  so i'm getting out of class and on my way home.

  school is a good 10-13 miles away from home in another community.

  i'm on the main drag heading to the freeway, when suddenly i hear this thumping sound in the back.

  by SirNose586 in

  if you're on the do not call list and you live in the us, or if you want to join it so you can be left alone, i have good news: at the last meeting, the congregation was informed that from now on, "dncs are supposed to be checked on by telephone, not at the door by publishers.

  do not call to update the records.

  a group of brothers will be assigned to check on these by telephone.".

  Thoughts on the public prayer of Witnesses

  by SirNose586 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many years ago, a brother gave a public talk on prayer wherein he stated that "each prayer should be like a snowflake--no two should be exactly the same.

  " i agreed with his sentiments, and as a good little jw boy, i resolved that each prayer i said to god would be unique.

  however, there was a problem with my resolution: i could never see examples of older people making sure that each prayer was unique.

  Should I warn this householder of the danger?

  by SirNose586 in

  2. experiences

  i was out today and working with a well-indoctrinated brother ("brother b").

  we were hitting houses with tracts then running, until we went on his call.

  brother b was trying to give him an asleep and a tract, and invite him to the talk today, which was given by a bethelite (and it was a heavy indoctrination session, which is another story).

  Voting with their wallet

  2. friends

  when i came here in may, i began to see phrases like "voting with their wallets" or "voting with their feet" in regards to declining contributions and declining attendance figures.

  i think i am seeing the former in action..... last sunday i went to the local ca.

  at the half they read the accounts report--aka, cough up that dough report--and there was a "$4,000 deficit.

  this is fascinating.

  normally, if your pc's internal clock is off, it would be slow, right?

  4 seconds pass in the space of 2.78 seconds.

  Mel Gibson is out of control

  .

  this is some hilarious tomfoolery.

  his charles manson-esque beard doesn't seem to help, either.. mel may be a powerful guy, but something tells me there'll be a price to pay for his anti-semitic remarks, even if they were made in a sauced-up state.
