  i know there are numerous examples of crazy, whacked out stuff that the wtbts taught that most of here now realize were just that...... crazy and whacked......... but do you know how insane some of the stuff in that original 1961 bible was?.

  wow - i remember the bright green one, but nothing about dinosaurs.......i recall before that it came in separate volumes in a dark forest green with a larger print. they were into bright colors back then - the orange paradise book - there was a neon green was it daniel? bright yellow one from the early 60's - i want to say something about salvation?

  the green though was very undignified....when they came out with the maroon or black with gold leaf it was much more "professional" looking......and believable. as for its contents i lapped up the cream that it was the BEST most ACCURATE translation going..........but i was a kid, what did i know.

  Never cared for him....anyone remember Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet? He was a Presbyterian (?) minister and a pedophile....it all came out eventually....but he was very entertaining and I learned a lot from his shows.

  No one will ever top Julia though....."and nothing goes better with a hamburger than champagne" or the how to stuff a chicken one where she started out by saying something to the effect that first you spread his legs..........it was hilarious.

  I really love Chopped these days - and Iron Chefs...................

  They read off the names of those auxilliary pioneering; 75% of them don't work &

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  half of that 75% get disability and ssi checks.

  it was kinda funny sitting there listening to them go down the line, name by name, of the ones auxilliary pioneering since the numbers are dropped to 30 hours for march & april.

  as they were doing the names i was saying to myself, "she don't work", "she supposedly can't work", "he hasn't worked in years", "she gets a check", "she's probably gonna lie about the amount of hours she did" etc.. gotta love it.. i don't know if this happens in your congregation or not, but have you ever heard someone remark about someone else behind their back, "she can show up at every gathering, but she can't show up for field service!

  when someone truly cares about what they are doing, they do it for their inner satisfaction and they don't need a title or to be fawned over. they are content to go about their business and do their thing without fanfare and flattery. this entitlement because someone is running all over creation littering paper is just pathetically ridiculous.

  An elder called me.

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. friends

  an elder who handled the minor matter with my husband a few weeks ago called to see how we were doing.

  this guy genuinely is a gentle, kind, man whom the congregation loves.

  he's the one everyone approaches because he never judges or condescends.

  hang in there - it'll get better. but you do have to be determined and strong in your resolve...........don't let them drive you nutz - it just isn't worth it. remember you are free to do and be what you want to be and you owe no one explanations.

  as the only jw kid around growing up, plus an only child...i lived with loneliness, and it stalks me still. people think of me as a loner, but that is not what i want to be - yet it is what i am because of always being odd man out, not accepted, etc. even in the cong, with the burst of growth pre-75, i was the outcast, because all those people in my age group came from drug cultures, loose living, etc....and i was the weirdo.....so.....it still haunts me, and i have a real problem getting close to people, making friends.....etc.................one reason why i love this outlet so much.....i can just say my piece and move on. if someone likes it fine, if they dont, tough sh!t. but i know there are people here who have damages to overcome as well, and it takes time.............

  what i do for loneliness is log on here................................:)
