  by Mary in

  hi everyone;i'm not on here too much anymore, but i've been asked to write a brief biography of our dear grace gough ('mouthy' on here).

  i'm writing my own memories of her but it was also suggested that i maybe contact others who knew her to see if they had a nice memory or two of her they'd like to share.

  it would only have to be a paragraph or two and your name can be kept confidential if you like.

  Find What Your Social Status Was in the Congregation

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

  the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.

  1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

  CAN YOU BE AN 'APOSTATE' IF YOU WERE NEVER BAPTIZED?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this subject came up with a friend of mine on facebook the other day.

  he was never officially baptized as a witness and i believe he is now a born again christian.. does crooklyn consider someone an 'apostate' if you were never actually a full-fledged member but ended up leaving?

  or are you just considered 'bad association'??

  albuquerque, n.m. - authorities in new mexico have arrested a 15 year old boy who shot and killed his parents and siblings.

  i heard on the news this morning that the little bastard admitted that he had also planned on going to an open place (like a mall or school perhaps?

  ) and opening up fire on everyone there too.

  i just got a call from a friend of mine who is going to court on friday to fight to see his children because his jw ex-wife doesn't want him to have access to them anymore.

  in a nutshell this is his situation: met her about 12 years ago after she had left the borg and they got married and had a couple of kids.

  she decided that she didn't want her children murdered by jehovah at armageddon so after being gone for 7 years, she went back and went back with a vengence.

  CAN EVERYONE DO ME A FAVOUR?

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  i haven't been on here much lately, but i read barb anderson's report on the court case in california the other day.

  nice to see the borg finally getting what they deserve.. anyway, the daily mail has done a story about it and at the end you can give your comments.

  i think there are a number of 'faithful witlesses' on there who are giving the "thumbs down" to any negative comments about the borg, including mine.

  "DON'T BE AFRAID TO DIE FOR THE TRUTH"

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my jw sister was over tonight for supper and after a couple of glasses of vino she told me that "today's watchtower study was bullshit" and that one of the 'elite elders' made a comment that bothered her a great deal.. he was apparently at bethel not too long ago and "one of the big-wigs" who was giving a talk said "don't be afraid of dying for the truth brothers" and this jackass was stupid enough to repeat this at the meeting.

  it bothered my sister a great deal and i said to her: "soooo are they going to start passing out the kood-aid or what?

  " she knew exactly what i was talking about and she said "ya, i wondered the same thing.

  So What Would You Do If You Won $550,000,000?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.

  if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?

  other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........

  FUN WITH COVERS!

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  there's alot of newbies on here who i thought might get a kick out of this.

  we used to do these "fun with covers" where we would take the issue of the wt or awake magazines, delete their captions and put our own in.

  wasanelder would then upload them to youtube.
