I am fairly positive it is her, and was done as a favor to Benson. I remember when this circulated around 98 or 99(?). I believe it was being circulated on CD for awhile.

Memorial Dates 2008 and 2009

this year, the crapmorial will be after sundown on march 22, a saturday (easter is march 23).

there will, in fact, be a drive to hound people into attending.

and i found from the december 2007 kingdumb misery that the 2009 crapmorial is april 9, a thursday night.. not that i recommend attending either one of those wastefests.

Ah yes the Memorial. The last one I went to I walked there. Obviously in a suite and tie at 6:30 at night there was no other place I could have been going. Did anyone with in the mile of the K.H. ask me if I needed a ride? Nope. I walked in and sat down with out a bible or song book. About half way through a sister taps me on the shoulder and hands me a bible. The hoopla ends and I leave. No one dares offer me a ride back either. Another long walk back home (actual not long just going for dramatic). Not going ever again I don't think. One question that I always had though was if only the anointed can partake, how can someone non anointed be over the service? It seems to make no sense. No sense at all.

Was there any benefit to being an Israelite?

by jwfacts in

during the time of the israelites, non-israelites with no connection to the nation could have a relationship with jehovah; for example, job.. there also appears no lasting benefit to being an israelite, as all people will receive a resurrection.. the watchtower uses the israelites as evidence that jehovah needs an earthly organization.

however, the only real purpose of the israelite nation that i can see was it led to christ.

is the nation of isreal really an indication jehovah requires an earthly organization?.

As I have brought up to almost every JW I know, "you want to accept the good side of Israel but disregard what Jehovah did to Israel when they were bad". They only want to see one side of the coin, even JW's don't have an answer for that.

When one JW runs over another!

by Gill in

the story was kept hushed up, much as in any 'abuse' case that goes on in the wt world but, jws don't like anything to make the wt society look bad.. one jw woman out on 'the misery', reversed into and dragged down the street another jw woman who then broke both arms, ribs, pelvis etc.

infact, she is lucky to still be alive.

this horror was not announced at any kh in the country and kept quiet.

Also are you claiming she ran over this women on purpose or on accident? IF it was on accident who cares? Crap like that happens. Just watch almost any viral video on Youtube. Someone is fooling around accidentally hurts their friend. I don't think a JW should be judged on a comical accident.

Any proof of this? Something in a local paper, on the internet? Something?

Yea there were plenty of herbal people in my hall too. I must say in my hall it was frowned upon for the opposite of sex to work together no matter how old. Or a male and female anyways, they didn't care to much about old female/young male.

The only really crazy person I encountered was this large black women who should have been institutionalized, I have told this story before on here but she basically got up during the middle of a talk and accused the speaker of being Satan. She invoked Jehovah's name a few times then made a b-line for the stage. My Dad and a couple of Elder had to escort her back but she was a big women. She almost barreled through the first couple of elders. The look on the speakers face was priceless!!

It was based more on personal choice. Most of my friends weren't that theocratic though.

Gotta love the live solo version of "Dance Dance Dance". Just awesome. I've always loved Harvest Moon.
