Jehovah's Witnesses 2015 Regional Convention Saturday PM experience parents shunning children

by Watchtower-Free in

clip 3 minutes long.

ron and brenda sutton ................warwick 3 children

it was the missed association with family that brought them back.

SafeAtHome

What a couple of f***heads! And after all that blackmail to get their daughter back in, do they seem happy? NOOOO! a more morose couple of morons would be hard to find. Did they even smile once, I don't know, it was hard for me to watch. Maybe I was too focused on her fashionable wanna be Amish outfit. Geez, I'm with the rest of you guys...pass the puke bag!

And you are right, not one word about how she came back because she loved Jehovah or knew it was the true religion, she came back because she missed her family. Do they even realize they admitted that?

Gordon Lightfoot

by RAYZORBLADE in

ok, if you're a canuck, chances you know that gordon lightfoot is about right up there with ol' jehover!.

but if not, nevermind, but i have to admit, i have been a lifelong fan of: gordon lightfoot.. this evening, i took his 'greatest hits' and gave it a listen, and as expected, i was still enthralled with his lyrical genius, and playing abilities.. anyone a gordon lightfoot fan?.

just curious.. all your folks living along north america's "great lakes" keep in mind, next month is the 28th anniversary of the sinking of the "edmund fitzgerald".. that song, by gordon lightfoot is haunting from beginning to end (over 6 minutes).. i personally love: go-go girl in love, bitter green, canadian railway trilogy, sundown, race among the ruins, wreck of the edmund fitzgerald, and well i like just about every damn thing he ever did.. your contributions?

Prefect: Just listened to it on YouTube then read the story on Wiki. Man, that ship was a disaster waiting to happen. Got familiar with several Lightfoot songs I didn't remember from the library cds and just downloaded about 30 onto my mp3. Can't get over how he looks now, he was so entirely HOT in the 70's, but then. weren't we all? (Well those of us who were around in the 70's )

Hey RAYZORBLADE, you still around? Had to add to your thread from 12 years ago. Saw Gordon Lightfoot in concert last week in Akron Ohio. My daughter had tickets and took her old mom who has always been a fan. She is 28 but loves all the music from my young years, especially The Beatles. Man, I had no idea he had been so ill. What a toll it took! I can't believe he is still touring. Please remember, I have always been a hugh Lightfoot fan, but my goodness, it was painful to watch. You could barely hear him and he had to stop several times to use an inhaler. Don't get me wrong, even so I am thrilled to have seen him in person. I only wish I would have seen him in the 70's when he had the voice we hear on the old records.

Went to my library and got all the Lightfoot CDs they had and noticed his voice started to go even before his illness in 2002. But my goodness, his lyrics send chills. He has to be one of the greatest in that department. His band was awesome, played so he wasn't totally drowned out. And he looks so thin and frail, would never have recognized him if someone would have asked who he was. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi and share my experience. YouTube has a few posts from the Akron concert if anyone wants to see what I am referring to, as far as his condition, etc. As I said even with that, I am happy I went to be in the presence of such an iconic talent. Thank You Canada!

I found something useful the Witnesses do for society.

i'm currently working at a rehab facility.

it also has assisted living, long term care, and hospice.

the facility allows churches to sign up for planned activities.

Yes, would any of them volunteer there without the JW agenda and counting time? Just go in and read to someone a nonJW book or participate in an activity? Probably not. When my dad, a long time elder, was in the last months of his life in a nursing home, he got lots of visitors on Wednesdays, the traditional mid week service days. They would come in their "goin' out in service clothes", spend a half hour, read a scripture and leave, no doubt adding an easy hour to their time slip.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Plastic Surgery?

by John Aquila in

in my area, a lot of the young jws, especially girls are getting breast implants, nose jobs, chin implants.

asian jws girls get eyelid surgery, and one girl even got her legs lengthen 5 inches making her about five feet nine inches tall the male jws are getting hair transplants and nose jobs.

and nobody in the congregation says a word, including elders.

What? Are you in California? And how would they pay for these expensive procedures? They wouldn't be covered by insurance.

Vacation Time: You want me to use my personal vacation to attend the D.C.? Something i feel is a load of B.S.and waste of my precious time

by goingthruthemotions in

so you all know that my wife is still blinded....i am well awake and so are our son's.

so she is expecting me to use my vacation time from work to attend the d.c. waste 3 days of dribble from the cult.

what of waste of time....yet i will do it to keep the peace.

Is she aware of how you feel? Not familiar with your background, but if she is, tell her fine, I'll drop you off each day, then go and see the sites of the city you are in or visit a nearby park for hiking, etc. Even go to a movie, museum, etc and take yourself out for a really great lunch! That's what I would do.

You could be an ex JW……..

if the only song you know by jimi hendrix is.................(fill in the blank).

if you are under the illusion hank marvin can actually play the guitar.. if you think the shadows and prince would make a great super group.. if the time 'half past eight' frightens you because it sounds like apostate!.

if you look around for a spy before wishing a happy birthday.. if you have never seen 'the exorcist' or harry potter movies.. if every time you see 6.07 on a digital clock you think of 5.39.. if you find yourself thinking, 'i must look that up.'.

Side ads are hijacking this site!

by WingCommander in

to jw admin:.

for about a week now, i've noticed that whatever ads you are allowing on this site are basically "hijacking" any attempt to read threads.

well, the side "ad" thing plays video advertisements, but that's not the problem.

I get the one for Asian women too, on my Kindle! Glad it's not just me. Also been getting Muslim clothing site, yikes! Sometimes the ad covers the right side of the post making it unreadable.
