  DO I SMELL?

  by exwitless in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know there's already a huge thread about thread killing.

  however, since i seem to have perfected this skill while still in newbiehood, i thought i would just check.

  if i smell and no one wants to be near me, just say so.

  You have only been posting for a couple of weeks, if you have something worthwhile discussing, I am sure you will have quite a large number of responses. Give it a chance, this is not like the KH's you know!

  You were well welcomed to the forum, just relax, you've left, but don't think you are going to get a speedy response from those elders. It will take them some time to get their brains into gear. I have not been to the local KH for 13 years and I think they like my absence, nobody else ever rocks the boat and asks awkward questions which they can't answer!

  Best wishes from another newbie

  OMG Have you ever taken a keyboard apart to clean it?

  by Lady Lee in

  2. friends

  i did this years ago and it was so gross i didn't want to do it again.

  and each key came out separately - a real pain when you wanted to put it all back together.

  my good ergonomic keyboard wouldn't put in spaces so typing was a pain.

  Brigido and others, I have scanned the first 2 pages of August 1974 KingdomMinistry and the 4 pages of inserts, they should be available here:

  OK Ania, lovely shots, when can I visit? Cotswolds in the UK isn't too bad except for those JWs, although they seem to have stopped calling recently!! I expect they will be here soon with the new tract (I actually already have a copy)

  Keep posting those lovely pictures.

  Pre 1970 Awakes were not reprinted by the Soc.

  One of the best items indicating the end was in 1975 was a 4 page insert dated September 8th 1974 in the KM for that month. At that time they said, "In this concluding portion of the "time of the end"?" They were encouraging dubs to do full time preaching and make sure they had no 'blood guilt'.

  The item is headed: 'To All Dedicated Servants of Jehovah'. I have mentioned this before and assumed that others had found their copy. If anybody wants it I could scan and certainly put up the text on the site.

  Does anyone else remember this item or have a copy. Perhaps Danny has it on his site although I haven't seen it.

  2006 July 15 QFR

  by Haereticus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in our version of the qfr there is one passage that is worded somewhat "foggy".

  i would like to see the original text and all i am interested is the paragraph that deals with anal and oral sex and has porneia-related subheading.

  in finnish version it is the last paragraph on page 29.. i would appreciate a quotation of the original text in english.. mark.

  There is an elder in Tewkesbury Cong. U.K. who is always using the expression, 'Gor Blymey', he doesn't seem to have the sense to realize it means, 'God blind me'. Perhaps he will one day!!

  The Dubs had better start another case here in England, several areas are banning 'cold calling',

  even the wtbts has problems with traffic, surely they should be able to deal with this with their direct line to jehovah!.

  perhaps they could spend some money and build a bridge across route 22, they have plenty..

  i am new to the jw world, not one, but do love one.

  met a man who down to the tee is amazing.

  he is a great man, the only thing i am not so sure about is his "religious" beliefs.
