Pig, you are redefining the word awesome.
BTW, I shared your Kingdom Hall meeting/Field service videos with a few friends, and we all agree that your videos are the tits! Genius. Please make more soon. You are providing a valuable mental health service to the community. Good work by you.
has anyone had a jw rant to them around christmas time about how "horrible" it is to be a "worldly" person at that time of year?.
certian jws love to use the infamous black friday shopping riots that tend to occur as examples to back up this argument.
now, while those incidents are indeed disgraceful, they are hardly isolated to the "world".. among my "priveliges" was to be an attendant at a few district conventions.
Thank you all for your comments. The experience and comments you have all brought out really show (to a logical mind, at least) that such ugly incidents occur, no matter of what faith the people involved profess to be. Human "mob-mentality" can affect even the most devout of Christians, especially when facing a situation where poor seating can make an 8-hour seminar even that much more excruciating. Therefore it is absolutely inappropriate for any JW to make snide remarks towards Black Friday shopping.
Great point about the new releases, Medina. I forgot all about that. The tear into those new release boxes like army ants swarming over helpless prey. Throw in the fact that they release new publications at the end of the day, which really adds a nice layer of madness to the already hellish exodus towards the parking lot.
New Jeremiah book? I'm gonna read the whole thing tonight!
Smoky & man in black, most of the conventions I've attended did also have "luxury boxes" but they were ALWAYS reserved for administration. I had access to these boxes while working and you would get to see people lounging around on the couches and loveseats, feet up on tables, shoes off, definetly enjoying their elevated status. Furthermore, these VIP areas were stocked with their own donuts, coffee, soda, even lunchmeat! I found it very spiritually upbuilding to see how the other half lives.
Let them eat cake.

Pig,
please send me your address so I can forward you the bill for my coffee-soaked computer monitor.
Thanks,
Mr. Falcon
what's your passion?.
some people are very intense when it comes to politics, religion, jws, sex, love, the arts, music and almost anything that could get them revved up..
HAHA
You see, folks, Twitch is what we sometimes refer to as a "clutch" player.
Well done.

murders and executions, mostly.

Among my "priveliges" was to be an attendant at a few District Conventions. And on two occasions, I was placed as one of the entrance attendants responsible for unlocking the doors. We have seen many movies, documentaries and books which cover the Normandy Beach Landings of 1944. However, many of these historical accounts focus on the landings from the perspective of the Allied troops storming the beaches. Entrusting the opening of the Convention main doors afforded me an interesting glimpse into the feelings of the German defenders on that fateful morning in France.
Imagine, if you will, that you are a German soldier stationed in one of the concrete bunkers that overlook the advancing Allied troops. Only instead of a MG42, you're only equipment is a badge that reads "ATTENDANT" and a 2-way radio. When those doors were released, I saw very little "brotherly love" and "tender affection." On one occasion, I beheld what appeared to be a very elderly JW woman proceed to swing her cane at a very large attendant while yelling, "Don't stand in the way!" Wise advice, indeed from this aged True Christian.
I look forward to hearing any experiences or thoughts on this seemingly unfair comparison to the notorious Black Friday incidents.
loading the language is a propogandist tactic to trigger a reaction in the mind.
a prime example is the word 'apostate'!.
i have been called 'spiritually weak' for quitting field service, meetings etc.. how would you respond (without swearing or giving a punch up the hooter), if you were called this?.
....HELPS US TO APPRECIATE.
God Almight, how I LOATHE that term.
Anybody else hear this phrase all the time?
i'm sure this isn't an uncommon question but i'll ask anyway.. suppose you had the chance to suggest one book, essay, article, or other writing with the goal of helping a loved one wake up... which one would it be?.
bear in mind the goal is to subvert the programmed hair-trigger defenses that cause a complete shutdown of critical thinking.
this automatically excludes anything that would directly place the wt society or its history in a negative light.
Cool Hand Luke. Either the book or the movie. Or both.
Elders always reminded me of the bosses.
"Any man don't turn in his service time, spends a night in the box."
"Any man don't Reach Out spends a night in the box."
"Any man don't have a regular Family Worship Night spends a night in the box."
the comparisions of slavery in the early days of america, to the watchtower today are endless.
here are just a few that come to mind.
1) you have your overseerers.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
or anything by Bukowski.
