Your most hated Kingdom Songs ever...

by B_Deserter in

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?.

i forgot the song, it's hard to explain, but, it's the one where it goes from sounding very apocalyptical, to like some lame ballerina song.

John Doe did you mean the "Dark days are here, man lives in fear, something something something, something something something..." Heehe, god that song was rubbish. As were the ones that were written in a key that no one could sing and everyone just mumbled.

We had a CO who used to make us sing all those call and reply songs in two parts

MEN - What will you bring, Jehovahs kingdom

Women - triumph of truth and righteousness

Together - Praise teh universal sovereign for his love and something

I know I've gotten all the words wrong, but I'm trying to block that crap out.

You can be Disfellowshiped for being too FAT!!!!!

by Witness 007 in

watch 74 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah god...is food a big thing in his life?

if in the presents of others, does he selfishly ignore thier needs and take far more then his share?

is he grossly overweight but shows no restraint at all as to food, habitually gorging himself?

We had a hugely obese sister in the Cong. who kept falling over.

Witness007 that made me laugh my HUGE ass off. How funny is that? I would love to see the elders try to disfellowship a fatty.

After book study my mum would always provide cakes, biscuits and sweets (which really pissed me off as no one else used to bring anything to share) anyway there were 2 brothers who were so f'ing greedy used to try hiding the shit so no one else could have any. They used to make me feel ill watching them, like starved animals. Needless to say they are both MS's neither were over weight though so I guess their gluttony went unnoticed.

Nosy questions for the Americans

following on from the thread the other week with questions for the brits, i thought i'd ask a few i'd like to know about you, just call me a nosey bag!.

1. as you don't have nhs, what happens if a sick child was in a medical emergency, is there a charity that covers them or will treatment sometimes get withheld if there is no insurance?.

2. what accent does nicholas cage have?

iveseenthelight

There are a number of Federal and State programs for children. As has been stated even if you have NO insurance at all every hospital emergency room in the country by law must treat you even if you can not pay.

I remeber being in NY, my step brotehr got turned away from a medical centre as he had a type of medical insurance that the centre did not accept. He was only 5 and it was in the early hours of the morning. What was that all about?

i can tell you what post-traumatic stress disorder is.

it is the intense feelings of anguish you experience after a terrible experience.

say having your entire life stolen from you.

iveseenthelight

So what? teh society are a bunch of psychologists now are they? Dealing with peoples mental health? Haven't they f*cked around with people enough. they need to stay away from subjects they obviously know nothing about...

I might have to steal a copy from my mum this evening. If I do I'll try scanning it. Then burn it or use it to wipe my bum.

The meeting tonight was UNBEARABLE

by Orgull in

i had my tms tonight.

for those who don't know me, i no longer believe, but have only just begun my slow fade.. the meeting was unbearable.

first there was the brother who happily pointed out that i'd missed two meetings recently and that he was keeping track.

Do you know that being on the TMS is optional? You don't have to give the talk. I just found out the TMS was optional about 2 years ago

Shopaholic - I Knew they were optional, but the stupid TMS bro kept giving me them and saying "I know you don't want to but just do this last one" and I always would. I used to prepare talks for my mates as well, pure BS!

Keep fading dude...let us know how you go.
