Venus & Serena

by chrissee in

so are they 'true' dubs or what??

they were just on oprah and i noticed (i think it was venus) she was wearing a dress that was red, white & blue.

it had blue shooting stars and red lines on it.

Ya know Chrissee, I was wondering the same thing. Why aren't they pushing the "Young people ask" book, or something. They definately

are running ahead!!

a phone call is a date.

Mulan,

recently there was a local needs part at the meeting and bro.dub elder did say that a phone call is a date.

There is probably nothing written but verbally this is what is being tossed around.

wanna I just spoke to a sister who went to last night's service meeting. There was a part which said that a phone call is a date. FreeFallin

Jehovah's Witness commercial?

by nicki23 in

this is my first post although i have been reading on this board for over a year now.

i just had to post because i saw the most unbelievable thing the other night - a commercial for jehovah's witnesses.

a couple nights ago i couldn't sleep and i turned on the tv.

Yes, i saw the same commercial the other night and could not believe it. It wasn't too badly done, either. But i think the message they want to send is Internet=Bad Association, stay off of apostate websites. I don't think children's welfare is one of their major concerns.

My sad news

by Fe2O3Girl in

as some of you on the board knew i was expecting a baby, i feel i should let you know that things have not worked out for us.. when i went for the 20 week ultrasound scan last thursday, severe problems were found with our baby's internal development.

only one kidney was detected, and it was very enlarged and polycystic.

there was no long term hope for the baby at all; if it survived to full term it could only live for hours at most.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

englishman had his op today and all is going according to plan.

he's feeling woozy and sore tonight, but hopefully that will pass in a day or so.

chris says he will probably have to stay in for about a week, but no doubt he will be posting if he can get hold of a laptop.

i did what i was asked.

all these weeks, i did all my mother asked when it came to dealing with the matters at hand for her.

i'm nothing, if not loyal.. so over the weekend, when mother called for us to please come and deal with my relatives coming to the house to pick up boxes of my grandmother's belongings.

To any JW's who are lurking here please think about this: Even murderers are allowed to have familial visits in prison. Most murderers are not even put away for life without chance of parole. It would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Very true, and so sad.

Can you believe you followed this stuff and believed it?

by wizedup in

my husband and i amuse each other with recollections of the "spiritual" language, sometimes with tears of laughter.

we sometimes gasp at the thought we took all that stuff so seriously for nearly 40 and 33 years.

every meeting, we had to be there, listening to the demands for obedience, loyalty,and submission.

NOSTALGIA TIME !! Anyone remember the old "t.v. westerns" era?

by hubert in

i was reading the post on "old radio" shows, and it brought to mind the old westerns that flooded the t.v.

stations back in the 50's.. i remember the first day we had a t.v.

installed, my sister and i were outside, and saw the "new" antenna on top of our roof, and ran in to watch the "new" black and white t.v., and enjoyed shows like milton berle, howdy doody, and others my memory forgot.
