  Sarah Huckabee Sanders, new member of the Governing Body

  by ShirleyW in

  2. friends

  the woman has been deflecting the orange one's lies for quite sometime now as we all know, but after hearing her doing the same about the staff member who dissed mccain, i say she's an excellent candidate for the governing body, "nothing ever happened, we didn't say that, yes the number of 144,000 is growing every year and we accept that".

  i mean, why look elsewhere, she would fit in perfectly.. btw, that's also what i say with all the drumpf supporters that show up at his rallies he holds whenever his sensitive, deflated ego needs a boost.

  they cheer and rave just like the blind followers do at the circuit assemblies, they would make excellent jws, they have no problem buying into bullshit without putting any thought into anything that's being said..

  G'morning MIss Tara/Sylvie! Long time no see ! Don't be a stranger too long a time again

  and Gio - thx for answering Jehalapeno's comment, since it appears to him that Drumpf was actually born with orange skin.

  Nope, not incoherent, just thought you were siding with the folks who gave my original post a minus 6 and Fulano's a plus 7 (which of course are the same folks)

  I just "assumed" you were on their side, now do you understand why I said what I did?

  Hey Morpheus - what's you point, ALL presidents have an Inauguration Day and people gather.

  I guess you're saying at least Drumpf doesn't have as many people chanting his name as Obama did on his Day, post a pic of that and notice the huge difference of the crowd

  Do Witnesses Experience Racial Discrimination To Your Knowledge?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  my experience in the kingdom hall was that racial discrimination and profiling was not typically practiced....that i know of.

  i was in a diverse city with every type of skin color and nationality imaginable.. i’m wondering if the witnesses have changed due to the current affairs exposed by the media everyday.

  are there discrimination issues in jw land??

  Hey Min - you are an old timer on this board, so I'm sure you know which topics have the longest running thread, going for 20 plus pages, the ones about race, and the majority here are folks who once were a part of the Borg where, as you say, "discrimination and profiling was not typically practiced", so either some folks were able to hide their racist views, while some were not.

  Things you didn't expect to like...

  by sparrowdown in

  2. friends

  stuff you never expected you would do or enjoy doing as a non-witness.... researching - always thought i hated study and reading turns out it was just wt literature i hated studying and reading.

  having political opinions and just having opinons and beliefs that are not set in stone and that i am free to assess, review and adjust as i become more aware of imformation .

  droping the f-bomb every now and again to make a point feels surprisingly good but that may just be post-religious rebellion that wears off... eventually.

  I remember at 14 in high school (yes, I was already in high school at 14)

  What's so unusual about being in HS at 14, that's the age I started HS also and graduated at 17, is that not the norm anymore (reason being for me by birthday is at the end of the year in December)

  My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

  when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

  then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

  Anyone remember when the pink first came out? At your KH did they have special mtgs on Saturday night to practice the new songs? I remember my KH did that, not a formal mtg, just the songs, no talks are anything.

  Also at our KH for a while, along with our piano player when the pink songbook came out, we also had a sister playing the violin, then another sister joined in who could play the flute and a brother joined with his bass guitar. I don't think that little jazz combo lasted longer than a year. Was just a kid then, but now I'm probably sure that a Circuit Servant put an end to that.

  Summer Angel - Quite a few were blatant hymn rip offs

  As far as the pink songbook and the green songbook before the pink one, that's not much of a secret. That's why,for the old timers here who remember #1 from the green songbook "Hail Him" they kind of let that one go, I remember when we sang that one back in the 60's, that one was almost like a Baptist Church hymn that had folks running up and down the aisles speaking in tongues, it got you going.

  As far as the other songs, "from house to house, from door to door" I remember the melody and those words, I remember #19,the Hawaiian song. Take Sides with Jehovah seemed to be a popular one. Keep your eyes on the prize. Since I was a born in and a child when these songs were sung of course I remember the melodies and a few of the words.
