Hi again James,
I hope you did not take my above 'post' seriously, it's just my humor! Thats why I signed it 'Love Outaservice'! I don't hate anyone and am very tolerant of all types of views.
Best to you,

The next time we meet in Chicago dinner is on me, even if it has to be 'tofu'!
If you need a place to relax and recuperate our home is always open to you, and we'll 'treat' you so many ways you're bound to like one of them!
Take care Brother, you're in our prayers, and we love ya!

Things I wonder about and have seen!
by Outaservice in1. why is anyone ever invited to 'the special talk' when it was always the most boring canned talk of the year?.
2. why is anyone ever invited to the memorial?
it's got to be the most confusing meeting for any new ones to listen to and no one hardly participates as christians are encouraged to do.. 3. i once gave a talk in a kingdom hall and on the stage was an american flag!

3. I once gave a talk in a Kingdom Hall and on the stage was an American flag! Did anyone else ever see such a thing?
4. In the 60's on a visit to Bethel I went to the Bethel library. At the end of the book aisles were different small room decorated with different country themes. At one oriental display there was a Budah God in the room! Did anyone else see this and is it still there?
Are there any others on the Board who have seen some strange things, or wondered about anything?

(not true by the way!).

Are JW Elders any different? Only in the fact that they get theirs free from the Society. And any good reader could give them without knowing anything about the Bible. And it better be word for word, no personal comments!
At assemblies quite often a brother would follow the talks/sermons with another outline to see that the speaker did not change a thing. So much for a need to be spiritually mature! I suspect they did not trust their own Elders and still don't. Yep, 2nd class ministers who need to be constantly watched. Yep, you would probably feel right at home in Iraq. The Society 'loves' you like wolves love sheep!

Condemned By Your 'Lack' Of Words!
by Outaservice injesus once mentioned that some people would be condemned by their own words.
i think you can also be condemned by your 'lack' of words.. the watchtower in times past would not miss a beat to condemn the catholic church for any unchristian infraction and highlight that in watchtower publications!
to my knowledge nothing at all has been said or printed what-so-ever about the catholic church's priest/pedophile problem to date!

Ever been to a "quick-build"?
by WingCommander in" for anyone not that familiar with jw lingo, it is when everyone in the congregation gets together to raise a new kingdom hall in about a week, or a weekend.
kind of like the amish do when they have "barn raisings.
" lol.

The Society/&Brothers used to refer to them as '3 Day Miracles'! When they realized that the Catholic Church was always talking about miracles too, they decided to refer to them as 'Quick Builds'.
Several JW's were hurt on the job over the years on some of these PR projects. Sometimes when you turned on the light switch, the toilet flushed. Of course, not having any windows made things go a little faster.
Our Hall was a 'Slow Build'! It took us 4 years to finish and is as solid as a rock. Yep, no field service for 4 years!
