yes people, it's that time of year again!

it's the time when all dubs are "encouraged" to pioneer.

in my neck of the woods, the streets are crawling with them, standing under the burning under the hot sun, trying to "make their hours" before heading off to work in the morning.

thanks so much for the really warm welcome.

just a small confession .. my last post was actually written a couple months ago before i'd gotten the nerve to post.

i copied and pasted it ... and forgot to update it.. my wedding came off in december 2006, and my mom did attend.

Golden Age Goodies

2. scandals
recently i had the pleasure to examine a stash of 1920s and 1930s golden age magazines, among the rarest of watchtower publications.

i thought it would be a fun idea to have a thread in which i share with you some of the amazing, ridiculous, hilarious things contained therein.

hence, this is the first post of a series of excerpts, scans, etc.

Cruel Joke by Circuit Overseer

i was reading the thread about the prospect of the wts releasing some new light shite about a prophecy to fulfil the fact that they are not growing and it brought back a really horrid memory, unintentional i know but horrid nonetheless.. the co visited the congregation were i was from and after the obligatory song and prayer, it was announced that the co needed to speak to us urgently on a local needs issue.

he came onto the platform his look was sombre and melancholy (nothing new there then).

he said he had an announcement from the governing body and that their had been a law passed that day which banned jw's in the uk that the usa and other world governments had notified the wts that they were to follow suit shortly.

what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.
