- your not a really good witness if you don't answer at least once every meeting but if you do, only say what's in the lit

Name Some Stupid Watchtower Rules or Ideas
by minimus inthere's a lot.. one rule that is dumb is that a brother must wear a suit for a sunday public talk that he is giving.
any other time, the brother could wear a suit coat with a different pair of pants and not be counseled for it.. another dumb idea is that you cannot date a person unless you seriously might marry them.
if you're on a date, you were supposed to always have a chaperone and holding hands might not be allowed as well as sitting together.. what other dumb rules and ideas can you add?.

A little happy news about my Mom
by finding my way inmy mom who has shunned me off and on for 4 years had decided about a month and a half ago to fully shun me.
no responses to e-mails or anything.
it's rough, but i've been dealing with it.. i know she loves me and thinks she's doing the right thing.

Good luck

- have to be a "good" witness to play in the orchestra, be in Drama, interviews, demonstrations etc etc
- can't have contact with family and friends if they leave the org
- should preferably not go to the toilet during the long am/pm sessions at assemblies and have to be there in time for song and prayer...God will not be pleased if you miss it...it's his party for gods sake!!
- you should preferably not have a TV, computer or radio in your home / read bible and lit 24/7
- don't watch Dirty Dancing coz then you'll immediately become a fornicator
- wordly people are evil and dangerous
- we don't trust anyone of you to think or act for yourself

in addition:
if you go by twos, both report the same hours so in reality all hours should be devided by half...at least!!!

underling++ = spirtuality++
by highdose indos anyone remember how the dubs used to try and show how spirtual they were by how much they had underlined their watchtower?.
this also happened to their bibles too, i saw one that was almost unreadable due to the mass of neon coloured highlighters and scribbles in the margin, myself i used to think "oooh they must be sooo spirtual!
" but really... how hard is it to agree with brain washing when your brain washed yourself?

Not to mention how spiritual you were if you brought and used the big study version of the bible!!!
Hey, that heavy book can bring back pains to anyone!!

A gun was pulled on my mum.
by LouBelle in11 am in the morning, a very busy road, a very busy banks' parking lot.
my mother walked down the stairs to her car and saw a masked man run around her car and come up to her.
he pointed a gun at her chest.
