I think you just can't beat a nice, cold frosty diet coke. Or diet Pepsi, I don't care.
I will order some calcium tablets tomorrow.

Do you think that JW's will publish an updated Rev book to downplay the UN
by booker-t inwith all the scandal about the un do you feel that the gb will have to print a "new" and updated book on rev to disregard the un being the beast of rev so the new jw's coming in won't even be aware that for over 100 years the jw's taught that the un was a disgusting beast and part of satan's organization?

Dr Laura
by AuntieJane ina lady caller (catholic) today who married a df'd jw.
she called dr. laura because the grandparents put their beliefs in the little 3 year old's head...not going to heaven because she isn't a jw, etc.
dr. laura, in true fashion, said that the lady who called was irresponsible because she 1) should not leave a young child alone, unsupervised, with people who are filling her head full of "stuff" that they don't agree with; and 2) because they are hostile to her husband, the df'd jw.. she blasted the lady who called about leaving her kid with these grandparents.

I used to like her, but she bugs big time now.
I remember, as she really became famous, I called, and actually got on the air. She did not take the time to find out what my question for her actually was. She thought she knew it all before finding out, which she never took the time to do. And she does the same thing to a ton of people on her show.
Granted, she does not have much time, and some of the people that call are truly idots, but she cannot do a good job with the limited time she has, and needs to learn patience, or have the screener not even take the call.

ok, door to door question.......
by freedom96 ini am always teasing my wife about having a "country club" upbringing as a witness.. in the hall i grew up in, and those i attended for a few years after turning 18, were pretty hard core.
i tease her about how easy she had it.
which, in my mind was clearly the case, but that is another story.. this case involves going out in service.. in my halls, you went out almost regardless of weather.

I am always teasing my wife about having a "country club" upbringing as a witness.
In the hall I grew up in, and those I attended for a few years after turning 18, were pretty hard core. I tease her about how easy she had it. Which, in my mind was clearly the case, but that is another story.
This case involves going out in service.
In my halls, you went out almost regardless of weather. This was central California, and though we didn't fight snow, there were some mornings that were quite cold and / or raining. Didn't matter, you better go out in service. Holiday's, of course, how could you not go out in service when you had a day off from work, and you could catch a lot of people at home.
Some people yes, would go for a coffee break at a donut shop, but only a few. Usually, you worked a solid two hours, then you were free to go home, unless you had some not-at-homes to go do.
Now, we had a territory that was divided from a map of the city. Each one was the side of an index card, and carefully had the areas where the houses, streets, and blocks were laid out. A typical morning would consist of 4 in a car, maybe two car groups. One car would take a block. Two ways to do it. In groups of two, and maybe a small child, you could do every other house, and if you stayed at one house for a while, the other couple would do every house until you caught up. OR, one would go one way, and the other group would go in the opposite direction until you met up somewhere in the middle.
So, my experience was that of above. I put in serious door to door time. One of the reasons I get pissed off when I see same dumb ass witnesses sitting behind a table at the airport, and counting that as time. Come on! That isn't real time!
Now, comes the conversation I had with my wife. She is from New England. They didn't have nearly as many city "blocks" as I had, but there were their fair share of streets lined with houses. But get this: She says a normal day out in service, even in good weather, consisted of this: One car group. Stop at the curb, and two witnesses would get out. You would do one or two houses, then come back to the car. The car group would then drive two houses further, and then the other two would get out and do a house or two. Imagine if it was a van! Then you hardly would have to go out.
She says that this is how it was done out there. I could hardly believe my ears!! What the hell did she have to complain about?? Talk about a "country club" witness!!
Did you guys go out like I did, or her, or how was it where you are from?

Follow the money......
by mjl inhas anyone ever tried to follow the money the wtbs collect?
it's almost as bad as watching a shell game in new york city.
here is one of my biggest problems... the building fund.

This is a huge deal. Many witnesses simply cannot afford to help pay for the Kingdom Hall. The fact is that the society has so much money that they can easily afford to build the hall themselves. But yes, to charge the ones who attend that hall, with interest, and then own the hall anyways is about as criminal as it gets in this case.

JW Rock Band
by spero injust thought some of you might be interested in the music website of a new rock and roll / blues band.. .
nothing new there you might think, but...all the band members are active (?
) witnesses, all supposedly "in good standing", and including at least two elders, an ms and a pio.

Yes, interesting. Their new site talks nothing about their witness background. I would think that they would be proud.
And they say that many bands/ businesses don't talk about their personal life. That is a bunch of crap as there are endless people in the entertainment community that love to talk about themselves.
Sounds like they have something to hide.
