forgive me europe for i know you have all commenced and ended your night but what are you all drinking this evening?
what are your thoughts?
what arenyour plans since you may not be out in service tomorrow?
I don't drink 80 proof alcohol anymore, so just beer and wine. Today and the weekends fave will be a Red from the Beringer Collection, nothing fancy.
However, tonight I just tried out a recipe for roasted lentils, instead of having potato chips, popcorn, etc. came out quite nice and crunchy.
i only heard about these atms last year on this forum.
the poster seemed to be saying they are for donating only, is that correct?
absolutely gobsmacked over this, don't the brothers see any correlation between this and the likes of jimmy swaggart?
If my mom were still alive and the Dubs found out that the Catholic or any other religion installed ATM machines in their churches, I can here it now, "isn't that something how Christendom has placed ATM machines in their churches instead of passing the plate every Sunday, yada, yada yada. . . however, if she were still alive and heard that the Dubs installed ATMs she would say, "oh, what a lovely provision by the Elders and Jehovah if you don't have the correct amount of cash on you, you can just use your bank card" . . . makes me wanna puke!! And trust me, that's exactly what she and other UBERDUBS would say
it's been a few years since the organization ended the book study arrangement in private homes.. gone was the last opportunity to have tea and biscuits and a natter with the friends afterwards.. do you think people regret losing the book study?
for some, it may have been the only time they were able to get some "associaton".

A sister had a demon living in her big toe and farts all the way home from the meeting, oh well, just another faithful servant of Jehovah. Sounds like a pioneer to me, is she?

seat saving: when the doors to the facility are opened each morning, please to not rush to the seating area of your preference as if competing with fellow attenders.
a self-sacrificing spirit that moves us to seek the good of others identifies us as true christians and moves onlookers to praise god.. ................................................................ i personally don't recall them previously making reference to the jw-version of the "running of the bulls" that takes place every morning when the doors open at 8:00 a.m. have seen it myself many times, it's always good for a laugh.
I remember when the Dubs used to hold the District Assembly in the early 70's at a stadium in Jersey City, NJ, for all four days the way we found our seats was to say "I see you're saving these, but when the people come, we will leave" , needless to say the folks for ALL four days never came and we never had to change our seats.
i was in my company vehicle and i spotted some jw's going from door to door.. i circled around the block and pulled over.
when they passed, i rolled down the .
window and asked the pleasant looking middle aged couple as they passed, if they were jehovah's .
Basically, as you and I know, they expressed their shock and anger over the events you shared but then said Jehovah's spirit will prevail and you will see the "correct light" as opposed to those who gave you the bullshit advice.

My uber Dub mom would always mentions how "the worldly religions" baptize their kids as infants and how silly that is, but can a 9, 10, or 11 year old sign a contract or lease or support themselves, Dubs are no different than the "wicked worldly folks" just too damn blind to see it, or, they just make believe they don't see it.
i want to ask wt for my donations back.
i live in canada and i have income tax receipts from them so i can prove how much i gave them.... anybody ever tried something like that or heard about somebody doing it?
what approach should i take?.
Hey Ecan6 you're a positive thinker, HOWEVER, all that positivity will get you nowhere with all ALL RELIGIONS. You donated on a VOLUNTARY basis, case closed.
To put it in a case closed analogy, you give the bum on the street a some money because he says he's hungry, he takes your money and goes to the liquore store, you volunteered your money, it's not mandatory that you give to beggars, and he gained your money under false pretenses, like all religions do.
the guy i know was saying this the other day.. "it's been suggested this may be the last one", or words to that effect.. where & by whom?.
is this doing the rounds?.
Ya gotta love the way the Dubs will agree with you about the scripture that says "no man knows the day or hour", yet, they've been crying wolf every day they've been in business, and they are a business, real estate and publishing.
" he said, "my name is bela paskin.
as they got off of the train, marcel went over to a phone and called the number on the dog-eared piece of paper.
marcel asked if he was speaking to maria paskin and she said that he was.
I'll totally believe this story over those phony stories in the Daily Text and those presentations at the Assemblies.
hello again, for those who don't know me i'm a 15 year old boy.
and recently my mom is displaying symptoms of demensia, she left the stove on today and she yells at us for watching commercials on t.v that are "demonic" because today there was a commercial on television for the new 300 movie and she started yelling at my sister to turn it off, and then i was listening to coldplay as a playlist while doing my school work and she started yelling at me to turn the demonic music off.
she says "demonic" this "demonic" that.
I don't agree with you calling your mom an MFer, but, yeah, I totally agree that moms are batshit crazy, and not just JW moms, JW moms are 10 times worse, my mom would say turn off that musc because of that "worldly beat", unless it's a slow song what song, what song doesn't have a beat? Yup, just loved being raised as a JW . . . . . NOT !!!
