a bible truth - "one baptism".
(ephesians 4:5) .
however, according to 'accepted wisdom', there must be two baptisms - one visible, and one invisible.

good or bad?
how did/has the wtbts affected your social skills, social development, and/or how you interact with other people?
i have many questions about different social skills that i will ask either after other people post to this thread or to keep this thread active.
In my view I got very positive social education in congregation. Being that very shy and direct boy could really have halted my social experiences. But holding rehearseal speeches and been more or less forced to communicate with lots of different people and not forgetting to mention going to doors of total strangers helped me to cope with this aspect of life. I am not saying that I would be cured, I'm still shy and cautious but I can freely engage in any kind of discussion even with people I do not not, or when there is need to conduct small talk for example in work related events.
What the schools could learn young people in this area is really minimal fraction of what would really be needed, not all people are social and outgoing by default.

"help an isreal soldier" my first obligation is to a us soldier, than a uk one.
"viagra" "porn" "donate to save isreal" they have plenty of us aid, the fundamentals give zionist $75-$100 million are year, to bring forward the "rapture" "see lord save us from your people" movie.
the algorithm has no idea who i am or what my marketing preferenes are, sometimes they are correct, the majority of the time, their ads don't reflect me.. meet russian girls in your area now!
I really enjoy looking at those mailorder brides from Russia and Asia, more confusing are the ads where I am referred to meet some nice moslim brides.

well.....what can i say...after lurking and much research and eventual signing up on this forum...i filled out my fs report for april with average hours and magazines, but i never went out in the ministry.. it feels odd, and i feel bad for filling out time that i knew i never did...i hate the idea of going out to people's door and telling them a lie...not sure how much longer i can do this for .
just had to vent!.
peace.
I did that false reporting part too for couple of years until I came to a conclusion that the only one I was kidding was myself.

Well if your privileges burned you can at least get occupied with frequent just-hetero-porn watching, if that is something you for any reason would prefer.

for what it's worth, the following image was sent to me in an anonymous email so i can't testify to its authenticity.
she (or he, since it wasn't signed) says he/she was one of the bethel housekeepers and spotted the name tag in a waste basket.
at that time, the early 70's, knorr was regarded by many, including this person, (though disliked by even many bethelites) as god-like.

Nope this is for autumn circuit assembly for 1970
Those were the days when we had lapel card also in circuit assemblies, not to forget that they used be three days, or was it even three and a half.
