I remember our bookstudy groups (in my area) got the chore for a month at a time. The bookstudy was at my home with the P.O. as the conductor. When we attended the other meetings, our BS Group would all run for the vaccuum cleaners, the Windex to clean the glass on the front doors, etc. Nobody would clean the bathrooms...so being the humble and very stupid one that I was, I felt that my son and I should be an example and do the men's room. We would rush in and usually have them cleaned while everyone else was screwing around trying to look busy (& visiting) so they would not have to join us. The P.O. and his wife (also known as "The Queen") never, ever set foot in the bathrooms to clean...they were above it. I finally got sick of doing it and my son could also see everyone else avoiding it so we wound up just going in, slopping the mop around, wiping the sink with some paper towels and getting the hell out. I dunno but maybe because there were so many janitors they just got sick of seeing toilets. You'd think they'd lend their expertise to help out. Please tell me if I have wrong attitude...maybe I'm running ahead of the Org...Gosh I hope not.

PUT AWAY YOUR MICROSCOPE

i admit...i went to a session at the assembly.

my parents were at my house, and i felt obligated to go for at least one session.

anyway, what totally appalled me was what was said in one of the talks.

They have no problem keeping "the microscope" on everyone else. It just gets a little too touchy for them to be analyzed.

i was reading the thread about 2015 being the "new" end of the times and had a question to those that were in the borg around 1975 when the end was to come then.

i was only 7 and new to the borg, so i don't remember, but what exactly was everyone expecting?

fire and brimstone?

Growing up a child in Dubdom is something that should not be thrust upon any kid. It was cruel to say the least. Every world event triggered a nervousness, especially when your parents, who you trusted implictly, would say, "well this could be it", or "this might be the start of the end". So when events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, 7-Day War, 1975, etc. happened it was pure hell. A child should not have to worry about such things but we did...and if you were less than a perfect angel, like myself, you worried that you would fall into the earth or get hit by God's firey meteorites because you told a lie to your mother or ate a birthday cupcake at school. Oh yes being around the Org for so long has lasting repercussions too...and then of course if you're still involved when you have kids, you pass all the neurosis' onto them. My own kids (& myself at the time) felt the Berlin Wall coming down was the start of something..and of course the Gulf War...and it goes on and on. Fear is a big motivator and the Society of Scum in New York know how to manipulate their following.

Yes...can I have your attention please...even those in the cheap seats in the back of the bus. Please pay attention to our itinerary...at 8am we'll be joining the Bethel Family for a wake-up breakfast of self-righteous eggs and scrambled morning text and if we are lucky...er excuse me...if we are fortunate, a member of the Governing Body may join us and offer to autograph your personal copy of the NWT....and then we will get to see the inner workings of God's Organization...where He Himself operates...the Holy of Holies...the glorified Juice-Room where fresh virgin prunes are squeezed daily for our loving Mothers, Sid-Lick and the crew. Of course we'll also get to see the ever popular starch machine where those young nubile lusious effervescent.err excuse me...Bethel Boys do the laundry in their undershirts. Have I got your attention Brothers and Sisters...is it not great that we are a part of this heavenly run organ-eye-zation? Why yes and that's why all of us at Bethel Tours would like to remind you that right after a stimulating lunch of thinly-sliced and well-aged roast beef or something like it along with a cup-o-pudding we'll be asking for your contributions for gasoline as you well know that in Satan's world we are forced to use gasoline and it costs us precious dollars but we are ever so happpy to bring you Brothers & Sisters to Mother but it is not with out cost to us so we know that you will make up any shortfall and Jehovah will certainly bless your efforts for it. Later on after our evening meal with the Bethel Family we'll be asking some of the younger Brothers to join some of us older Brothers in the Rec-Room for some brotherly affection, tender compassion and the like...just bring your bathing trunks and maybe a towel. The Governing Body offers this loving provision to all young men..just remember what the Psalmist wrote at chapter 145, verse 14..." we are raising up all who bow down."...so the lower you go ...well never mind for right now..hope you all packed comfortable shoes.....

What Are Civic Duties?

by Guest 77 in

jw
friends

are civic duties curbing your dog and picking up his/her droppings?

volunteering to clean your local neighborhood?

does it include being an administrator/councilman in your locale?

BONEZZ

Amazing,
I agree with you except for the part about speeding...I think a conservative estimate would be 80% speed on their way to and from Ass-emblies! Of course speeding is not really breaking one of Caesar's laws if there's a chance of being late for the opening prayer!

What's the one thing you miss about the WTS?

by Naeblis in

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.

I miss all the purdy coluredd books and takin home xtra froot bags at the end of the essemblee.
