  A story about Reggie and Reginald... and why it makes me cringe... more vomiting

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i grew up in new jersey in a very urban part of the state.

  i literally only saw white folks if they were in a police car or if i went to the assembly.

  the funny thing is at the assembly there was still a level of segregation as well although it was self-imposed.

  Sighhhhhhhh, the Draw Close to Jehovah book again for the Congregation Bible Study.

  by Stand for Pure Worship in

  check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".

  i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.

  at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

  @ Stand - This is the first time I've heard you objectively question and use critical thinking skills about what the WT Org is doing...

  GOOD FOR YOU!

  Also I believe it was in Ray's first book that what was going to be studied at book study was often determined by what surplus of old books was lying around and the need to get them out the door. When I first read that it sickened me; it's not "food at the proper time" it's more books sold to the rank and file at the financially proper time.

  2. scandals

  before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.

  during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.

  as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

  @ Katewild - Almost no one likes to hear their own voice!

  You did SO GOOD, especially on the recording and you stood up to them respectfully and that's what made a lot of us enjoy it the most.
