  Conventions/Assemblies in England

  by ScottyRex in

  2. experiences

  does anyone remember haysbridge, crystal palace, twickenham, dorking from the 80's/90's.........so many memories there.

  the 5p lunch vouchers, the aroma of bacon rolls and hot doughnuts at twickenham, the smell of coffee as 50,000 odd opened their thermos flasks at lunchtime.

  walking around endless laps of the perimeter of the stadium at break times, watching the airplanes flying low over twickenham stadium en route to heathrow.. cinema style seats at dorking assembly hall, the baptismal pool built into the stage, flapping my hands in the water and getting told off.

  Was the rainbow one from 1986......"Divine Peace" DC....?

  i remember that one! i only went to dorking twice,i too remember the seats,i used to go on my own as my mother couldnt use the coach laid on as she was a smoker even though she wouldnt have smoked all day!

  i remember the planes at twickenham broke the boredom. i remember when we had the bomb scare at southampton dc,it was held in the 'dell' footbal club stadium.

  i remember the 5p tokens and the sweet peaches.

  i used to envy the families on the open steps at the stadiums ,it was like a picknic. one year a brother put up a fishing umbrella for his family when it rained and was critisized for doing so as fishing was a blood sport and not allowed!

  i remember as a child the boredom of siting for 3 days in a hard stadium seat,as i became a teen the boredom was eleviated some by seeing all those pretty sisters.....

  we once had a circuit assembly at a seaside caravan resort, bracklesham bay i think it was, nice place bad company!

  i have photo's somewhere of me and mates at the dc's ille lookem out.

  Your worst field service experience.

  by littlebird in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my worst field service experience was this.. i didn't have a car at the time and so a pioneer sister was picking me up of service every couple of days.

  she was my partner and i got a door where the woman was clearly not interested.

  as i am stepping away the pioneer sister starts in with all the objection stoppers.

  i had a few! one time there was an article in the Awake about a nazi ss soldier who had changed into a nice jw,the house holder went nuts shouting about how his dad faught the nazi's blah blah blah,so he grabbed it off me and ripped it up chucked it on the floor,so i offered him the watchtower to as they came together! lol

  i especially hated calling on the homes of folk i knew from school,that was cringe making!

  any one have some funny ones?

  i was working with a very pru 20 year old brother,we knocked on one door and a hot girl answered,she was just holding her towel round her,Dathan did his presentation and handed the girl the mags and as she took them her towel dropped! all 3 of us nearly died of embarrasement!

  article in the UK daily mail about JW child abuse

  by highdose in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  my home became my nightmare': a woman recalls her childhood of abuse by her stepfather.

  beth ellisafter suffering years of abuse as a child at the hands of her jehovah's witness stepfather, beth ellis (now 30) finally made a statement to the police five years ago.

  but, because of the closed nature of her upbringing, getting enough evidence to prove his crime became an ongoing battle.

  Mill Hill Disfellowshippings and JW prayers

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the following comment was posted in the "mill hill disfellowshipping" thread:.

  all 4 were disfellowshipped for believing that the entirety of the ransom, including the new covenant, and the mediatorship and everything else in the bible, applied to everyone.. if that is the case, why do all of the jw prayers, public and private, end with "we pray this through your son, jesus christ, amen"?.

  ending prayers like this implies that the payer is going through jesus, hence jesus is the mediator for all prayers made by jws!.
