Oooooh! I have a memoir coming out next year, so I pasted in a couple of chapters to see what it said. Apparently I write like Douglas Adams!
Which is awesome and flattering, because I adore him, even though I don't see the resemblance, myself

JWs advocate for the release of the Yorkshire Ripper
by brizzzy inhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1295224/yorkshire-ripper-peter-sutcliffe-spend-rest-life-bars.html.
check out the blue box.
of course jehovah's witnesses would adamantly vouch for a serial killer convicted of butchering 13 women.

Now he may even end up being eligible for day release. They want this guy at their Kingdom Hall, but I'm the evil apostate?

The term "elderettes" is still around; I've heard it used. In my congregation, it was generally used as an insult and a disdainful term for the elders' wives who acted elitist, pushy, nosy, and busybody-esque.

It had kind of the same tone as Lois Lowry's "The Giver" (another book to which JWs can draw a lot of parallels). And also "The Lottery", a short story by Shirley Jackson.

Questions for BANE, SCHOLAR, and All Jehovah's Witnesses!
by UnDisfellowshipped inyou don't have to answer all of them at once.
i would be happy to see your answers to any of these questions.. remember, the inspired apostle peter gave this direction in the holy scriptures: "always [be] ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect.
" (1st peter 3:15).

@loosie Yeah, I was baptized there, too. From the Orange County area, but currently staying about 3 miles away from the assembly hall, in Riverside. Love horses, but there's just way, way, waaaaaaay too many here. HATE the livestock smell of Norco. It's overpowering. Also not a fan of being so close to JW central :-\

zomg, I love "Moonstruck"! "Chrissy, bring me the big knife!!!" "No, Johnny, I tell ya, I won't do it!"
That movie is infinitely quotable, like "The Princess Bride" and "Young Frankenstein".

Weird Prayer at Last Year's DC - GB Worship
by LostGeneration inat the last dc i will ever attend in 09' some elder was called up to do the morning prayer.
i dont recall him being introduced as a co or anything thats why i say elder.. he starts off slowly and 20 seconds in i realize this is his moment of glory, giving a prayer at the dc and he is going to take his sweet time.
i know the closing prayers are like at least 5 or 10 minutes, but this guy is going to kick off the morning with a long rambling diatribe..... so part way in he gets to the "slave" and he starts naming them off one by one.....ya know thanks for splane, pierce, barr, loesch....so on and so on....til he gets through them all.

If they removed all the filler crap - synopsis of every single talk and its content that day, overly specific gratitude ("and thank you, Jehovah our Heavenly Father, for the lunch we ate today. The Diet Coke I had was both tasty and low on calories...") then prayers would be nice and short and snappy:
"Dear Jehovah, thanks for all the good stuff you do for us. I'm not going to list it because you're omniscient, so you know it all anyways. We appreciate the good stuff. Please keep it up. If for some reason bad stuff happens, don't worry, we know it's Satan's fault and not yours. So long, and thanks for all the fish. In Jesus' name. Amen."
Simple and direct. People wouldn't want to dive into the bathtub and slit their wrists after a prayer like that.
