1980s Music Lives On in my Heart.
by Azazel ingreetings to all this is my new thread dedicated to that most entertaining of decades the 1980s!.
what i propose is to post youtube links to a favourite song and give a brief description and maybe why i liked it.. please feel free to comment and add your own video clips.. i missed out on all the glam of the 80s rock videos as it was considered too worldly to watch for a good jw teenager.. all genres are good but my particular favourite style was the new romantiscism artists.. to start this thread off the first video was made in 1979 ( blown it already i hear you say)no this song set the theme of what was to come in the next decade.. "video killed the radio star"- the buggles 1979. .
first video screened on us mtv.

"elders decisions mirror Jehovah" (channeling is spiritism ?) Now i understand what they really mean is they mirror the WTS"Jehovah" the god in whom they really trust!
"God loves a cheerful giver" so be cheerful and give and give till it hurts. They pass the verbal plate regularly now in KHs.
"reaching out" what? dry

A little example of how severely the contributions for the Society are drying up
by sir82 injust a little tidbit from the congregation i attend..... the congregation has approximately 120 publishers.. well over 1000 magazines per month are picked up, not to mention all the books, brochures, and tracts that are picked up.. there was a "local needs" part on the service meeting recently, asking for more contributions.. it seems our congregation has averaged just about $300 per month contributions to the "worldwide work" over the past year.. .
assuming 1500 magazines / month, that's just 20 cents per magazine - and that completely ignores all other literature that is picked up.. the last price the magazines had, 20+ years ago, was 25 cents per issue.
with inflation that would have been about 50 cents each now.. just another sign of how severely the contriutions to the society are drying up..... .

Maybe the WTS can dig into their "archive" ( new wt feature) and start selling good ol boy Russells "Miracle Wheat". I kinda would believe that more than some of their other stuff.

More and more shunning going on?
by Snoozy inis it just me or does it seem like there are more posts about shunning than usual?.
i take it that between the ex jw's and the internet the jw's are having a hard time holding on to their people.
of course they don't want their people anywhere around someone that might wise them up to what the jw's are doing to them..striving to keep them as isolated as possible.. if that isn't a cult i don't know what is.. i feel so sad for family member that are going throught this and unable to be with their loved ones because of some idiot religion that seems to appeal to some ..it must fulfill some need in their life.

Ive discovered there is actually two levels of shunning.
Apparantly because im attending all meetings and marking the literature in all the appropriate places im considered not as shunned as an open apostate.( elder relative to one of my immediate family).
its ok for family to talk with me.
Has anyone else experienced this or heard of it.

PS tho never celebrated Christmas etc etc i feel this is the loneliest time i have ever experienced in my life.

New songbook, 2 years later
by WTWizard innow that it has been almost 2 years since they released that flop sing to jehovah, i wonder how much the singing has improved.
i remember hearing a lot about how the singing was horrible when the book was first released.
however, i wonder how many have figured out how to sing those songs.

Im not sure? it just was a nice song and we printed it out just the words to sing at my friends funeral. He was only 36 at the time and cancer took him. I had always been the sound servant an would have been happy to work with a sound chic!
