  ever wonder if the editors or writers of the w@a rewrite older articles in the newer mags?

  it seems that the new articles in the new mags talk about the same old things in the same old ways but are different "topics of discussion".

  after reading an article i keep thinking, "haven't i just read this in another article in some other awake?

  whats the deal with long hair

  by aoxo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to add to the previous thread regaurding beards i have a similar issue with long hair.

  i wanted so long to grow it out but of course couldn't.

  there is, however a scripture that baffled me, 1co 11:14 "does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him; but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her?

  fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

  well it seems that my first big mistake leaving the j-dubs was continuing to be trusting of others.

  i was trying to sell a fish tank on postaroo.com for $50.

  banned bands and songs

  by aoxo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anybody have the bethal list of banned musicians and songs.

  i remember after my sister got baptised she said that the brother who dunked her under told her not to listen to a song, i think it was "new sensation" or something like that which was a popular song for the 80's period.

  i remember a lot of songs being banned because of lyrics that had nothing to do with what they thought it had to do with.

  giving a talk

  by aoxo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading "crises of conscience" and came to a part that described the governing body meetings and how some of the gb were asleep and not realy paying attention to the subject at hand but raised their hands at the end of the meeting just to agree with the new resolution despite how it may affect the bro's and sis of the cong.

  it reminded me how elders critiqueing my talks and telling me i had to work on a certain point like gestures when i worked damn hard to get checked good on that point and realizing that they weren't paying attention to my talk at all.

  other times i was marked good on some point that i didn't even bother to read up on in the tmsgb.

  missed out

  by aoxo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because i grew up in the truth i missed out on a whole lot of kids at school that i could have been great friends with.

  also a couple of girls that i could have had a first relationship with.

  i missed out on family moments each year exchanging gifts with relatives that i could have enjoyed (or not enjoyed) seeing during holidays.

  what i hate the most about being a witness is having to wear suits all the time.

  especialy out in service in hot weather.

  but i miss seeing all those sisters in those tight controversial dresses.
