i don't know too much about freemasons but i have a friend who belongs to them and says that they are religious people of different denominations and the do good.
i don't see exactly what it is that they do....but i get the distinct feeling that it's not right.
could someone enlighten me.
There have been quite a few forum topics and discussions on the connection between jw's and Freemasons so it might be worth having a trawl through previous posts.
I tried to look for one to post a link for you but couldn't find them, but they are on here.
long time lurker, first time poster.. .
rather than just posting a no-content hello post, i wanted to share my story.
this gets long, but consider it a form of self-therapy or something :) .
Welcome Thrall. Its funny how you read in the Watchtower about brothers being persecuted for not doing military service and the jw's persecute you for doing it!
I look forward to reading your posts.
Mark.
i just wanted to say thank you to all those who welcomed me.
i am glad to be here!
it feels good to know others are going through the same things.
Hi beautifulisfree and can I just say:
WELCOME
a recent thread about the experience of attending the 1969 convention as a young child really started me thinking.
i have several fuzzy memories of assemblies i attended as very young child.
this got me onto the track of the rather odd, uncomfortable or even really cool buildings i have visited over the years as a result of those conventions.. so my questions to everyone are:.
Twickenham rugby football ground, just outside London, was good as it was under the flight path of Heathrow airport so they used to fly really low. I can remember when I was young trying to see the tail flag of each plane to see where it had come from/going to and getting a cuff round the ear regularly for not paying attention to the speaker. When Concorde went over the speaker always stopped as you couldn't hear a word he was saying! In my last year I was an attendant so I could spend the whole day wondering up and down the concourse without having to look up one damn scripture! That was the best year.
saw the first robin of the season today.
this is wisconsin.
saturday it's supposed to reach high 50's.. don't laugh you rebels.
We see them every day here in the UK even throughout the winter which is why they are fondly known as "the gardeners friend".
.
how about the "godly oatmeal" convention.
....or how about the "divine chocolate cake" assembly?
Manipulation of the scriptures and how to use them convention.

hi everyone, been reading here for a long time and have to say how much i enjoy all of your stories, insight and opinions.
this is my first time posting but i remembered something today that i thought was worth sharing.
when i was a teenager and going to the hall (i successfully faded about seventeen years ago), there was a family who would come to the hall in all their sunday finery (better clothes than we can afford), drove up in their nice luxury vehicle etc.
WELCOME MISBEHAVE.
