  when i was a little boy this is what we did at the assemblys to advertise the sunday talk.

  this was at richmond va. i'm on the left, my cousin is in the center, and my brother in on the right.

  we passed out handbills.

  That makes me feel sad to see you little children with those signs hanging you.You look so innocent.I'm very sorry I made my son do some of the humiliating things he did.

  does anyone know why jws can say they are "fortunate",but cannot say they are" lucky"?the webster's dictionary says" fortunate" is a synonym for" lucky",so what's the difference?

  Thanks to all for your replies.

  Gopher,

  No,I don't think I want to try reasoning with a witness on this matter.They've been brain-washed to say "fortunate"so it wouldn't do any good.

  Yerusalyim,

  Very enlightening!

  freedom96,

  I agree,it is a very lame excuse they use to say they're separate from the world.

  They don't make 'em like they used to, eh Hilda?

  for a few weeks i've had this 'sister' on my mind, although she is deceased.. i've heard through the grapevine that her widowed husband isn't doing so hot, so i thought i'd share some memories...... one of my very first memories of attending kh in my old hometown was of hilda.

  hilda was one of the older ones even when i was young.

  i'm thinking she was in her late 60's when i first made her acquaintance.

  Green Bibles

  i have always wondered something, what was up with the hard cover green bibles?

  i ask, as it just seemed weird to me to have a bible with this kind of cover.

  they always seemed to be everywhere too ... the new studies always had one.

  I remember those Bibles well.It was so embarrassing to pull it out at the doors and read a scripture.I wonder who's stupid idea it was to make them green?

  i really hate thunder storms, must admit.

  i try not to hide in my basement anymore though, shuddering in a corner, reading a book by flashlight waiting for them to pass.

  unplugging all electrical applicances, telephone outlets, like a mad woman... looks like we're gonna get one tonight, it's getting closer to us, as per weather.com.
