  The latest addition to the GB, Mark Sanderson, looks rather well fed for his age (presumably 47 years old).

  has anyone seen this?

  it's rich.

  it's too bad that this will blow right over the heads of jehovah's witnesses.

  Just curious - since Boakheo Nantah was enroute to the US, would not the other students also come by boat in 1956/57 for the Gilead school?

  Would the passenger manifest not also list them coming from Thailand and going to "Watchtower Bible Sch. of Gilead"?

  JEHOVAH

  does that name produce in you any feelings?.

  when you see that word, "jehovah", does it make you think of god?.

  do you ever use that name- jehovah- in your life at this point?

  It appears the WTBTS discovered in the early 1950s that text in the Holy Scriptures and recycled it ever since.

  Service meeting topic: Masturbation

  by perfect1 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.

  i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).

  looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.
