Love that tenacious... it reminds me of a poster on here several years (name of little toe) ago who gave a talk and made the whole thing point to Jesus. At the end he handed in his resignation (from the platform). It has been recorded for posterity. It's well worth finding and listening to if you can!

Very Weird Experience During Recent Special Talk After Memorial
by Tenacious inhesitantly i attended this talk with my family and sat through it without batting an eye.. mentally i take myself out during the entire meeting some would describe this as daydreaming or zoning out.
whatever the case may be, for some reason this particular speaker, whom i know of but not personally, got my attention the way he would say certain phrases.
he cited some texts that directly advised the audience that faith in christ was the only way to salvation.

Are You Raising An Introvert?
by darth frosty inits not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.
it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.
this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

darth frosty, I love this thread, thanks for starting it! I find my introversion is getting worse the older I get. It's very hard being an introvert, especially in Jdub land when everyone wants you to do extrovert stuff (like knock on strangers doors and going to assemblies). It's so refreshing not to have to do all those things now, that go against my natural personality. Everything you've posted on here I can relate to. Wonder how many on this board are introverts? I reckon the percentage could be quite high.
Anyway.. great thread!!

Seems to me like they all want to say what they REALLY think... it's horrid, it's ugly, can't believe anybody designed this, it looks like a factory, it looks like a warehouse'.... but they're all afraid to say it. Anyone who dares say it, covers it with a 'oh but I'm sure it'll look lovely when it's finished, jehovah's behind it all so let's support the organisation'. At least one had enough guts to stick the Walmart sign on... lol -

Alternative to JWs...
Not having to get up on a Sunday morning and sitting for two hours getting bored but rather, having a nice lie-in.
Not having to get up on a Saturday to knock on the doors of people I don't know or standing bored out of my mind next to a trolley, Rather going out for the day and having fun.
Not having to rush around like a headless chicken, making sure the dinner is ready on time and I'm ready for the midweek meeting and sitting for two hours getting bored again. Rather relaxing in front of the TV with a nice glass of wine.
Not having to go to endless assemblies. Rather I can have another fun weekend.
To sum up... what is the alternative to JWs? Having fun and enjoying life!!!

This week's resurrection video, will it backfire on the wt?
by prologos inthe resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!
--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.
a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.

I remember this being played at the DA.. a sister in our cong had found out the day before that a friend of hers had died, she was in bits when she saw this video. She spoke out quite vehemently against it. She's a died-hard jdub. -

I was a baby so can't remember this one but I remember others that were as long. Particularly the 1969 international. As a child I always remember them as an adventure but it must have been a nightmare for my parents with small children!
