  A Picture of the First Bethel

  here is a picture of 124 columbia heights in brooklyn that russell purchased when he moved his operations to brooklyn.

  it belonged to another preacher, henry ward beecher, before he died.

  russell also bought his other properties that beecher had on hick street, which i guess would be the first assembly hall.

  i'm a postman with the royal mail and was assigned to train a new starter yesterday.

  my line manager introduces me to 'dave', within seconds my jw radar was on maximum!

  in his mid to late 30's, politely spoken and with that haircut - i just knew it.. the post he'd applied for was saturdays only, he said he did a lot of volunteer work.

  Who better to look out for him than you? Hes very lucky. I bet he knows it (although he would have to make up another word since JWs arent fond of that word "luck".

  Nice to see you again nicolaou

  Gorby says goodbye

  my eyes for ttatt opened in 1995 with the generation change and the wt magazine stated "some witness thought that the generation started in 1914".

  since 1997, with internet at low speed, i followed h2o hourglass, www.xjw.com and later on www.jehovahs-witness.net.. did a bachelor and post bachelor since then.. now, nearly completed with fading, i feel it's time to go on with my life and do some other things, spending more time with my wife abd children instead of thinking about jw topics in my head.

  goal is being a better person and less grumpy at 45.... everything what could be said is already said.

  Don't Want To Be At The RC This Year...

  by JW_Rogue in

  the whole time i'll just be thinking about what effect all those crazy loyalty videos will have on my family.

  i can venture to guess that they'll be wound up and determined to "stay loyal" because this "is the truth" and "this system can't last much longer".

  i have to go because not doing so would raise too much suspicion but i'm really dreading it.

  Can you volunteer in parking?

  A chance to get out of the building some of the time?

  Here, they give the brothers headsets so they wont "miss" out. Of course, what you happen to listen to on your headset would be up to you......

  i told my sons, call your mother(jw) and tell her you love her and i know you don't believe in.

  celebrating mothers day but you are our mom and we appreciate you.. the most hard core jw will hang up the phone, i think it will bring tears to her eyes..

  my wife and i live in a small town in northern new jersey.

  there is a building near our house that, many decades ago, used to be the local post office.

  it sat idle for many years, but a couple of years ago, some folks bought it and renovated it into a nice little cafe.

  I bet you had to look twice when you saw that!

  Definitely falls in to the ephemeral category as you mentioned!

  This video is like a really bad take on the old bomb shelter videos they use to show in schools back in the 50s and 60s.

  I was going to say  it is like a Twilight Zone episode but they were much more cutting edge than this Org video so no.....cant say that.

  
  

  
  

  The problem is trying to run this past people who have seen "The Walking Dead" and other post apocalypse shows. The realism of those shows makes this look so lame.

  The Org has not learned that you shouldnt venture in to an area where you cannot be competitive.

  Its gonna take a whole lot of cheek biting for the average JW not to howl with laughter upon seeing this.

  Is it just me or does question #9 seem oddly juxtaposed in this list?

  The topics seem to be about self, about a young persons interactions and then you have EVOLUTION?

  to quote Sesame Street:

  Which of these things is not like the others.....
