I kept most of the newer publications and gave the rest to Goodwill,a place I was told never to shop because the stuff from there might be demonized.It might be now.

NEW PUBLIC SPEAKERS COMING SOON?
by Deli King ini can remember sitting at the service meetings, listening to the announcements, hoping that someday we would get a letter from the wts stating that as of sept. 1, (anyyear) that qualified sisters would be giving public talks and conducting all other meetings.
in order to qualify they would have to be beautiful, weigh between 110- 120lbs, have a least a c-cup, free from accusation, a wife of one husband or single, free from accusation, .. .
feel free to add all and any qualifications you see fit to enhance your idea of a woman qualified to teach

I don't think women will ever be allowed to give a public talk...although they will be allowed to rule over the earth in heaven.Go figure.

I learned about the monarch butterfly in a recent issue of "Awake!" if you can call that putting the world on notice.

WT Attacks Being 'Easygoing' October,1,02 WT
by ISP inshould you be easygoing?
most people would probably feel that it is a compliment to be thought of as an easygoing person, one with a relaxed, placid, tolerant nature.
however, there is another side to easygoingness.

How Do You Unwind?
by Scully inlately, i've found listening to my "simpsons" cds while i'm driving home from work to be very helpful in de-stressing.
they always make me laugh, and it's far less depressing than listening to the news on the radio while i'm driving.. i've also been known to have bubble baths by candle light with a good relaxing cd playing (i have one that's of thunderstorms which is one of my favorites).
glass of wine optional.

The only ones?
by funkyderek inyesterday i was approached by a man who offered me a free stress test.
i immediately recognised this as a scientology scam (ok, he was standing outside the scientology building) but it got me thinking.. ireland is a small country, and over 90 percent of the population are catholic.
most of the rest are anglican or presbyterian.

When I went out with a car group,they would not do door-to-door.All they would do is ride around placing magazines at homes where somebody had accepted the literature before.They hardly ever answered the door but they left the mags.stuck in the door anyway.They would also drive very slowly around to several washaterias and offices and leave mags.The rest of the morning would be spent at Mickey D's,their favorite hangout.I have lived in my present house for 3 years and have never been contacted by them.Not like when I was young and the pioneer sister I always went with wouldn't even let me stop for a drink of water.

Fear of the New World
by WildTurkey ini always had a fear as an active jw, that i would not like life in the new world that i would not like to be perfect.
to never make a mistake, that would mean you would never get to kiss and make up.
i would never get to watch a real football game, and porn would be completely out of the question.

I always wondered if there would be any antique shops,which is something I love to spend all day doing.From the pictures in the literature I get the impression I would be in some field all day working my @$$ off for food.I also use to hear some of the sisters talking about whether they would still have their washer and dryer.Wonder what they would do if they found out they were going to have to spend all day down at the "crick" scrubbing their husband's dirty underwear by hand?Has anybody else noticed there are no roads in the lit. pics?

Did you experience favouritism at meetings?
by haujobbz in.
as former jw i did witness favouritism towards elders and circuit overseers and also noticed how low status j-dubs actually lined up to speak to the circuit/overseers wife.even outside association seemed to be confined to say elders associating with elders etc.
i remember when even a sister gave a glass of water to a coughing circuit.overseer but i noticed she never did this to others in the hall.. then for instance how many at the hall formed groupies after meetings not making any effort to gell with others,i felt so sorry for those just sitting on there own.. so why do they act like this, it beats me because a lot of literature and talks focused on not being impartial to others,were they really taking it in or was it a question of congregation status or favouritism towards others.. also outside the meetings association didnt seem to exist and only confined to a certain favoured individuals.

My son and I always came into meetings and sat alone while the cliques all socialized.It's funny,the things they do are just the opposite of what they are suppose to be studying about.(Agape love,kindness towards widows and orphans).The kingdom hall was the coldest place I had ever been in my life.We finally got tired of all the hypocrisy and got out of there.They talk about what a wonderful place the new world is going to be but who wants to live in a world with a bunch of snobs?I'd rather die now if that's the case.

Favorite Elvis Song
by ThiChi inelvis is the king baby!
it is hard to believe that 25 years have passed since elvis' death.
most his songs are "dated" imho, however, his "style" truly lives on.
