first of all- a little history.

my ex-wife a fanatic jw seems to be in a pissing match ( not of my choosing ) with me over trying to get my son back into the jw cult.

he's 25, been out of the witnesses since 17 and he is very happy with his life .he has a great girlfriend, he enjoys gardening growing his own vegetables and he is a performing singer/guitarist now writing songs and performing in front of hundreds of people .

Hi Flipper,

Glad to hear your son is in a happy place. My Brother tried using the guilt trip on me last time he saw me, saying "you are going to die at the Big A, your children may even die if you dont come back to the truth..." At this stage I stood up and called him a dickhead (at an ASSembly hall) and he hasnt spoken to me since as I am a bad association. I am not df'd, I am just inactive and dont go to meetings. Yet his super spiritual hypocritical wife has labeled me an apostate, so he cannot talk to me. But, oh, he and his fellow MS buddies can all send porno emails to each other...... Go figure...

Did your parents' zealousness ever embarass you?

by keyser soze in

my dad was/is very zealous about announcing his faith.

but he doesn't quite have the knack for it, or the tact.. case in point: when i was a kid, about 12 i think, him, my brother and i were walking into a department store when we encountered a lady out in front who was passing out leaflets for a political candidate.

it wasn't even a major election.

Are you RANDY?

by St George of England in

why is it that the characters in the convention drama always have a kid called randy?

he is always the good kid in the illustration and the elders always address him with "hi randy" in cowboy film accent.. he in england randy has sexual connotations and means lustful or promiscuous.

are kids actually called randy in the us?.

No, just handy.............

International Conventions = $$$$. WTBT$ in bed with South Korean government

by Mattieu in

i remember the whole process of selecting a host city for australias last international convention.

the australian bethel played the nsw government against the victorian.

it was so similar to choosing an olympic city and the big boys from bethel knew how to play the game.

Interested Observer – really good points made on a tax exempt not for profit organisation, actually making profit!

On a side note, remember how we were all encouraged to wear our lapel badges from the time we leave the hotel to when we return in the evening after the convention? Even to wear them when we have our dinner at restaurants? Was it really to give a witness? Or was it to actually remind the hoteliers and restaurant owners in the host city of how much money these convention delegates were bringing into the city?

I attended a conference in Asia recently and we were encouraged to wear our large lapel holders at certain restaurants to gain a 20% discount. Similar principle, the local government needs to prove to the taxpayers, that spending money on rebates and appearance fees actually brings revenue to the local hospitality industry and flow on to the general business community.
