...But Joe, those little blue ones came blessed! BTW, I'm wondering what the person looks like who would actually spend money for and wear those ugly ass shoes. I'm picturing someone Gary Larson (The far side) drew.

40I am JW.ORG
by LogCon infamous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!
it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.

What would be your favorite job if you could do anything.?
by new hope and happiness inon the basis that most of us realise the w.t wasnt really the best " job" or way to spend our days, it would be fun to find out what people would really have liked to have done with there lifes and if this is still possible.

When I was 4 years old I was asked to be in a demo at the KH, playing a little kid interrupting the publisher giving the presentation. Right then and there I KNEW I wanted to be an actress. I would have been damn good at it too ! Later, I wanted to perform as a back up singer. I would have been damn good at it too! Now, my dream job would be a beer taster. (I'm serious!) I would be damn good at it, I promise.

answer at the hall "its all illuminate!"
by purrpurr ini probably havnt spelt that right but anyway the other week a bro at my hall answered up saying that he had done research into the lives of these "rock and roll" stars and that he had discovered that they all belonged to a demon controled, satan worshipping secret cult called the illuminarte!
therefore we must steer clear of popular music because of the secrect demonic lyrics that it contains!!.
of course everyone nodded in agreement and the study conductor thanked him for his "fine" comment!.

Quarterback, there was a time when the WT conductor didn't hesitate to "correct" an answer. There were many conductors who would publicly embarass commenters so much so that eventually they were toldby HQ to instead ask the audience if there was another thought. However, they could NEVER call on a sister after the erronious comment because THAT would be a woman teaching/correcting. At some point the conductors just gave up and let the kooks only comment once or twice per meeting.

Human kindness
by stillin ini hold kindness in high regard; it separates us from the drudgery of life and elevates those who practice it as well as those who receive it.
my family has been going through a big crisis for several weeks now and i've noticed a few things.
several of the elders have expressed their concern for us, shared a scripture and then back out to field service or whatever.

Stillin, I'm sorry you are going through a tough time. Isn't it amazing that during these times people reveal whether or not they are your real friends.

I wonder how much the GB participates in their own defense. Even if they are/will hire outside council they may not necessarily be taking all their advice. After all, they have an established record of arrogance.

Just talked to Witnesses at my door for Hour about Watchtower Child Abuse
by flipper init happened again like in july when i talked to an elder and his wife about child abuse, but this time i got a hold of rank and file members who fortunately i was able to play like a fiddle as they had no idea what they were up against here.
so brother middle age ex-hippie convert ( as he told me later ) and sister middle age hair in a bun offered me the awake on death or our view of death.
i graciously accepted gaining their trust saying yes, i had close loved ones who had died over the years but didn't know if i believed in a resurrection or hereafter.

Pete Z, you are right that this tragedy will never make the yearbook. If the bus was headed for an amusement park and they had missed the Sun meeting, the CO's would have a field day using the tragedy to further their agenda. I know first hand. My son died in an accident that happened during meeting time on Sun. The whole circuit buzzed that had he attended the meeting he would still be alive.

Watchtower-Free, Thank you for your post. Common sense would tell us that dead is dead no matter what the reason for the bus trip. However, in the interest of helping mentally "in" JWs , the point needs to be made that Watchtpwer's claim that the preaching work is guided by angles is FALSE! Too many Dubs believe they are under some kind of umbrella/protection when engaging in "Theotracic" activities.
