  What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's

  this is obviously a question for the older generation.

  i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.

  was the society as strict as it is today?.

  Amen, TD.

  The word religion comes from a root meaning to bind.

  Like in a family, a community.

  Bound in love, not fear.

  I was baptized in 1974, and I remember a loving brotherhood.

  Came the 80's, and all havoc broke loose.

  Oh, but the heart begs to differ.

  Spring 1971 was the happiest I ever remember, and I continue to measure each milestone in my life against that season.

  I used to feel a slight twinge of guilt that even my baptism as a JW didn't measure up to it.

  LOL.

  Love and blessings.

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  Ahhh, CoCo, I feel you.

  His name was Sam.

  I say was because even though he still lives, he's not MY Sam anymore.

  Am I making sense?

  uc berkeley administrators canceled a scheduled speech by right-wing pundit ann coulter, saying they can’t protect participants from rioting if it goes ahead.

  now i am no ann coulter fan (although the sjw police on here will accuse me of being a fan shortly after posting this), but i am a fan of free speech!

  Mercy, Simon!

  I do agree with your assessment of the Democrats' pandering to minorities.

  Even during the height of Jim Crow, we were, for the most part, self-reliant and resourceful.

  Now, we've become fat and lazy and sorry, with the resultant deterioration of our communities.

  What does this say about God?

  That He is exacting and does not exempt anyone, including Himself, from His standards.

  Love.
