there, they would get the house of their dreams in the real soon now paradise that is perpetually "just around the corner.".

  Its not a religion, its a business

  by joelbear in

  2. friends

  think about it.. you have to be interviewed (baptismal prep questions).

  you have to enter a contract (the two baptismal questions).

  everyone has a job description and job requirements (ministerial servants, elders, co, po, pioneer, publisher).
