The use of Brother/Sister always felt weird to me. We don't address real family like that. It was funny a few times when I had people in the congregation tell me to address them by their first name. One Sister in her late 20's who was married, wanted me to use her first name instead because she "felt old" with being called Sister SoandSo. LOL

After further review. He's been out for awhile. He's on Facebook and is part of the ExJW Recovery group 3. He was kicked out in the early 2000's. -

Got the boot. Straight cold blooded
He seems sincere and this doesn't come across as a host. It will be interesting to see more videos from him. He just started a Youtube account.

JW's and Violence
by TD inmy wife and i have recently gotten hooked on the history channel's series, vikings.
(my wife is full blooded norwegian....).
to be honest, the show is quite graphic in spots, but certainly no more so than a history book i own of the same time period.. anyhow, we made the mistake of mentioning the show if front of jw's last night and they were all thoroughly shocked that we watch it.. i tried pointing out that big chunks of the ot are not materially different and that even the confrontation between david and goliath would get an 'r' rating if it were visually portrayed in any detail at all.

I remember one CO who brought up violence in history when he said he visited a Holocaust museum. The violence in the bible was mentioned briefly but still there was a warning against entertaining violence. It didn't make any sense to me at the time. Just reading the account of Samson and visualizing the violence would be worst than ANY R-rated movie out. There was a scene in Dracula Untold, where Dracula fights and kills a entire army. This movie was R but didn't show all the graphic detail of a "real" battle.

Why is a mass shooting in a church worse than other mass shootings?
by undercover ini'll preface this by saying that i was horrified by the news of the shooting in charleston, a town that i visit quite frequently, and i know where the church is.
i don't mean to make light of the situation, but my question is serious, after having watched news pundits, politicians, neighbors, friends, express shock, horror and outrage over the events.. they, like me, were shocked by the school shootings, and the theater shootings, and other mass shootings.
but i sense a different shock, a different reaction, to this event.

I think the media has a lot to do with these killings with all the coverage of police brutality against minorities. You add the coverage on the mass shootings over the past few years and it creates a cocktail for the crazies to be drunk with mentally. Shootings in churches and "religious" places aren't new. There are terrorist acts done quite frequently in Mosques in other countries. Just like others stated, What gets me is the reaction that these places are "safe" from terror. There are tons of movies that place violence in churches. One of which recently, Kingsman: the secret service. The movie had one of the MOST violent scenes in a racist church which features a British hero.

Who Is Your Favorite Late Show Talk Host Of All Time?
by minimus injohnny carson is still the king.
i thought jay leno was very funny.
letterman did nothing for me.

I don't have a favorite. They were all funny in their own way. Carson was before my time. Letterman seemed grumpy but the top 10 always gave me a few laughs. Leno was cheesy funny. Conan was corny. Kimmel and Fallon are both funny and smart. Arsenio was a good interviewer and had guest who wouldn't have got a shot before pop culture evolved -

Our hall is asking for money...
by thedepressedsoul ini guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.

Yes, pledge a HIGH number and when it's time to donate.......go grab a stack of your Monopoly money and put that in the box. Hey even throw in a few houses for equity!
