  Wait a minute, if he "accidentally" looked at porn that means he saw it for just two or three seconds, like when you accidentally open a restroom door and somebody is already on the toilet in there.

  If his parents and praying were needed to help him get over it, my common sense tells me it was not accidental

  "yeah dad, I keep accidentally pulling up this man on man website every night for the last couple of months and now I need Jehovah's help to stop" . . . give me a break, that means dad was looking too.

  and I grew up in NYC, so if they made the announcement in NY and the assassination happened in LA, I guess they read that letter at all the congregations across the country.

  Funny thing is, I was around nine or ten years old at the time, I remember telling my dad who wasn't baptized as of yet " Daddy, guess what? SIrhan Sirhan was a Jehovah's Witness !"

  Terry - I remember after the meeting a while after the RFK assassination, during the closing comments they mentioned if anyone knew that Sirhan Sirhan was a JW to contact Bethel, or however it was worded, but I definitely remember them making that announcement.

  I think just about everyone can name a few brothers and sisters in their Congregation that folks used to whisper about for appearing to be gay. I can remember quite a few from just my one Cong and I've mentioned several times before here that I use the name ShirleyW to show the hypocrisy about how da troof handles that, The name I use and her "partner" started attending my KH when I was around 9 or 10, I'm now pushing 60 and they're still faithful servants of Jah.

  Way after I stopped attending, but in mother's Cong they had a RuPaul lookalike studying and attending the meetings

  I don't know how long the person who was studying explained to him that he had to make up his mind if he was a girl or a boy. But I don't think he even lasted a year.

  We had an elder that was in the Cong that know matter what the subject of his talk he would always find a way to bring up something sexual, this went on for DECADES, they finally put him on reproof in the 90's because he said something to a sister and she reported him to the other elders. He was in the Cong ever since I was a kid in the 60's and it took them thirty years to finally do something.

  Will Bro. Rogers be DF'd posthumously for drug addiction?

  some have been df'd for suspicion of smoking cigarettes, yet bro.

  rogers death is because of an addiction, fentanyl is what they are saying is the drug that did him in which was reported on the news as being more potent than heroine.

  why is it that some nosy sister can report you because someone who looked like you was in the parking lot the same time as she was, yet bro.

Oh, that's right, Bro. Rogers employment made it easy for him to write a larger check than those caught in a parking lot enjoying a cig.

  Just my exjw rant of the day.

  i had a random thought this morning about clapping.

  growing up in the wt culture i learned the proper protocol for clapping.

  before the assembly speaker gave his talk, but not after.

  Yeah, like the people that sit in front of the MTV Awards or the other music shows and they're clapping their hands above their heads, like it just happened to be that all the people that want to do clap their hands over their heads just happen to be sitting in the first ten rows when a music group starts playing.

  But the Dubs spread out the clappers all through the Stadiums

  BTW I see I have an ongoing argument on this thread with a former most severe mental patient that used to post here.

  Attendances & Baptisms at Summer Conventions

  by steve2 in

  2. beliefs

  there have been very informative threads on presentations and audience reactions ("thrilled", "emotional") at this summer's regional conventions (formerly district conventions) but little on actual attendance numbers and numbers baptized.

  .

  or could i be directed to current threads discussing these aspects - i searched but found nothing.

  Well, as far as the baptisms go, if another crazy person jumps into the pool this year, I hope someone will post it.
