Hey Shelby, are the projects just called that in NYC? That's why I didn't say that just in case some would wonder what I meant

Linden Houses in Brooklyn is not an affluent neighborhood at all, trust me.

Coffee Black you just beat me to it, I just saw the JW Google Alert about that. Wish I still knew someone who lived in the Linden Houses where he lived but they moved out more than 20 years ago, wonder what led our "devout Brother" to take his own life, perhaps he went to the elders saying things weren't going right or something, looking for some guidance and all they can offer is "go out in service more". Needless to say I don't know the details but it just burns me that the ones you're supposed to turn to for guidance just get to weeks worth of training to give people spiritual guidance, surprising how they've been getting away with that for all these years.

Thought for sure the rest of your post was going to be of a sexual nature . . . .

The KINGDOM HALL topic.
by nicolaou ini'm an atheist but i've recently been curious enough to sit quietly on the hard wooden pews of a local and very simple english village church - it was sweet, humble and surprisingly calming.. now, how exactly is this monstrosity supposed to motivate anyone?!.
what does it tell us about the mentality of the religions leaders?
does this look like a place of worship?

One of the main reasons I enjoy watching Rick Steves travel shows is that he always includes a visit to a historic cathedral in whatever city he's in. The beauty and detail is so interesting and overwhelming.
Makes me think back to the days of attending the KH, nothing but a building shaped like a box with foldup chairs.

Telephone Hookup if You Can't be Physically Present at the KH
by Band on the Run ini keep coming upon references dealing with a phone hookup if you must miss a kh meeting.
in my day, if you missed, you missed and celebrated the fact.
what is the procedure for the hookup?

One sunday when it was her paragraph they switched so they could hear her and she was sleeping and snoring....
I have to say, when I read other so called funny things that hapened in the Hall the majority of them really don't make me laugh, but this one I'm dying laughing at !!

She's a sick lady and I hope she gets help before she breeds more future cult members.
The religion they belong to is quite cult like, I watched their show and their religion forbids dancing and couples have their first kiss at their wedding. I don't think the Dubs forbid dancing and we all know those young Dub couples have done a few things before he wedding ceremony.
