i was a regular pioneer for a while during the mid 90s, about a year or two after the knowledge book replaced the live forever book as the primary bible study manual.

around that time the society began to spew a bunch of b.s.

about the end being so near (hadn't heard that one before) and how there were waiting lists for bible studies in many former soviet countries.

I do remember that push!! I had forgotten until now. I think it was to get everyone more actively involved b/c the end was right around the corner. Excited and rejuvinated about the end coming. That is one very looonnnggg corner...

Have any of you heard about "The Cleavage Talk?" C'mon!!

supposedly about the same time as the bethel visitor's dress code brochure, talks were being given in kh concerning women showing cleavage.. i don't know.

i haven't heard any of these talks myself, but my folks tell me they have.

they also told me about the talks given in other congregations (reported to them by their friends).. i guess some cos, pos, etc.

mind my own

I hardly think that a brother would be "stumbled" if he seen a sisters cleavage! Snort.

Wife Angry! Witnesses only call around to "count time" never casual calls??

by Witness 007 in

on the weekend 2 sets of witnesses called on us during witnessing {we are both in-active now}....what's going on i thought!!

......c.o visit with a theme of "encouraging those weak in the faith.

" so, witnesses start calling after a year and a half, but only offical like during witnessing time....mistake number two, they "placed" 17 watchtowers with my wife.....mistake three, a sister said she was "concerned" about my wife like she was mental or something!

mind my own

I know my mom and brother used to count time when they gave me a book or mags...gag. Also, if they brought me (when I was considered inactive) or a bible study to the meetings, they counted their time.

i was out in service during a week day with a car group of sister pioneers...very few brothers went out in the week...we had 6 people and i was the only male...we arrived at our street and the head sister pioneer turned to everyone and said, "ok you 2 start at this end, you 2 start on the other side and work this way and me and bro (myself) will start here...she then got a horrified look on her face and turned to me and said, "if that's ok with you"...i just said, "sounds good to me"...at that moment i thought how sad she had to defer to my so called headship...

last week when i was tipsy i ordered a copy of sing praises to jehovah, and it came in the mail today.

i hadn't heard some of the songs since i was a child, and i've rediscovered some of the lyrics.

they are quite amusing (albeit disturbing).. this is a classic everyone knows, song number 2. .

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! These are great! I love your analysis at the end...

I just remember sometimes one of the sisters had to pray for a service group or something with a frickin kleenex on their head b/c they didn't have a proper head covering to use and weren't expecting to have to conduct the service group b/c a brother was supposed to show up. I mean how ridiculous is that?? And everyone just sits there and follows along. A kleenex?? Honestly!
