this is great!.
most days i have to walk through a shopping centre.. a df'd guy is always in there preaching.
he was df'd nearly 10yrs ago for basically disagreeing with everything the soc.
bizzare!!!
we had this guy who used to study.
he was a fat ,black, gay guy, living in a white tough neighbourhood.
he wouldnt get baptized because he didnt want to stand out !!

i understand that for the last couple of decades it has become wt policy for local congregations to sing kingdom songs to recorded music.. now, apart from the awful uniformity and the squishing of individual musical inventiveness, this strikes me as another attempt by the wtbts to numb the publishers mind with banal hawaiian style paradise tunes.
no more an elderly sister treadling an ancient harmonium, bye bye li'l schoolgirl squeakily playing her recorder, ta ta to the teenage guitarist strumming a, g and d to every melody as the congregation gamely sang tunelessly on.. so, just for fun, i was thinking, wouldn't it be hilarious if we could switch the tape / cd / record just as bart simpson switched the church organists music to "in the garden of eden, baby" in a recent programme.. what song would you like to be broadcast over the pa system, bearing in mind that you would only have a few seconds before your efforts at sabotage would be rumbled?.
i've though about it for a while, and i would love to have the venga boys played to the congregation.. the title is, of course, "sex on the beach".
hi englishman
funny you should say that.
i once did that.
i changed the melody from, "from houe to house"
to "enter sandman by mettalica !
this is true, and i received a bollocking for doing it.

my dad was telling me today that i am a big dissapointment to my mum.. it seems the feels that all her years of rearing us are a waste of time,.
because her three kids dont go to the meetings.. she drew parralels to another family, in our hall, and said we all the same.. the other family has four kids, three of whom are/were drug dealers.. one was driven out of the country by terrorists because of it.. the other is a prick living in a giant house.
he only talks to you if hes bought.

the other is a prick living in a giant house. he only talks to you if hes bought
a new gold brick to show off. they all hate thier parents.
we arent the most successful bunch of kids ive ever met, but i thought
we had a good relationship with
our parents.
maybe thats not worth much after all.
see you

the posts in the elders meeting thread got me thinking about this, so i've spun it off for into another thread.. were you ever 'counseled' because "some" in the congregation were disturbed by things you said/did/listened to/watched?.
here is just some of the stupid stuff that the elders brought me in on.
though they were usually handled through shepherding calls, not in the back room at the kh.. 1: because i decided to change my first and middle names.
hi there.
this is a good point.
i was once called over by the school overseer, to discuss my "obsession" with
CHESS!!!
he told me it was a dangerous thing to spend time competing, and could lead me astray.
funnily enough he later attempted to commit a fraud against me and my brother in an attempt
to have us disfellowshipped. he was removed himself, only after i threatened court action.
thats kinda why im here.

why does there have to be a point in celebrating a festival - why cant.
it just be a good excuse to have the family get together and enjoy each.
others company, have good food and drink and have a few days off to.

santa

hi
you said,
Why does there have to be a point in celebrating a festival - why cant
it just be a good excuse to have the family get together and enjoy each
others company, have good food and drink and have a few days off to
watch some good tv and spend some time playing with your kids on the
floor with their new toys. To most people the religion has gone out of
Christmas anyway.
there is nothing wrong whatsoever in taking advantage of this holiday.
my family has done this for many years.
the problem comes when you try to take up WRONG practices.
please by all means have a party.
but why try to follow every wrong practice that is done ?
if you lived in ancient amazon would you enjoy the yearly holiday from slave like drudgery ?
SURE
but would you then run around looking for virgin hearts to cut out and sacrifice to the gods ?
you know its wrong, and yet you do it.
i am not trying to start a flame war, but it seems to lack a mental courage to go against what you
know to be true.

well, i started today.... christmas shopping!
i have been waiting a long time for this pleasure and i couldn't wait another day!
well, it is only 12 weeks to go!!!
i dont see the point in celebrating it.
its a manipulative holiday.
its not biblical.
if you are not religious anymore, fine, but why would you do it you know its wrong
