  i always wondered about him, but it's official.

  a public statement about he being a jw was made.. he is also involved in providing some help to a charity work, by providing his help at three concerts in chicago.

  the "rebuilding the dream", organization, that is non political.. i wish him and them all the best as they try and help those that have been adversely affect in this recession..

  I wonder about her, too. She just sits there and smiles, and flirts with him.

  I remember when she made the statement about her JW upbringing. But, nothing was said negatively about it.

  There's gotta be another faction in the Writing Department, either that or they can't see the irony.

  the past two week's worth of wt studies have made a couple points that appear contradictory in nature.

  yesterday was too much, i felt at least.

  either there's another faction within the writing department fighting for the equivalent of airtime in the literature, or they're all so indoctrinated that they fail to see the irony in what they publish.. for instance, take paragraph 5 from last week's lesson.. 5. unlike the law codes of many countries, "the perfect law" is neither complex nor burdensome but consists of simple commandements and principles.

  Wow...we totally missed the handshake thing at our WT study. We just commented on the wordly association, and the brother blatantly bragging about it by showing off the photos on his IPhone.

  Good for you, So.

  Nobody should be pioneering if it is a burden, or their heart isn't into it.

  Guilt trips seem to be the only thing left that gets used to motivate people.

  Be careful with that night club stuff, though.

  All the best with your studies.

  Jehovah does provide...thinking

  by Quarterback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i spoke with a sister who pioneered over 30 yrs.. i felt sorry for her because she had lost her husband who was df'd over a decade.

  she was only married for a brief time with him.. she dealt with this loss with the thinking that jehovah will provide her with a new husband, a house, and income for her security.

  of course this would happen if a brother her age suddenly lost his wife and became a widow.

  Service meeting topic: Masturbation

  by perfect1 in

  2. experiences

  one of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.

  i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).

  looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

  I must have missed this part....I don't remember it. But, I missed alot of meetings this summer.

  I remember a Dr Oz show that was in favored of masturbation.

  I think it is ok to Bait, but to become a Master at it is wrong.

  "Suggested" Donation when attending Circuit Assembly

  by BluesBrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i could have called this "fee now charged to go to circuit assembly" but i do not want to start rumours that go beyond what was actually said.

  the k hall announcement encouraged attendance at the upcoming assembly day.

  the elder then said that since the congregation no longer has to make a blanket donation to the assembly hall it is expected that the publishers remember their responsibility to maintain the costs.

  What frustrated me was the surplus of funds from each Circuit Assembly was automatically sent as a donation to the Society. This always made us start off with a deficit for the next convention. Then came the announcements...."Hello", "we have a deficit, you know. Keep standing up up until someone pays for it".
