  The Life of Pioneers...

  by The Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know why but sometimes like to check up my old/self righteous friend, gary kennedy from bethel on face book....he is a pioneer in ecuador.

  yes and just like most pioneers he likes to brag on his selfless life style.

  he is serving the lord my sitting at home and writing out thousands of letters long hand all day long to count his time.

  Misheard song lyrics

  by jhine in

  2. entertainment

  i thought that as there seems to have been some very serious sh-stuff being discussed lately maybe a light hearted thread might be in order .

  i was thinking about misheard song lyrics ( climb every woman ) and it seemed a good topic for a thread .to start off for many years l thought that fat boy slim was singing about some very posh shoes with funk soul rubber on the bottom .

  has anyone else realised that they have been singing the wrong words ?

  A Salute to Petra/Atlantis

  by Slidin Fast in

  whilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.

  i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.

  no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.

  Happy Alcoholic Jehovah's Witnesses

  by The Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for many years since the witness organization, after i have told people that i'm no longer a jehovah's witness, people would say "oh the religion were people are not allowed to drink!".

  "no they drink alright.....they can't do much of anything else but they do drink!".

  in fact the first place i ever got drunk was bethel.

  i'm a postman so i get 4 to 5 hours every day with my headphones on and i'm really chewing through some stuff.

  i'm after science (evolutionary biology and anthropology especially), history of religion and comedy.

  old sci-fi audio books are also a favourite.

  Do Circuit Overseers outrank Elders? Why can't they talk to disfellowshipped people?

  by garyneal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last sunday, our family went to the kingdom hall and i realized that this was the week that the circuit overseer was in town.

  when we sat down, i noticed he came over and talked to her then he walked away i guess to talk to others.

  a few minutes later, he returned to tell her that he could not talk to her because he was informed that she was disfelloshipped.
