i understand from another thread that there were instances of this.. know any?
In small towns in Tn as a teenager i.e. >13 beer was no prob. All a person had to do was look as if they had put in a days labor (feilds or const) set your $ on the counter and walk withyour beer.
I remember having drinking partys at my parents house. Dad was the PO. My younger bro (13) had a sit down bar in his bedroom so after the Fri. night meeting it would be a sleep over, with more than a few in attendance and plenty of beer for all.

someone said that the water canopy prevented sunlight reaching earth!.

I believe Noah did take some kind of lite onboard with him. Either Bud or Miller.

i like this point, point 7. .
Crass materialism? This must the boat one takes to the lake on Sun. afternoon, the beach house traveled a distance to, or the motorhome for making extended road trips. Materialism= reason to miss meetings and service.
i just got back from a trip designed to conquer a fear.
i have always been afraid to camp by myself in the deep woods, and last week i set out to change that.
next night.
A 357 is light artilery. I would prefere a 300 mag.

Sound like a great experience. I've camped in AZ, CA, and TN and always brought along a firearm. Was in AK last month and would not consider camping unarmed.
i remember when i was a kid it wasn't unusual for someone to ask a question of the conductor during the bookstudy.
not that often but occasionally.
in my most recent years as a dub i can't recall anyone ever asking any questions.
My 200 level physics class was like this. The only problems the teacher would work on the board were the examples in the book, so she just copied directly out of the book. She couldn't answer any side questions.
So the book study and phy221 left many questions to be answered.
i just finished watching a discovery health channel program called "the critical hour," which featured the cases of four trauma patients (9:00 pm, edt).
i missed the beginning of the program, but apparently an elderly jw woman suffered a fall, was critically injured, and her only option for survival was surgery plus blood transfusions.
while she was still able to speak, she refused blood; later her jw husband, accompanied by the ever-present liaison committee jw, also refused the transfusion.
They need to do a follow up story, since some time has elapsed, on how the hubby feels now that his mate is gone!!!
this irks me.. a press release means the watchtower sent it to the paper right?.
it not only pushes child baptism it makes a celebrity of them.. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/cu0608/s00241.htm.
youths who are bucking the trend.
Sasha the statement you made: sorry, why would this irk you? There are others in this world who have changed bad habits through other religions, or AA or other ways...again, why does this irk you.? It seems you are using the "strawman defense" in other words you changed the point the original poster said irked them. They said nothing about changing bad habits. The original poster said that child baptism irked them as it does me. If we were to be baptized as a child then why did Jesus wait till he was 30 years old? The jws don't follow Christ's example. How old were you when you were baptized? Who's example do the jws follow? Were there other jw children baptized in your cong.? Uwuf
i could not have a big new kids on the block pin, or wear any new kids on the block pins in puplic becuase it was considered idolatry.
i also could not wear my shoes without laces (it was cool back then) because it looked wordly.
what other strange theings besides the usual holiday/birthday stuff weren't you allowed to do?
I remember the candy bar ordeal when I was a kid. Even as a child I could see how irrational this was. Wasn't there also a letter writing campaign to the manufactures to get them to remove blood from the candy bars?
For me no at school freinds I could also tell the other kid parents felt for me. As they would make special efforts to include me, they would even call my parents to ask if I could attend after school functions, Hayrides, Scouts, Ball games, and partys. My school was small 1-12 had only 300 pupils.

our congregation had some of the best circuit overseers money could buy!.

SSPO If my memory serves me correctly the $130.00 amount was standard every time they came around. Yes and IMO the CO was the first tier of paid clergy in the wts. To paraphrase someone else who pays my bills ----- I do ------- they obviously don't pay their own. Didn't they also get $ at the end of the circuit ass.
