  one of my other posts mentioned briefly how the c.o.b.e.

  of my "former" hall is trying to make it a rule of no football,especially for elders and servants.. of course,as a woman i would never qualify to be a servant,nor do i want to be.

  but,i still enjoy watching a bit of the nfl.

  I love football so very,very much!! Especially college football.

  Getting on a plane on Thursday to go see the OSU Cowboys play Baylor Saturday.

  Did you see Timmy Tebow on Sunday? The city of Denver loves that boy!!!!

  Saturdays are pure fun thanks to football season - so it makes since that it would be considered wrong by the holy brothers. I am sure it has something to do with fornicating or masturbating or animal sex. The new light will shine on us soon and we will all understand why it is wicked to watch football

  Popularity Contest

  by Voices in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everywhere i've gone, no matter what, there's always a 'popularity contest' (which i'm a loser to)... whether it was in the organization (based on how high you went up the chain of command or who you married for the sisters), the school system such as high school, college, etc.. or job.

  who does the hardest work, who does what, when how.

  even on this website.

  How long did Conventions used to be?

  by donuthole in

  i remember as a child in the 1980's attending four day conventions.

  i know in the past conventions were even longer.

  does anyone know how long they use to last and the approximate years?

  I luckily escaped the 8 day assemblies, but clearly remember the ones that were five days. We attended the conventions in ST. Paul.

  In 1973 we had a big one in Winnipeg and then in 77 a huge one in Milwaukee.

  I always had to play my damn flute at every convention - was so happy when we went to canned music

  At the '77 convention they loudly condemned the movie 'Saturday Night Fever' - everyone in my row had already seen it.

  just woundering how have you counted your time in field service especially if you were pioneering?.

  10 years pioneering at 90 hours/month - the last couple of years I counted time through my coffee break - but always begged Jehovah's forgiveness. I always felt guilty counting break time.

  Your most memorable Kingdom Hall meeting disruptions!

  by easyreader1970 in

  i remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.

  the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.

  they weren't just happened upon, though.

  In the late 70's my brother was in the same hall as Norman Zenke. I am not sure if Norman was the PO at the time. Anyway, during the Service Meeting announcements, Norman had another announcement he needed to give to the brother on stage. So instead of going up on stage and speaking to him or handing him a note. He gets down on his hands and knees and crawls up on stage and hands the brother a note from his doggy position and then crawls back to his seat. I beleive he thought no one could see him down there on the floor.

  Reached Out Only To Be Rejected

  by Quendi in

  last month i got word that a witness i had known had died suddenly.

  i hadn't spoken to her since my disfellowshipping six years ago, but we had been good friends.

  upon learning of her death, i wrote a letter of sympathy to her fleshly brother, also a witness, who had been a good friend of mine as well.

  Quendi, I am so sorry you have lost a friend (did I know her?). What you did was beautiful and I am sure it was/is appreciated.

  When my brother was killed I could not function properly for a couple of years. I never responded to any of the cards I received, and yet everyone of them meant the world to me. I still have them all by my bed - I will never get rid of them because of how deeply every card touched me. Before Derek's death, I rarely sent sympathy cards, now I always do. I am sure your card meant a lot to the brother. You did the right thing.

  Well, it's official, I am a rabid, mentally diseased Apostate!

  so an apostabuddy wanted to stage a silent protest at the assembly hall where she was baptized.

  we went today.

  the plan was to wear these apostate t-shirts that had stuff printed on them about thinking for yourself, and a bunch of websites.
