  I remember having them in Maine years ago with jam. They were a specialty of someplace and were rather expensive. When they came out I thought they looked very much like Yorkshire puddings and the taste was pretty much the same!

  .

  the meetings used to be three times a week and totalled five hours.. the public talk on a sunday was reduced from one hour to three quarters of an hour whilst we were still attending and then following our fade we were aware that the tuesday night group book study was stopped.. does this now mean the meetings total three and three quarter hours?.

  my husband was asking me this morning and i wasn't sure so wondered if anyone can help me out here.. thanks.. li.

  When did they get rid of the 15 minutes between the PT and WT? I can vaguely remember it when I was 3 or 4 years old so though would have been around 1984/5.

  My parents love the fact that there is only 2 meetings a week now.

  Loyalty Keeps Us Morally Clean

  a rebellion had begun.

  in moses' absence, the israelites built a golden calf and engaged in idolatrous reveling.

  the clamor of their immoral festivities was clearly identifiable as improper.

  When you said you were going back I wondered if we would ever get to ready one of your great satirical parodies. Thanks for brightening up my day.

  Hate them when taken to extremes. The odd one can look ok but not when they're out on display all the time.

  A daugther's purity

  by mrsjones5 in

  a young lady i know is touting on facebook about her 12 year old daughter's purity.

  the daughter just took a purity promise at her church yesterday and i find that i'm slightly uncomfortable with the idea.

  i know the child just started her period because her mother announced it to me and the child announced it to a whole park a couple of weeks ago .

  the watchtower november 15, 2010, young ones - what will you do with your life?.

  page 14, paragraph 12.

  ... you should get baptized when you are fully aware of what being one of jehovah's witnesses involves and when you are sure that you are ready and willing to take on this responsibility.

  I know that there has been mention previously about the possibility that there are some "awakened" ones in the Writing department.

  I think that para 14 could be one...all it really needs to have added is and aware of the consequences if you leave.

  On the other hand, para 15 kind of quashes that theory but there's more to this paragraph than meets the eye imho.

  Have your JW Relatives Explained about Generation/Overlap Change to You ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading on the way out's thread about his mom explaining the generation overlap to him it kicked this idea into my head to make this thread .

  i thought it would be helpful to see if anybody here has had jw relatives or friends try to explain this " generation overlap " theory to you as a faded or inactive witness and what happened in the conversations.

  so please feel free to post your experiences.

  DONNY - I love your colleagues answer that they realised time was running out and went back to the Bible.

  Yes, time was running out! They knew that once all the people who were born in 1914 were dead their source of income, control etc was going to dry up. Thats the real reason why the Noo Light came out.

  by Open mind in

  or, to your knowledge, did anyone ever make any inquiries of your local elders as to your "spiritual health" and suitability for courtship?.

  how'd that work out for you?.

  Blondie - what happened after you told her? Did she call it off or be an ostrich and ignore it?

  Never heard of this going on but I do know of a sister in a neighbouring circuit who was known as the matchmaker and would introduce brothers and sisters. She called me (I had never met her) and asked if she could introduce me to some brothers. I told her thanks but no thanks. I was 24 years old and wanted to live a little before marrying.

  I loved it when the animals started running. I thought they had seen the dubs and were trying to get away!
