i was just poodlin' around on google and decided to see if anyone had come up with the idea of theocratic mobile phone tunes.. .

then i thought to myself, come on sunshine there was a time when you loved to hear the choir singing at the big assemblies, rather than the polyphonic plinketty plonketty of your average website.. .

so, i searched a bit more and found some mp 3 songs of actual assembly choirs buried here amongst the rolf harris stylophone renditions: http://www.l-and-a.com.au/comm/addons/archive.html.

Mike!!

I was just getting those tunes out of my head. Thank goodness I'm going to put on Classic Yo Yo (especially Prelude by Bach) to erase such memories.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You know after being raised a JW (I won't say how long ) it is still hard to get used to some attention.

But thank you everyone!

I received an e-mail from Ray Franz

i wrote to him to express my utmost respect for him and his wife and all they did by writing his books.

i wasn't going to say anything about it to anyone because i thought maybe that would be disrespectful to him.

to day in rereading it for the 20th time i just felt so melonchly about it.

The ``Four Presidents" Book: Impressions, Anyone?

by Room 215 in

jw
friends

i've just finished reading the ``four presidents" book and am ambivalent about it.

much of it strikes me as illuminating if overly anecdotal; its impact is for me vitiated by (1) the paucity of documentation and (2) the anonymity of its author and contributors, however sympathetic i am to their reasons.

perhaps the most valuable part of the book are the notes and their copious references in early jw literature to bizarre, now-discredited beliefs.. while much of it rings true and is consonant with my first-hand experiences, i find the allegations of incidents in which young bethel boys engaged in late-night homosexual limousine liaisons with wealthy new yorkers hard to believe (these were alleged to have occurred at a time when i was there at bethel, and would almost certainly have seen or heard of any such via the ``grapevine" to which i was as well connected as anyone).. readers out there, what are your impressions?

Joyzabel

Hey Room 215,

I find the allegations of incidents in which young Bethel boys engaged in late-night homosexual limousine liaisons with wealthy New Yorkers hard to believe (these were alleged to have occurred at a time when I was there at Bethel, and would almost certainly have seen or heard of any such via the ``grapevine" to which I was as well connected as anyone).

I agree. In fact when hubby was reading that section he said he NEVER saw that and he was there at the same time, too. Oh well, who knows what when on and where.

Oh well. Wish the author didn't feel the need for anonymity, we are still trying to figure out who it is.

Did you ever experience "Joy"?

by Pork Chop in

one thing that always struck me was the rather dour nature of the organization.

i know people laugh, and at seem to have a good time, at least occasionally.

however, one thing i just haven't seen is a real outpouring of joy, like david dancing like a crazy man or some of the other occassions in the scriptures when it seems like people were almost overcome with joy.. anyone here ever feel real joy as a witness?
