  All this 'new light' is, perhaps, shedding light on the WT darkness and allowing more people to see the truth?

  That can only be a good thing

  To be honest guys, this is the way I've always understood it (rightly or wrongly) regardless of what everyone else believes.

  After all, how can some little old widow lady in the back row at the Kingdom Hall, who nobody gives more than a passing thought to but for the fact that once a year they 'observe' her nibbling on a piece of dried up cracker, possibly be dispensing spiritual food as part of the 'FDS'?

  This isn't really 'new light' to me...

  Rather, someone changing the light bulb, and MAN is it getting bright!!!

  it was a perfect spring day, and a jazz band were playing in the mall near my work.

  in front of the band, two watchtower literature carts stood in solidarity.

  i could not work out who were the jws attending them.

  I forgot to add, these sisters did not have 'literature carts' but had improvised with an old warehouse sack-truck...

  Yes, I saw some sisters wheeling these things around while I was on holiday and couldn't believe it!

  Do they realise how scrappy it looks?

  It looks so unprofessional in my opinion.

  If You Were A Bro(tm) Did You Enjoy The Prestiage Of Giving A Talk? Do You Miss It?

  Personally, I enjoyed giving talks very much as I am particular about knowing my subject inside-out. I used to love standing in at the last minute to cover for other brothers who were sick or late as this was a real challenge and would test my knowledge and personal study. I loved the adrenaline rush and the on-the-spot pressure that it incurred.

  Actually, I may go back so I can do it all over again

  Has The Society, or Any Bro or Sis, Ever Screwed You Out Of Your Money?

  by LoisLane looking for Superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this thread was inspired because of 3rdgn, and her asking, on behalf of her destitute elderly widowed mom,.

  for the return of her mother's "conditional loan" to the society of $20,000.00.. (this was stated today, under my thread of, "what was the effect on you of knowing hypocritical jw's?").

  the society more or less yes, no, it is now our money, and you can't have it back.

  No,

  but time is far more precious than money...

  of which they have stolen much.

  They desire to suck the life out of every poor, unsuspecting individual they can.

  Your money is just a side order.
