I remember Peggy Lee, I remember she even performed in front of the crowds sitting down and hooked up to her oxygen tank. I wonder if her daughter is still alive, I'll look at WIkipedia later and see if they mention her daughter.

The 1975 Generation---are they still around?
by minimus ini was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.
as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.
now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.

I would think so, the teenagers in the congregations back then would be the ones left from that time. I graduated from high school in 1975, so my peers I grew up with who are still in and there are quite a few, are still around from those years, but most of our parents who thought they would be in paradise now have already passed away

We should've already had flying cars, remember The Jetsons? During the World's Fair here in NYC in 1964-1967 where they had a pavillion that looks just like the Jetson House which is still standing by the way on the Fair's grounds, weren't we supposed to be living that way since the early 2000's?
Even Saturday Night Live did a skit in it's first year during the mid-70's called Jeopardy 2000 where everything was "Jetsonesque".

Wait a minute, if he "accidentally" looked at porn that means he saw it for just two or three seconds, like when you accidentally open a restroom door and somebody is already on the toilet in there.
If his parents and praying were needed to help him get over it, my common sense tells me it was not accidental
"yeah dad, I keep accidentally pulling up this man on man website every night for the last couple of months and now I need Jehovah's help to stop" . . . give me a break, that means dad was looking too.

Jehovah's Terrorist?
by TerryWalstrom injehovah’s terrorist?.
(a personal memoir).
john f. kennedy's brother, robert (bobby) was assassinated in 1968 shortly after he won the california democratic presidential primary.

and I grew up in NYC, so if they made the announcement in NY and the assassination happened in LA, I guess they read that letter at all the congregations across the country.
Funny thing is, I was around nine or ten years old at the time, I remember telling my dad who wasn't baptized as of yet " Daddy, guess what? SIrhan Sirhan was a Jehovah's Witness !"

Terry - I remember after the meeting a while after the RFK assassination, during the closing comments they mentioned if anyone knew that Sirhan Sirhan was a JW to contact Bethel, or however it was worded, but I definitely remember them making that announcement.

I think just about everyone can name a few brothers and sisters in their Congregation that folks used to whisper about for appearing to be gay. I can remember quite a few from just my one Cong and I've mentioned several times before here that I use the name ShirleyW to show the hypocrisy about how da troof handles that, The name I use and her "partner" started attending my KH when I was around 9 or 10, I'm now pushing 60 and they're still faithful servants of Jah.

Way after I stopped attending, but in mother's Cong they had a RuPaul lookalike studying and attending the meetings
I don't know how long the person who was studying explained to him that he had to make up his mind if he was a girl or a boy. But I don't think he even lasted a year.
We had an elder that was in the Cong that know matter what the subject of his talk he would always find a way to bring up something sexual, this went on for DECADES, they finally put him on reproof in the 90's because he said something to a sister and she reported him to the other elders. He was in the Cong ever since I was a kid in the 60's and it took them thirty years to finally do something.

Oh, that's right, Bro. Rogers employment made it easy for him to write a larger check than those caught in a parking lot enjoying a cig.
Just my exjw rant of the day.
