  Wow, a few names from the past.

  John Blaney - Back in the 1950/60's my dad was assigning out the territory for field service. Blaney finally came up to my dad, clicked his heels and saluted and said Yes Sir! He thought my dad should have been more tactful when telling bros/sis which street to cover.

  Albert Broad. - Stayed with us many times back in the 1950's, drove an Austin 7 which he said he could drive through the wicket gates at the level crossings. Crazy!

  Ron Drage. - Our DO back in the 1960's, eventually got called into Bethel. Had to resign along with a couple of others due to the Manchester case with the Charity Commission. Always wore a Dickie Bow. The last I heard he had cancer and was very ill.

  Doug Turnbull. - Probably best not to mention what happened to him.

  some big announcement or reveal is coming from the borg november 6th, according to the exjw reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/13xljaa/secret_boxes_to_be_opened_only_in_november_6th/.

  what do you guys think it could be?.

  my guess is a study companion to go with their new jesus series, they really need to rebrand at this point..

  I'm sure that whatever it is, it will be a "toes and feet" moment with the majority of JW's thinking "is that all it is?"

  Our CO is called Errol Flynn. Poor guy, fancy being saddled with a name like that. We have yet to meet him, his first visit a few months ago was cancelled as he had Covid. Does anyone know this guy? He replaces Sean & Nikki Smart who were OK.

  Watchtower (Study) August 2023 gaslighting and deflecting again.

  by was a new boy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.

  this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .

  deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

  My parents were baptised in the 1940's. They were told that little George would not have to go to school in this old system. Well little George did go to school, went to Uni, went to work, got married, retired and before much longer will probably die in this old system. Just like countless thousands of others.

  They used to change the covers of the Awake and WT to show people from that language area. They don't do that any more?

  Here in the UK we used to get Our Kingdom Ministry in English English as opposed to US English. (For Britain it said). Long gone, they can print stuff in a thousand different languages including Welsh, but cannot manage anything in English!

  Miserable week ahead for witness kids in England-The Coronation

  by Mit123 in

  i feel sorry for witness kids this week.

  schools going crazy with the coronation in england.

  witness won’t be allowed to participate in a harmless tradition that whatever you think of the monarchy will be a lot of fun..

  we all lined up to get a Coronation Mug and replica anointing spoon

  Didn't get the spoon but we did get the mug and a New Testament with the Coronation embossed on the front. We didn't have a TV in those days so we went to a relative's and watched it. As BB inferred things were not so strict then.

  My parents were baptised when I was a young lad in the 1940's but I can still remember the house being decked up for Christmas, the tree with lights and receiving presents. In fact I still have the lights from that tree in our loft!

  Maybe dig out the mug and fill it with something, Sis England can have a drink from her coronation cup and saucer.

  I have never heard a single mention of this from anyone in the congregation. Having said that I know of several elders who never ever look at jw dot org.

  I think he was crying because he propositioned a gay jw teen who turned him down and then later committed suicide.

  I thought that was Ewart Chitty. He was removed from the GB, ousted from Brooklyn Bethel and sent to London Bethel where he was given a back room job and told to keep quiet. He was assigned to a local congregation where he was very popular.

  I always thought some of us would be driving around looking for bodies. When we found one we put a stick in next to it and the burial guys would come along and do the digging. Has something changed?

  July 2023 Study Watchtower - Great Tribulation is coming soooooooooooooon!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  is this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.

  which he said would never occur again?

  (matthew 24:21).
