Went to a non-Witness memorial service
by CaptainSchmideo inthis was a service at a southern baptist church for the father of a teacher at my son's school.
we had developed a friendship with her over the past few years, and i had met her father, knew about his terminal illness, and i wanted to pay my respects.. i have to tell you, it was a better show than the average jw "ceremony".first, lots of personal tributes about the man they were memorializing.
uplifting stories, funny stories, serious stories, describing a real life individual that many in that room knew and were going to dearly miss.. lots of singing!

How would YOU like to die - At home with your family, or in Hospital with Strangers
by fulltimestudent ina big decision no one wants to make, but would you have a preference?.
and, i guess it may depend on what kind of relationship you have with your family.. .

"it was a show on HCPOA"
Well, I guess I'm in the minority here of not knowing what that stands for.
But if I were to guess, does the POA stand for Power of Attorney?
If not, hey, I have it a shot, right?

Odrade that's funny, everything is capped except "i' which should be !
I remember my mother saying she was going to get a computer a few years before she passed,which she never did. I don't know if they were using them for Dub stuff back then but I know someone in the Cong put that idea in her head, she never would've thougt of buying one unless they told her something she could do or look up on the computer. I told her don't ask me to show you how to use it, it would be like teaching Edith Bunker.

I tripped into a JW literature cart
by diana netherton ini wasn't looking where i put my feet, and i almost took the cart out!
anyway, i stopped and chatted with the people for a bit.
three women and a man -- an elder and his wife.

Diana - When you mentioned that you wished they had the carts when you were a kid, I'm sure their brains went ding, ding, ding, didn't they ask you if you're still a witness, and if not why don't you attend the meetings now?

Sis Hortensia - Did you at least get to offer your presentation to someone today, did you leave some magazines with someone?
You know Sister, we are a busy people, there are plenty of opportunities to bring interest to others about Jah and his Mighty Spirit, and you can count the time too!!

Amen to that! There are so many typos on this board as well as others, but when has it become acceptable to spell definitely with an a?
Also the word baptize is usually spelled here "babtize" and the word masturbation is usually spelled here "masterbation".
My favorite one from this board is that someone kept spelling the word daughter as dawter.

Ever notice how JW's can attend a talk or Convention and remember nothing?
by Wasanelder Once inhow many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!
yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?
and conventions weren't far off either.

Reminds me of what happened a while back when I was growing up in the COng. A friends dad always used to ask them on the ride home what the talk was about. On this Sunday the CO gave the talk and he used the line "bet you can't eat just one" from the Lays Potato Chip commercial, which used to get lots of airtime in the late 60's, when her dad got to her little brother, he said he remembered what the talk was about - potato chips.
Some of the adults there that Sunday probably didn't remember too much more than that line themselves.

Bill Cosby - too much smoke for no fire?
by Simon init seems like the list of people who are accusing him of rape and sexual assault is growing every day.
i'm skeptical of single accusations but the number of people and the similar stories seem overwhelming now.. it's not a conviction but to the court of public opinion ... guilty?.

Family Gathering ( or the day also known as Thanksgiving)
by Theredeemer inevery year on a certain thursday in november my family and close witness friends would get together, eat menudo ( hispanic stew) and other foods, watch football and then get dressed to go to the meeting.. sister so and so would bring her famous pie, bro and sister so and so would bring their gross punch and bro and sis so and so would bring mexican sweet bread.
sometimes we would go to "worldy" aunt's and pick up plates of turkey and fixins.. this was every year on a certain date, on a certain thursday in november.. this continued until my mom got alzheimers.
by that time i was married and had my own house.

My father was an unbelieving mate when I was growing up and the wives of such were told to fix the holiday meal for their husbands, so I never missed out on the holiday meals, if it wasn't at my house we always went to my godbrothers house ( godbrothers before my mother got baptized)
