  ok, i thought the comparison of these two videos back to back was hillarious so i have to share this with you all and get your thoughts.

  video #1: singing at a jw assembly - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-vxlqe3-sg (and don't forget to check out the comments below the video!).

  video #2: singing at a small church somewhere: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9094243614884928480&q=gospel+singing&hl=en.

  I love when they turn and run as fast as they can away from you!!

  today i was at burlington baby depot registering for my baby shower, stolling up and down the aisles and scanning.

  low and behold, down the aisle comes a dub.

  as soon as she set eyes on me, she backed out of the aisles as fast as she could, as if i was throwing poop at her.

  What do you think the Society's future holds?

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i get the feeling the society is gonna suffer a huge loss of number, with people who are in getting old, those 'raised' in the so called truth leaving and less and less interested ones because more people are aware.. .

  it has its ups and downs but it seems the ups aren't as big as they used to, some never recovered from 1975 and others from the 1995 generation thingy.. your thoughts?.

  Physical attributes in men and women

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they say that in women (physical) looks are the most important factor for attracting a mate whereas for men it is other things eg personality, wealth, status, as if there are a lot more aspects to male existence.

  .

  so how would you choose (or did) choose a mate, eg was a woman's physical side of paramount importance or did you also weigh that seriously against character personality, culture, etc.

  Relationships and 'theocratic' career

  by cyberdyne systems 101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you notice or experience the fact that to have an approved romantic relationship you had to be baptised, and for men often you would be expected to be a min servant or elder, or at the very least reaching out in the congregation.

  i'm sure others had other rules such as being a pioneer or something.

  its another area where you are pressured into conforming to a certain ideal - not a scriptural one but an organisational one.

  Has the rules changed?

  by pratt1 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a relative of my wife, just got engaged to a "worldly guy".. the young lady is a baptized publisher, and i am shocked to hear that no one has made a negative comment about her future husband not being an dub.. even her mother who is a pioneer has not made an issue of the engagement.. has things changed?.

  are the elders easing up a little on the rank and file?.
