i remember when i was a jw, drinking a good wine or other liquor was looked down upon.
it’s better to put that money towards the worldwide work donations i always got told.
so the best thing i ever got was johnny walker red back then (johnny walker is cheap blend).
mousy - JW, drinking a good wine or other liquor was looked down upon. It’s better to put that money towards the worldwide work donations
Of course it was. The sanctimonious narcissists are all over the bOrg.
I wonder what TOMO 111's excuse is? Isn't he always peed as a newt?
I often find that the most self righteous, virtue signalling people have the most sordid filth to hide.
when i was younger we had song books and i recall that some of the songs were pretty catchy.
then they revised it took some of those songs out, and added more.
i have to admit some songs were pretty good.
.......and there was always that attention seeking old biddy that would sing like an Opera singer that had just been probed by an alien whilst listening to the Shaggs album.
'OoooOOOOooOOooooOOOOoOoOOOOOOOoooooOOOOO!'
the video for midweek.
walking 25 km, stay in a witness home and the topper, selling a chicken for money to feed 2 or 3 families.
all while wearing a tie..
I remember when I left the Jobo cult and did voluntary work at a soup kitchen. My Jobo missus (who left me and got married to another Jobo), said, 'those people don't need food, they need the Watchtower!!!'
Yes, I know.....typical of a fully hypnotised cultie.

Ghosty - we started using the vinyl records to provide the music to sing along to.
Me and another young geezer used to set the record player to 78 from 33. Sometimes, no one knew the difference because the songs were all crap anyway.

What Did You Think Of The Songs Sung At The Kingdom Hall?
All total and utter, non musical garbage.
The music was terrible.....'Laaaaaaaaaaazarussssssss lay sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping.....'
Written by talent-less sanctimsistic attention seekers.
The lyrics were often terrible doggerel with poor rhyming. Some were just a propagandist's dream.
Absolute depressing filth.
In case you didn't guess, I hated every single one.

I'm sure the invisible Mafia boss in the sky provides and protects.............just like the Lillelid family.

Strewth! Are the paedophile protecting men in Warwick still pedalling this rubbish?
It's okay, I know the answer.
we used to sing a slow song in the late 60's and early 70's that went something like : "don't be afraid of them that can kill the body buy cannot kill the soul" .... or something like that.does anyone remember that one?.
I must begin my therapy again. Those old songs make me want to hit myself on the head with an atom bomb.
which english translations of the bible are you favorites, and why?
my favorites include the (english) revised version bible (of 1881-1885) and its apocrypha (of 1898), the american revised version bible (of 1898, it close to the american standard version), the american standard version bible (of 1901), the new american standard bible - updated edition, the new revised standard version bible with the apocrypha, the complete bible: an american translation (it includes the apocrypha), and the twentieth century new testament.
i also use others beside those.. they are my favorites because i consider them to be highly accurate, and also they are either very literal (but not so literal as to be hard to understand) or they use functional equivalence.
It's been years since I looked at a Bible apart from the family Bible that was handed down to me. It is of course a KJV.
I recently had a goosey gander at the Tanakh. Only a brief one.
i have to share.
i went to the supermarket last night and got one item.
i placed the 10 dollar bill on the item.
As a general rule of thumb here in the UK we have to pay for bags in the larger chains.
Perhaps she was having a bad day and isn't always like that. Perhaps her other 'arf is starting a study with the Jobos or some other horrific thing.
Yes. It'd give me the hump but now days I try to use a bit of empathy. I'm not saying you should...just a new rule for me.
I don't get so stressed out on the roads these days either. I'm not so quick to flick the 'V's up at other drivers now. It feels more tranquil. After all, we might not be here tomorrow.
i’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.
now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.
even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.
What would happen if the Watchtower decided no more meeting at Kingdom Halls, only Zoom?
I don't have any predictions on this. It could swing in either direction. Mind you....I imagine the GB will do whatever brings in or saves them money and rock star status......probably whiskey in the case of TOMO3.
Follow the money.
