the other day i happened to make my monthly stop at the local fast food joint when i usually borrow one of the community newspapers for an afternoon read.
this time around i see a couple of wt magazines.
as always, my concerns for my fellow man caused me to grab these toxic items for a later meal -- a meal fed to my cross cut shredder at home.
The WTBTS is a religion of hate
I never realised just how true that statement is until a recent meeting with my wife's PO
He is so full of hatred and yet, 'The Elder's Book' calls for a PO to be 'a kindly man',
worst of all to maintain their position they will tell the most outrageous lies.
It didn't appear to me to be like this back in the 60's and 70's,
I think 'Stay alive to 75'' had an effect on many from which they have never recovered.

this was before the elder arrangement.
in the 1950's our congregation servant's wife handled the accounts--by appointment from the society.
in the early 1960's it was a practice to allow a sister to handle the congregation book study if there was a shortage of brothers.
In 1963, Cheltenham UK - Book servant and Watchtower servant were both women,
Worked very well.

we all know that skilled songwriters the brothers are not, so what are your most hated kingdom songs?
the ones that made you cringe when you saw them listed on the km or watchtower?
mine?.
I HATE them ALL!!

do you by any chance have any famous relatives?
i personally don't have any, not living ones anyway.
does anyone remember this one?
i was just starting associating in the mid-60s and heard this one from the jws i was associating with.
one jw friend told me: "don't you know macdonalds puts blood into their hamburgers?
Yes, there were quite a few of these claims from the Dubs in the 60's,
in Cheltenham (UK) Cong. they claimed that Wall's sausages contained blood,
I was working for Unilever at the time and had access to Walls production lines,
it was a load of rubbish, there was no extra blood, the pigs were slaughtered and bled the same as any other meat was.
It was the same as the aluminium scare earlier on, just a load of hype.

i would be interested in how many of you reading this db, have experienced, or heard of other people having experienced this wonderful trait among god's chosen people.. 41/2 years ago, my jw wife of 25 years, secrectly planned an escape from the marriage, with the help of her spiritual brothers and sisters.
we were having some problems at the time.
for the previous 6 years we would spend our xmas vacation in florida.
Treachery is part and parcel of being a JW.
bttt
Just found this thread, how true it is,
why do the Dubs preach honesty and truth and practice the opposite?

my dad put up with a lot of crap from the jw's when my mom divorced him and took us kids away.
so when he got the chance he would mess with them at the door.
my favorite question he asked 2 sisters when they came.. "if the bible says a wife is to give her husband his due, then do you have relations with your husband because you love him or because the bible says to?".
I'm the same as Brinjen, they just don't call no more!
I wonder why?

does any know if memorial wines were always domestic?
this is from mad-cow.org from sep 99.
"...advocating that french wines carry labels warning of possible contamination with animal blood infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (bse, or 'mad cow' disease).
http://www.brsquared.org/wine/Articles/fining.htm
"Blood
Blood (usually defibrinated ox blood) contains 70 g/l active fining proteins and is used to reduce tannins (young reds). Typical dosages are 0.1-0.15 g/l for whites and 0.15-0.25 g/l for reds.
Preparation involves mixing in cold water and leaving to swell (dissolution of albumins helped by adding potassium bicarbonate).
Fining with blood is fairly rapid."
If it's untrue, why are there instructions on how to do it?

JW charitable status is a joke, there is NOTHING charitable about them,
it's just a TAX SCAM to put more money in their coffers,

less than one week after meeting with two elders who had been told of my visiting this site, a good friend called me.
he said his mother (age 73), in a different city from me, called him and told him she heard i was now an apostate.
now how the hell did that happen?
Of course it's ALL confidential!!!
My wife, a JW sister told an Elder something,
he told his mother, his mother told my son
My son told me, so I told my wife!
And she still believes 'elders keep confidentialities', they are unbeatable!!!!
