jw
friends

everyone has their own idiosyncrises, mine is- .

when i get a new book, i'll open it up to the middle of the book and stick my nose in the binding for about ten seconds, and smell how the glue, ink, and fresh paper smell.

ahhhh i love that smell.

i always peel satsumas so that the skin is in the shape of an elephant's head

not like this. i peel mine in one piece. with a long trunk and two big ears. i'd say it resembles an african elephant more than an indian one.

by AlanF in

i'd like to get comments from people about whether and how much they were shocked, surprised, or otherwise bothered by the watchtower society's becoming an associated non-governmental organization (ngo).. note that i'd like to see these comments because they might lead to some interesting publicity, so please comment accordingly.. alanf

do you think it is a plan to self fulfill the prophecy of un turning on the society or bringing about its downfall in some way?

How do the Kigdom Melodies compare to Christendom's Songs?

by Honesty in

i just have to comment about the canned wtbts music on cd the local congregations play on $150 cd players through $20 speakers set in the foamboard ceilings at their sales meetings worship services.

what a joke the music is that they use to sing praises.

the lyrics remind me of a high school pep rally with all the emphasis on 'we're joe hoba's witnesses and yada-yada-yah preaching from door to door and from house to house' or 'life everlasting in the pair-o-dice' crap that just tickles the dubbies ears so much they get all pretty and pink.

i think that the control aspect of the dubs is encapsulated in the song,

let's watch how we walk and watch how we talk, etc.

my new "worldly" friends were gobsmacked when they heard the lyrics. but i guess i just sang along not realising what i was singing.

i also used to wonder about the kingdom melodies being divinely inspired. lots of them have the almost the same melodies of hymns that i have heard.

What does it MEAN, to be Baptised....

by LittleToe in

a few years ago, while i was still a jw, i started a topic on baptism:.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/14060/1.ashx.

i wasn't aware of the in's-and-out's of the subject, just that i felt that my own baptism as a jw was somehow invalid, and wanted to do it properly.

zaphod

if you didn't answer the two questions is your baptism valid?

i remember i was really nervous and had a dry mouth and one of the yeses did not come out.

did my baptism count?
