  Very funny stuff Duncan.

  Reminds me of a couple of brothers I know back in NY, when they were rehearsing the night before the assembly (in front of the CO). The householder was supposed to be receptive, but the CO wanted him to play a trick on the 'loyal' witness and act irate, and really catch the 'loyal' witness off guard. (all elders)

  The 'irate' brother called the 'loyal' brother the night before, and told him of the CO's plan. The 'loyal' brother then planned a double cross on the CO.

  At the rehearsal on Friday evening, the 'irate' householder delivered his lines with great compunction, and the 'loyal' Witness looked stunned! The CO burst out in laughter at his joke.

  But then, the 'loyal' Witness pulled a gun out of his bookbag and says to the 'irate' householder, "Well, I think I've got something here that will change your mind!"

  Of course, the CO had been 'double-crossed' and the joke was on him, but I often felt like the gun method may be the only thing they'll have left to convince anyone soon!

  who does it benefit?.

  Art School JWs?

  by Stephanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some years back i went to art school for a year, and life drawing was one of the subjects.

  although the prospect of perving on naked women was at first appealing, it soon became evident that sex-drive is a left-brain function while drawing is strictly right-brain.

  iow, drawing naked people was just plain hard work, and it was the only thing that was hard!

  You all are WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!

  The WTBS encourages ALL art students! Who else do you think paints those tacky pictures on the entry ways of Assembly halls, ha ha.

  (I'm thinking of Henrietta NY in particular)

  And all of the 'bee-yoo-tee-full' illustrations in the magazines?

  You're just jealous!

  Linguistic forensic analysis

  by Skimmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  linguistic forensic analysis is the process by which a text undergoes statistical examination to extract information that is not explicitly contained in the text.

  the analysis is often employed to determine the identity of the author of an anonymous work.

  it has been convincingly used in cases from the _federalist papers_ of the 18th century to the novel _primary colors_ of about a decade ago.. since the death of rutherford, nearly all articles and books being emitted from the orifices of the wtbts do not carry the names of the individual authors.

  The only thing is, wouldn't you have to have a list of author's names to match it up with?

  The WTBS has not been forthcoming with the writing staff's name.

  This is brilliant, thought. I myself have determined to NEVER READ NOR TRUST an article written 'anonymously.'

  To have thousands of books in their library, and to never have shown credentials of ANY OF THIER WRITERS is outrageous.

  this post is rather personal, but it may help those who lurk, so if you will all please bear with me?.

  not long ago, i visited the town where i grew up, got baptized and married, gave birth to both my daughters.

  its a smallish town and among the witness population, everyone knows everyone.

  Was,

  I hope some young single JW girls are reading this. In the world of the JWs, you are valuable as a woman only when you are married to a 'spiritually strong' man.

  What a shitty lesson to teach young women; I like yours much better.

  I waited until I was 29 to get married, and it was HARD to give up my single life--I did enjoy it.
