Ray Hartman was the guy's name. Alan and Sister Hood were certainly funny, but stuck up, and hated the Buffalo cold. Cool to hear about them ten years after I knew them.

39JWs who were actually cool
by Black Man inwe always talk about the crazy j-dub fundy types, but i knew some cool jws (co, do, bethelites, pio) during my time.
this is kind of a "where are they now" post along with acknowledginig some jws who were cool and down-to-earth.
as with most "cool" and good people in the borg, most of them are either not jws anymore (burned out) or are not "serving" in responsible positions (funny how that works, isn't it).

my husband sympathizes with the religion because his entire family is "in".
as a result, he has come to know a local jw (non-relative).

When I was young, I was told that I could leave literature at folks' houses if it was old and people were not home. Otherwise it was compulsory to ring the bell or knock
Same thing for early morning landrymat witnessing. If you spoke to somebody you could count a placement if you flipped them onto a counter. If you just left them without a word, you don't get any statisical addition to report.

by Cygnus inabsalom, a complete asshole, met an untimely death, and even though he caused untold trouble to his father, david still wept bitterly over his son, 'absalom,oh my son absalom!

And at the end of one of Rush's more emotional songs, Distant Early Warning (1984), Geddy calls out "Absalom! Absalom!" It always brings tears to my eyes.

Why So Many JWs Are Sick ( and What to Do About it)
by metatron ini'm not a medical professional - but i feel very strongly about this issue and want to pass it along.. why are so many witnesses so sick?
why do they often seem to be plagued by strange, chronic illnesses - that often appear.
to have a strong psychosomatic element?

What if you're not emotionally inclined do let it all hang out, like me? Exercise, surely, is a good thing, but man, some of us just ain't into what you are suggesting.

Adam was created in 4026 BCE. 6000 years makes 1975 AD. As Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, the millenial reign comes at the beginning of the 50,000th year of creation. Year 49,000. But since Eve was still yet to be created, 1975 wasn't it. The creative day hadn't quite ended yet; Jehovah hadn't rested yet. So you gotta add Adam's age when Eve was created to 1975 to get the date for the great tribulation's start. That's how I remember it going.

That's either gonna be a rah-rah party, or a yelling and screaming session, or just something to make Joe Publisher say: Wow, that must be IMPORTANT STUFF FROM JEHOVAH. I better do my part better in service to him. Well, that's how it makes me feel anyway.

I really have no opinion. I live in Buffalo where the worst we get are Super Bowl letdowns, one big snow storm a year, and recycled Johnny Carson jokes. Well, the city is broke, crime is still rampant, but whatever..........
I just think it's great to see Robdar, Gretchen and Amazing posting. :) And that prophecor dude is totally cool with me too.
