  Remember Going Out In Field Service Before Thursday and Friday's Heat-Stroke Convention at Dodger Stadium?

  i don't think the kids will remember going out in field service at your convention's city location helping the fiends do their territory.

  on top of the horrendous heat-stroke sitting at dodger stadium we had to preach earlier in the week!

  i heard some elderly witnesses speaking about "those were the good old days they thought" the grand old time they had while visiting the city of los angeles!

  Well, here on the east coast, I remember the assembly in the summer of either 67-68. It was held at the stadium where the Washington DC Senators used to play. The assembly was for four days and bathroom facilities in the men and women's rooms weren't working. I'm sure now of days no matter what the event that would not be permitted to happen anymore, but the assembly went on as usual. They weren't locked, but they were all filled to the brims with Lord knows want so you did have the option to overflow them at your expense.

  And of course the sickening banter that Sunday after it was all over was, . . .well you can imagine. How Jah's happy people can still assemble without the use of a toilet !!

  Slow motion pioneers

  by 1Averagejoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  observing our local unemployed pioneers and how long they take to get to their first or next call, usually taking the longest route to get to one they know won't be there anyway.

  along the way it's gossipy this and that.

  pioneers?

  Since most of you that have responded here used to pioneer, can you please tell me what scripture says that you need to send in your time to Bethel every month for every hour you were out service? I have asked those I see doing street work about this but just get the roundabout answer or some scripture far away from the subject. My usual question to them is where did the apostles send in their time since there was no Bethel and/or Brooklyn back in those days.

  Could this happen to you?

  by adjusted knowledge in

  there was a jw who was a born in and faded about 10 years ago near a congregation i attended.

  he never married or had children and was in his late 30's.

  his parents shun him for the most part but then he had a major stroke.

  Well, your question could this happen to you? Of course, I'm sure out of all the folks that woke up this morning, some of them find themselves in some kind of medical emergency, regardless of what religion their family adheres to.

  What percentage of the population are gay?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the long debate on the question of gay marriage, there have been many competing answers to the question of, "how many people are gay?".

  a very anti-gay christian minister in sydney, the reverend fred nile, (who is also a member of the state parliament) claims that the percentage is as low as 1%.. some university (u.of new south wales) research in sydney has suggested 5%, but the authors of the study cautioned that there was a problem in the fact that an unknown number of respondents would likely not admit to being gay.. there are other problems in asking the question.

  for example, what does being gay mean?

  Ran into some JW's.......but this time I did the teaching ;) x

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i went out today with my broken leg and got accosted by an old lady, with some magazines.. it was my first ever encounter with a jw in ten years, and i had said 'i know you are jw's, i'm not interested thank you.

  " twice.....then she started talking about my broken leg and how wonderful we are made and how amazing the healing process is.... and that's when it all started...."i used to be a bethelite pioneer, now i'm an atheist doctor...".

  she was with me a good 30 mins, her elder husband left very annoyed but she stayed, and she was dying to hear everything i spurted out, despite aggressively defending every point, from military engines to paedophilia.

  Umbertoecho - That tells you something right there if you mention one of their publications and you're told it's no longer relevant. I would've said to that elder, "the Bible hasn't changed, right", to which he would've obviously agreed, then I would've said so how does a publication from the religion that claims to be the only true religion on earth become no longer relevant? There's no way you would've gotten a straight answer to that.

  Matter of fact, I'm going to use that the next time I feel like messing with those folks with the carts in he subway station.

  "Deep Down , He Knows That It is The Truth"

  by BluesBrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this phrase i heard again at the weekend when a diehard dub was discussing his non believing, but much loved son.

  "it is just that..... [insert any excuse here].

  it is something that they all say about us, yet nothing could be further from the truth.

  My mother used to say that to me ALL the time, yeah, that's the way to get someone to come back, aggravate and irritate them to death.

  OK, after reading all the new posts I still want to know, although not a smoker, but are all your posts from the stuff you get with a medical card or on the street?
