  Why leave? This forum need voices of sanity like yours. On the internet you can be whoever you choose to be unfortunately some choose to be rude mean and hurtful. One of the things I see here that really makes my head spin is when see a poster attack someone like Rick no holes barred then find out that in their real life they meekly attend the Kingdom Hall because they can't find the courage to take stand. If this forum is to have any real value it needs people who act the same way here as they would if you were facing them in person so please stick around.

  BTW I went back and watched Rick's interview with you. I thought it was pretty cool.

  Go easy on the women Outlaw. I don't know who the one on the right is but the one on the left is Joan Cetnar. Joan and her husband were the people most feared by JWs in Orange County California back when I was a JW. Scary stories about them were circulated around the Kingdom Halls in OC. After I left the Watchtower I had the opportunity to meet and hang out with them on several occassion. She is a very nice person and so was her husband.

  I would have liked to attend one of those conventions but never got the chance. I guess never will now.

  They started lying and rewriting their history right after 1914 when nothing they had been prophesying came true. And they have been lying and rewriting their history ever since. Like most liars they have trouble keeping their story straight and are forever saying things that contradict what they previously stated.

  "Cemetery Witnessing" on Memorial Day

  by Morbidzbaby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been wondering if this is just something that's done in my area, or if people do it all over.. every year on memorial day, a lot of people meet for fs and then when they break into groups, they all discuss which cemeteries they are going to "work".

  every major cemetery in the city is divvied up.

  the idea is, they take a stack of small tracts (usually the what hope for dead loved ones) and they basically park the car in the cemetery and walk around handing them out to the mourners.

  I don't remember anyone doing that at the halls I attended doing that. I think most of the people at the halls I went to were a little more reasonable and didn't do the real obnoxious stuff like hanging around cemetaries bothering people. I guess we went out door knocking on Memorial Day. We used have congregation picnics on Memorial Day but I think the put a stop the that because it was fun.

  I was wondering long it has been since they came out with the new song book? Up to the time of this change were they still using the one they used in the early seventies. I think that one was purple.

  I remember when I first started going to the KH thinking how god awful the music was. I think it was the first or second time I went I took a friend with me. He started laughing at one of the songs. It had some line about God's enemies biting the dust that set him off. Like Prophecor I've also thought that I should have known something was wrong by the lousy music. I guess I'm fortunate because I don't have that poison rattling around in my head.

  my first video in 8 months or so, hope it came out ok and is as biting of a satire as i thought it would be..

  I thought your video was very good and got the point across but I don't know if many jdubs will get it. About a week ago my JW mother-in-law was watching the news and they were covering the Camping prediction and she made a comment about how stupid he was. I answered here by saying there is always some idiot who thinks they know when the end will be based some sort of weird math and the Bible. She never replied and I'm not sure she got the point.

  I also liked the soundtrack on your video. I just got done reading Sammy Hagar's book and it was nice to hear some of his music.
