  we all know that skilled songwriters the brothers are not, so what are your most hated kingdom songs?

  the ones that made you cringe when you saw them listed on the km or watchtower?

  mine?.

  The only thing worse than the songs themselves is having to sing them without accompanying music during blackouts...especially if they were one of those obscure ones that you sing once a year and no one knows the tune to them...scratching nails on a blackboard sounded better..what a nightmare!!!!

  The songs with the parts in parentheses that not everyone is supposed to sing but they never specify who's supposed to...
  
  
  Those were the worst..only a few sang them in the first verse...and of course they sounded like a bunch of fools...It was comic relief for me..I would just laugh...
  
  Does anyone remember one that sounded like a song from the nutcracker??? It kind of sounded like a christmas tune in the beginning???

  As far as I can remember in all the congregations there has always been more women than men...since women aren't encouraged to do anything else other than become pioneers or get married some start getting kind of desperate when they begin to get older...it seems the average age for marriage among JW's in the States in 21? 22? if you've reached 25 and still single it's like you're over the hill....basically the only requirement they are looking for is that he be a witness...age, intelligence, common interests, maturity take a back burner to that. It's no wonder you see so many unhappy marriages...

  What is Your Scariest Experience in Life?

  i'd have to say mine was when i was at the wee age of 8.. my siblings and i were out swimming with some friends and their parents.

  what i remember mostly was that i got seperated very quickly from the rest of the group and drifted into the deeper end.

  i found it getting more and more difficult to swim with each passing second.

  The other day I was looking in the internet and I found this site that get ex JW's together. They plan activities in your area. There's a whole bunch of people registered. I'll try to find the web page and post it. But you really should check it out. And they have things in all cities and areas in the US...

  wow so saturday while working on a hangover (fun friday night).

  my ex girlfriend calls me up at about ten in the morning explaining that she wants to have a pool party at her place.

  she wants me to go with her to buy food, alcohol, pool floats, and all that good kind of stuff.

  I used to attend a spanish hall when we were in the states and the spanish brothers only speak to people who look like they are hispanic...It's a way to broaden their territory...If they would have been English, I would be sending a different message, but having been in that congregation I wanted to let you in on the protocol. Half the witnesses in the spanish probably have very limited English as well...And probably zero literature in English...The spanish witnesses are very zealous, but like I say, I'm sure they didn't consider you part of their territory....God may still love you despite....

  At the hall last night

  i went to the hall last night to get an insight book and a concordance.

  i had set it up with an elder ahead of time to get them.

  i arrived after the meeting had ended, walked up to the counter anxious to leave as quickly as i came when a big brother came up to me, planted his body in between me and the literature servant and started giving me the third degree about who i am, what is my standing in the congregation, and what did i want the books for.

  every monday night starting 10pm, msnbc along with authorities trap pedophiles who have made internet arrangements to have sex with under-age children are filmed and exposed to the public.

  this passed monday night, they arrested 21 pedophiles making such arrangements.

  the one that caught my interest was the pedophile having to travel 350 miles (one way) to have sex with a teenager!

  does anybody see this as really odd??? I mean it's kind of glorifying the whole thing by giving these sick fucks attention...even if it's negative attention...what will american media think of next??? and of course, the consumers eat it all up....
