JW Children in Meetings

by blue_summmer20 in

hi my first post.. for the people that grew up in the religon, do you have any memory of being spanked for not sitting still in the meeting?

i see kids acting like kids but the parents take them out and spank them for something like not sitting still.

some of my worst memories are my father taking me out for a beating with a belt or his hand.

I remember a family in our Hall used to make their two preschool kids sit at home for an hour straight to practice for the meetings , sad but I'm sure they're not the only ones to do that.

Nothing More To Say

i really have nothing much more to say, except to say thank you to all the people who have contributed to me in my threads and all the people whom i battled over the years.

the battles have been most entertaining and enlightening.

i've learned a great deal from them, and i've laughed a great deal from the idiotic attempts of fools to make a coherent argument (think "dubs").. it's been a roller-coaster ride for me over a decade and it has consumed a huge amount of my time.

I've noticed and I'm sure you have too, that those that take the time to say they're going to quit posting here always come back!

But those that don't inform the others and fade away, there's always someone that will post the question "Where's _____ ??

Alright singers here's a question for you

by WillowTrees in

for whatever reason, my voice will not sound 'crisp' ...'clear' ...it sounds very weird.. and i've been singing for like 13 years.

(without training)...so i spent a lot of time 'letting the air out slowly like a straw' breathing exercises...and i can scream across to japan and be heard.

(those are those tiny singing words you hear in the middle of the night in the distant) ...but for some reason, whenever i hear a new band or song or artist, i can automatically tell they have that 'crisp' sound in their voice... it's very clear and crisp.

my voice will NOT sound 'crisp' ...'clear' ...it sounds VERY weird

so in other words, you sound like all the other singers out their today on the Top Ten Lists ?

Phone witnessing??

by OneDayillBeFree in

its just praised religous telemarketing!.

ive been doing it this whole morning and the only thing i've done to make it go quicker was to memorize a disconnected number.. its been working extremely well.... but did any of you that ever did it feel strange like you were selling something?!

like you were in a call center?.

ShirleyW

My friends pioneer sister in law had a hook-up that's totally familiar with robocalls, don't know if she had to individually dial each number but it was a pre-recorded message that just filled in everyone's name to give that "personal feel" !

Wonder how much time she put down every week for that ? ! ?

if you have been in bethel, please let us know, so rick fearon can contact you via pm to see if johnny the bethelite is for real or not.

rick, prove it to us that he is not a fraud, otherwise we will make a petition to simon to end your johnny the bethelite charade for good.

we are tired of it.

ShirleyW

Well said Red 21.

What I found kinda strange is a few weeks ago when Johnny reappeared on the call, was that one of the folks who called in and appeared to be on Johnny's side, I won't mention who, but, I spoke to this certain person about a year ago and this person told me that Johnny was in jail, where this person got the info from I don't know but, this person even said to me that if Rick knew of this, so, regarding all the things we've heard about Johnny, I take it with a grain of salt as well.
