  Specific banned shows, songs, etc...?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know the society tells people not to listen to rock n roll cause its from teh satan, not to watch r rated movies because they're "worldly", etc.

  but i was wondering if folks had any specific instances where one song, one show, one movie, or whatever was singled out as being particularly 'evil', and banned on an individual basis?

  i was never a jw, but was in the worldwide church of god...the two are rather similar, i've seen many (and made quite a few myself) comparisons on the board; and i can remember as a child that every once in a while certain things would get brought up as being more evil and worldly than others.. examples of specific bans:.

  A question for all Whisky drinkers.

  hello chumz on the board.

  nothing really to do with jwism but who prefers the american 'bourbon' type such as 'wild turkey', 'jim beam' etc or who prefers a fine single malt scotch such as 'glenfiddich' or 'glenmorangie'?

  i am not trying to stir up nationalism with this question but am just genuinely curious.. lfcv.

  i love this quote and often find myself using it on the kids and my dog.

  it is from cats and dogs and james earl jones doing the voice over.

  "not for you young puppy, for you the war is over".

  Why do the local congregations always pay for the D.O. and C.O. visits?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every time a circuit and district overseer visited our congregation,the elders always wanted a show of hands from the congregation to see if we would pay for their car expenses and travel.sometimes the congregation would pay for airline tickets.it was always approved.. do you know if the idea came from the local congregations to pay?

  did the wts send out letters to each congregation to see if they would pay?

  we know that the wts always get what they want.. it's amazing how we paid $250-$400 for each overseer visit and the wts paid nothing..

  the Daily-Dedicate-a-Song-to-a-Special-Someone Thread

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  rather than hijack another thread and inspired by fullofdoubtnow and dedpoets music for the wedding thread i thought i would start a little "dedications" thread - this isn't the sort of dedication symbolised by dunking though!.

  (i expect to see ggbg and ofg here forthwith for some romantic dedications).. i'd like to dedicate the following to someone special - "bodies - by drowning pool" .

  they probably wont see this, but the thought that counts!.

  Help! they're giving me a talk #4 entittled:" IDENTIFYING APOSTATES"

  by dark angle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is quite awkward for me to give!

  our elder gave me that assignment last week and should be delivered next week on the theocratic ministry school.

  considering i have very unconventional views for the wts about blood, evolution, bible, and the gb, delivering this talk seemd quite maladroit.

  Bethel Romeos - throwing your daughters at them

  by Uzzah in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it was raised in a comment quoted in the national post article today:.

  on speaking engagements at kingdom halls throughout the country, fathers would sometimes even offer up their daughters in marriage to him because of the prestige of his position, he said.. have any of the gals here experienced this?

  did your parents 'parade you' around visiting bethelites or try to set you up with them?
