Will they ever say "Peace and Security"?

by JH in

with all the trouble around the world, do you think that one day we will hear "peace and security".

we heard this so often when we were in the jw's, but no one knew how it could happen.

i don't see any peace in the horizon.

For sure I'd s**t my pants, but after I'd changed them, and thought about it for minute or two I'm sure I'd be OK.

Probing Questions

by Farkel in

jw
friends

there have been a whole bunch of probing questions in new threads lately.

people are encouraged to spill their guts out on the most sensitive of topics including jeopardizing their identities with questions about what they like on their pizzas.

just call me old fashioned, but some of these polls look like information-gathering the wts would love to mine.

They're pinching the best ideas, eh? So, if "Dubsticks" turns up in the next Kingdom Melodies, we know why

Ozzie's Weekend Poll #34

by ozziepost in

jw
friends

mrs ozzie prepared the lunch and i made the drinks!

our visitors were baptist folk, so there was no shiraz today, out of respect for their sensibilities!

we enjoyed our conversation about dateline/panorama/sunday and they are taking a tape of the sunday program to various church groups in the south of sydney.

Level 42, although under the current mrs. ig's influence I'm getting into classical music. I saw the amateur orchestra she's in do Holst's The Planets last year - absolutely blew me away. Fantastic opening rythm in Mars,

I'm so very depressed...

by Nickey in

lately, i've been really depressed at missing out on my life.

from being pulled out of school in the 3rd grade to keep me away from the "worldly" kids.

i was basically isolated.

Get some singing lessons - even if you want to sing pop/rock stuff - they'll teach you how to use your diaphragm and voicebox properly so you don't end up knackering your voice. Lessons are also good (imho, anyway) at keeping the momentum up - helping you feel like you're making some progress week by week. And, take Robdar's advice.

When Icicles Aren't Nicicles.

by Englishman in

jw
friends

this morning i was booked in to replace 2 fascia boards on the gable of a tall victorian-style house in wsm.

because the building was relatively high, i decided to use my heavy-duty, extra-long ladders instead of the lighter set that i use mostly on houses such as this.

so, early this cold and frosty morning, before it was hardly light, i walked round to the back garden and lifted them off the wall brackets on which they were mounted.

I hear from a reliable source in the deepest depths of Cornwall (near Land's End) that they have snow there and it's settling - so it must really be unusually cold in the south-west at the moment. Good lord, an English person talking about the weather. I am a stereotype.

Weird and unusual Kingdom Halls

by Junction-Guy in

jw
friends

does anyone here have any experiences with any unusual kingdom halls, such as architecture, location and furnishings.

in eaton ohio there was a small kingdom hall that sat next to the railroad tracks and everytime the train went by it shook the building.

in salyersville ky there was a small kingdom hall in a storefront buliding, no sound system and they had a kerosene heater at the back of the hall.

Not really weird or unusual, but Beeston cong in Notts. had old and tatty second hand cinema seats. They gave the place a seedy ambience, a sort of basement fringe art theatre feel. Perhaps the purloinment (sp?) of second hand cinema seats is not uncommon amongst KH furnishers?

Whats the dumbest reason youve been counseled?

by avishai in

my friend was counseled for having a bad attitude because he wore white socks w/ his suit.

iggy_the_fish

For wearing a joke water-squirting button hole flower at a party in which fancy dress was permitted. I was supposed to be Charlie Chaplin, perhaps they mistook me for Hitler, and misconstrued the flower for some kind of offensive weapon.
