I have to route for the Royals! TAKE THE CROWN! My brother was a scout for KC for over 30yrs. He was instrumental in signing George Bret back in the 80's and wore a 1985 World Series ring. Have to admit I do not follow baseball closely but those last playoffs games were really fun to watch. The boys really had some terrific plays.
Looks like tonights game goes to SF but we have 6 more Take The Crown!

so the Paradise Lost book was like a zillion years ago, they didn't know any better, child psychology and how images impress on young minds. But they go and do it over and over and now it's is a Coloring Book! We just turned the pages and these kids are traceing the image and filling in the colors and shading for more details. This one clearly shows a womens Face. Ours at least was just a blurry mound.
There must be a law, somewhere, this is child mental abuse. Form a committee.

Hello, I have not posted here for years but the Coloring Book of Lots Wife has distrubed something in me. I saw it yesterday on FB so came here to see the discussion. I have been Out for over 10yrs and almost daily I am shocked by another WT revelation. This time the EXECUTION of Lots wife as a childs activity gave me a Flash Back to the first day I opened the Paradise Lost book when I was 7yrs old. That and the pictures of the Flood and Armageddon where burned into my mind. As I lay in bed last night I understood the impact those images have had on my entire life. I follwed to the letter the shunning of disfellowshiped ones, even relatives and close friends. I was 50yrs old before I became sensitive to the fact that my religion taught me not to care that 6 Billion people were to be Executed because they were not Jdubs.
Tears are rolling down my face now as I realise thousands of children rasied by Jdubs are looking at those images right now. More minds are being twisted and desensitized. So sad and makes my stomach turn.
Thanks for listening.

JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?
by KateWild ini saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.
they were not actively approaching anyone.
what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

I was recently traveling, on vacation in Costa Rica. In La Foutuna, very small town in North Central CR I saw The Trolly! I had read here on JWN about the trolly but never seen it in WA State or anywhere in the US. All the literature was in Spanish and the two Jdubs attending were just as most you discribe, just chatting between themselves. It was a busy Town Square and no one approached them the whole time we were walking about taking pictures of the foutain and scupltures there. I was a little flustered by their presence so did not think to take a picture, sorry.

How Many Remember the Mass Skating Rink Parties of the Late 70's ?
by Perry inthey were a hoot weren't they?.

Late 60's, Glacier Falls, Anahiem, CA, Sunday nights I believe. Also somewhere in Paramont and might have gone to Pasadena a few times too,can't remember. As teenage Jdubs we had no school activities so these skating parties were our only recreation. Wonderful memories but yes I remember there was lots of criticizum and the events got slowed down to like once a month.
When my children became preteens I was the mom who organized the Skating Parties. It often turned into family nights where even the dads/elders showed up. Pure fun. I still want to JUMP every time I hear Van Halen.

I clicked "Born In and never really accepted". Even though it took me 50yrs to exit I never grasped what the hell they were talking about. I liked my social circle, warm and fuzzy. I liked the routien and clean living concepts. But all my life the "living forever in Paradise" just never took. How is that going to work? AS IF! One day I finally dicided I cannot teach this nonsense to one more poor slob.

"Well angels don't make mistakes"
guess he didn't read the part of Genesis where the angels came down to breed with women. If I were a woman, I'd be kinda creeped out to think that angels were listening to my prayers... and watching me in the shower.
Billy, best laugh I've had all day. And Yet! I used to think about that very thing.
about being "late" to meetings. I was habitually late. Gave myself a past because I had 4 children to get ready. I would often send my elder husband off in his own car with the kids that were ready, phew. It was not until I left that I came to understand it was the dread of that boring and arrogant program they put on. I dare not allow myself to think it was Them and not Me. I browbeat myself and tried and tried to be more prompt. I would make one meeting on time and give myself a Attaboy and then return to my old ways.Thank goodness I had a husband who stood up for me when anyone would refer to me as Sister Tardy.

Literature carts are the cruisiest way to preach ever - photo attached
by jwfacts init was a perfect spring day, and a jazz band were playing in the mall near my work.

My husband works at our local community college, YVCC. The Jdubs have literature tables set up near the HUB or cafateria 3 days a week. A couple of dubs sit there just talking among themselves for 4-5 hrs. He has never seen a student engage them other than a few mentaly challenged students.
Where do these Literature Carts come from? Who makes them? Our local guys could use a make-over to the Cart Look.
