I've heard that prayer thing before sex, a brother gave a talk and included the wedding night, he said that perhaps you should offer a prayer since this will be your first time . . . . oh brother. .

JWs and their views on Sex
by campaign of hate inin the past i have read on this forum that the wt have a say in the "bedroom" of couples.
i thought that was a bit overkill at first, but recently i have come to conclusion that this is true.. the control administered by the wt cooperation on ones sex life is not on only intrusive, its damaging.
they control every aspect of ones thought and action, thus leading most down a path that said corporation wants them to tread.. this path is to get married young, and then eternal loyalty the the organisation.. so how can an organisation force you to get married young?.

Welfare and Witnesses
by adjusted knowledge ini'm ignorant to the social welfare programs outside the us, but listening to others i have to assume in europe it is more generous.
i've not had deep personal conversation with active witnesses for nearly 20 years.
last year i made contact with a family and some elders came to my house.

Surprisingly we had a sister in our Cong that was told by the elders that if she was collecting welfare they didn't let her pioneer, because that means she could work. I'm , but I'msure that was a rare approach by the elders.
A friend of my mothers that used to attend our Cong but moved to Virginia was on disability, but when she visited my mother she said she was a pioneer. So I reported her to the VA Disability Dept. for fraudulently collecting from them, they did check out her case and found out she wasn't collecting anymore at the time that I reported, that was just my part in "keeping the organization clean" !!

"but it sounds like his mom died and his dad must've remarried immediately"
Yup, you can tell the dad's definitely a faithful servant of Jah just from that one statement alone.

Steve2 - Interesting that you say in New Zealand you heard Glen Campbell hated the JWs. Here in the US I've heard that his parents (and I think a few of his siblings) started studying, don't know if any got baptized, but heard that he was favorable to the JWs. See what a few miles between the Dubs does to a rumor? -

by pixel into all congregationsre: orchestral accompaniment for singing at congregation meetings.
dear brothers:.
many will find that the newly composed orchestral recordings are more inspiring andconducive to our worship than is piano music alone.

Back in the late 60's - early 70's, for about a few years in addition to the piano, we had a brother play the bass guitar and a sister played the violin.

'Anointeds' Do you know any and if so what are they like ?
by Introvert 2 inwould like to hear about any experiences anyone has had with the so called ' anointed ' .

In all four pages here most of the posts are saying that the "chosen ones" belong in a rubber room and/or jail cell.
Interesting how they still believe that the anointed receive a sign from almighty Jah, kinda sounds like the women that have killed their own children, but say the God spoke to them and told them to do that

I was just about to cut off my mother if every time we're in the same room and she'd try to think up something that would get a conversation started about why I should "come back"., which always ended up in an argument. She got sick and was in a nursing home before I could do that, but the way I feel about how she lied to me has not changed one bit.
I always wondered what she would say now if I could get hold of one of those mediums like Theresa Caputo, I wonder if she's offering an apology now saying I tried to steer you the wrong way.

Just think of how much literature he's gonna put down on that timesheet and feel so proud of himself.
I think his employer should be made aware of what he's doing.

Joan attended beauty school and was a certified nurse’s assistant at the Manor Nursing Home. She was a member of the Cowlitz Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Joan was a Girl Scout leader and the craft consultant for the Northwest Washington region. She loved her cats and being around people.
When I was growing up in the 60's and 70's Girl Scouts wasn't permitted. So when did this new light happen, or is it just a regional new light, since in certain parts of the country Dubs are doing things that another part of the country can't.

Witnesses Preach to Dog
by snugglebunny in"in el salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovahs witnesses nearby.
the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.
the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

Well, I must say it's a bit more dramatic than the urban legend story when I was growing up in da troof about the two visible angels at the side of this sister who knocked on a door where an Avon lady was assaulted earlier.
