A blah and uninspiring song sung my religious zealots with margnal singing voices making an attempt to emulate the world. I visited Bath a few years ago and would have been emabrrased to have been there if I were still a JW.

Since the late 1960's "Special Pioneer" Barbie has been serving where the need is much more fun... out in Malibu. Her Pioneer parther Midge was DF'd a while back for acts unbecoming a Christian. Oddly enough, around that same time, Midge's boyfriend Alan and Barbie's little Sister Skipper, were both publicaly reproved (but no one's supposed to be talking about that however there has been quiet a bit of speculation anyway). Since that went down, Barbies been wondering what the point of it all is. She's been bending some of the rules herself these days. In fact a few times she's been spotted working in Service alone with "Ministerial Servant" Ken in her convertable Corvette. Their blond hair flying in the breeze, their Boardies on under their serivce clothes and their surfboards conspicuously strapped to the back of her car. Both noticing the increasing breeze and both hoped the waves wouldn't become too gnarly by the time they'd finished thier territory.
More often than not these days, Barbie passes the time in service by daydreaming to herself, wondering which one of the lovely beach homes she'd called on that day would become her Malibu Dream House after Armageddon. For the most part she's maintained her Theocratic zeal but sometimes being a role model for all these go nowhere JW girls made her weary. There were times when she couldn't help but wonder how her life would have been if instead of accepting a Bible study with the Witnesses, she'd have continued with her career as an Airline Stewardess/Fashion Model. She often consoled herself by rationalizing that being "Special Pioneer" Barbie was a far cry better than being "Single Mom" Barbie or maybe worse...."Rehab Barbie". Still, no matter how many nice assembly outfits she owned or how many accolades she got because of her position in the Congregation, she worried about the future.
She knew that if this system of things didn't come to an end soon and had to continue Pioneering, she'd have to say goodbye to young "Bendable" Barbie and hello to "Bunion" Barbie, "Bifocals" Barbie, "Hot Flash" Barbie and eventually "Facial Hair" Barbie. Sometimes the thought of this eventuality became too much for her to bear. She'd remember how she'd learned over the years to block these unpleasant thoughts out with something more pleasant. Today she decided to think instead, about how perfectly turned out she was going to look in April wearing her new "Memorial" Barbie outfit with matching gray kid leather boots. It was remarkable how they coordinated perfectly with the Silver Sword edition of the Bible she'd be carrying that evening. Slowly she felt her anxiety subsid., She saw "Ministerial Servant" Ken loosen his tie as she turned off PCH and headed to Latigo Point. " I'll think about all that tomorrow" she told herself. She applied an especially heavy coat of zinc to her still perfect nose. "New System just around the corner or not....I'm not taking any chances".

What is the best advise you have ever been given?
by new hope and happiness inawhile a go i was uptight about a matter i can't remember now and my friend said to me " give the other side the victory".
a while ago my little boy was getting uptight and argumentative with his mum i asked him " to let it go" in effect i suppose " giving the other side the victory".
anyway i am sure our life exsperiences have allowed us both receive and give good advice.

Unless you have concrete evidence to the contrary, always assume things are going your way.
For instance if you walk into a room and you see two women suddenly start whispering and looking disapproving, unless you have proof, just assume they are saying to eachother.
" I heard he's already married"...
"Oh...darn...too bad, the good ones are always already taken".

1000 studies
by sporece intoday i was playing racquetball with a pioneer ( i have not attended the kh in seven years but i'm not df ) he's pretty cool and has no problem in .

To demonstrate the success of JW.org, one would have to show how many more studies were started overall this year compared to the ones started this time last year before the big JW.org push. It's a numbers game. If thousands and thousands of JW's are directing people to JW.org as a place to ask for a study then it's only natural that they would have some sort of results. The 1000 studies that may have normally been started via the door to door work anyway, now show up on JW.org instead. If you look closely enough you may find that the studies garnered from the door to door work could possibly have dropped significantly. The JW's are showing up at the door, handing out a flyer directing people to JW.org and walking away. I doubt anyone is starting a study right there from a cold call on the first visit.

I notice Jimmy just glossed over the JW topic. It's just such a non issue to most people. The general public have no idea how big of a deal it is for JW's to hear themselves mentioned on national TV or to have a famous person become one of them. They think it somehow makes them more legit and credible. The fact is that if you or I ever acted, dressed or made our living the way Prince does, we'd be marked as someone to avoid.

The answer I got to questions like that whenever I asked them as a kid was:
"We'll be perfect in the new system and we'll have the intellegece and ability we need to do everthing in a way that won't harm the earth or ourselves. Right now man is short sighted and greedy and even if they knew how to do things without causing pollution, their greed prevents them from doing it that way.

exwhyzee, OMG, does this mean that I have to sell my muscle car?
No...in fact along with all the recent doctrinal changes, to help with the widespread problem with burn out, they are now encouraging the friends to do brodies in the parking lot after the meetings.

Disgusting!!
by Theredeemer inso, about a decade ago there was a big scandal in my city concerning an young elder raping his 13 year old sister in law.
the elder got reproved but was never turn over to the police.
the girl's mom was an immigrant and very uneducated and decided it was best to forgive after the elders, whom one was the young elders dad, instructed her to remain silent and rely on jehovah.

Does the victim know about the Candace Conti case? Perhaps if someone told her or her Mother about that case and all of the other victims that have been reported lately, it might be just the thing that would give them the courage to come forward years later like Candace did.
These molesters don't just reform themselves. It's likely there are more victims out there and more to come.
