i grew up in the 70s and had a few of the posters young guys have.
farrah fawcett and bo derek in 10. i just bought a vintage copy of both for my work shop.
my wife says she does not care but you never know.
Yes, she has no hang ups like that. I have a book on the Playboy mansion and another on the Playmates. I bought them in a sale many years ago. Other similar photography books. Recently we were reorganising a bookcase and as she thumbed through one of them laughed and said not to let the elders see it or they would all be wanting to borrow it.

is it the annual meeting this weekend?
any insights on "new light" or new releases?.
Annual meeting was held on September 11, according to the latest Update #8.
That was not the AGM, it was the Gilead Graduation and meal (5:40) AGM should have been today (02-10-21), first Saturday of October.

Did CTR use the phrase "Religion is a snare and a racket"? I thought that was J F Rutherford.

Yes, I know "lies, damn lies and statistics"
i've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.
i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.
I also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
Absolutely true. With almost 1,000 deaths and 240,000 new cases here in the UK in the past week a stuffy KH is the last place I want to go, even with my mask on.

u/aposta-fish from exjw reddit.
good news bad news pandemic and kingdom halls.. first the bad news, coming out of israel - one of the first countries to push total vaccination.
the news is the vaccine especially the pfizer one looks like it wears off and hospital rates have gone up for those that have been vaccinated.
I dread the thought of having to go out on a cold wet evening to sit in a stuffy, poorly ventilated KH for two hours. The sooner they get the "For Sale" sign out the better. Lockdown has been great, no shepherding visits to make us feel guilty at our low hours.
As for the "booster shot", I've got my sleeve rolled up ready.

HOW MANY JWS WILL FINALLY FIGURE OUT THEY WERE SCAMMED?
Very few I suspect. They will just say it's evidence that we really are near the end. We've been waiting for this for years. There's none so blind as those who don't want to see.

just an observation viewing some of their on camera appearances , and their arrogance believing they are the only one`s used by god to reach and teach the people ,despite what gj said at the arc on the subject.. no doubt the gb men wear designer tailor made suits from the best tailors in nys ?
and their wives adequately provided for in a similar way ?
nothing from kmart or target ,walmart or whatever.. shoes are probably made from form fit cobblers to fit the individual ?
Some of the suits the GB wear on the broadcasts are pretty naff to say to least. i suspect they have a wardrobe of such clothes for broadcast events so as not to "stumble" the flock!
AM III said in the video where he was caught buying his whisky (whiskey - US) that his wife likes Jamison's.
Smiddy, your opinions are as valid as anyone's and probably will not change as much as those of the GB.

congratulations to ms raducanu, from orpington, kent (my hometown).. she has just won the us open on saturday.
i don't have a tv license or a tv, but i did manage to see the final in my local pub.
and the two finalists didn't disappoint - it was a cracking match with a high level of tennis.. and raducanu triumphed 6-4, 6-3. her achievement is pretty much unprecedented.
You mean she has been to Orpington or lives there. She is hardly FROM Orpington. Born in Canada of Romanian father and Chinese mother.
I would be showing my age to mention Zola Budd.

my studying consists of skimming the article.

Sitting through that today tested my endurance to the limit. Even with a coffee half way through!
