Found an Old Letter
by Scully in

i was going through an old file folder a few days ago and came across this letter i wrote to our old congregation regarding renovations that had been proposed.

at the time, i was very upset with the way the proposals were steam-rollered through (i think the sentiment comes across nicely in my letter lol).

has anything like this ever happened elsewhere??

everyone remember a few years ago with the gb decided that the rank and file witness just wasn't bugging the hell out of enough people because no one was ever home saturday morning?

they came up with the brainstorming idea to approach people in parking lots!!!

(ya, that goes over reeeeeeeal well)......as if going to the person's home to tell them about their imminent death wasn't bad enough, now ya gotta tell them when they're out shopping!

Serious Question
by Prisca in
1. social
2. relationships
as we all know the society has very strict guidelines regarding conduct between the sexes.

in the cong i grew up in, it was so small-minded that if you were single, and seen talking to a member of the opposite sex, you were presumed to be in some sort of relationship with him/her.. sex before marriage is out of the question, with heavy petting also looked down upon.

dating is a serious affair, with all onlookers expecting engagement/marriage to be the outcome.

2. entertainment
according to a post on h20 which led me to the pbs website, there will be an original movie on wed. 6/14/00.

the movie is about a german preacher (not jw) who stood up to the nazis and suffered greatly.

it should be worth watching.
