Went to an RV one morning and as i was standing there, the peoples dog is running around like crazy because it is so excited and as it jumps on the porch it hurt its leg and started yelping in pain really loud. The lady opens the door and screams at me "you kicked my dog!", then the husband is running down the stairs of the second story with a closed fist and i am thinking "oh shit i'm gonna get knocked out right on the front porch." He comes running to the door but held back from knocking me out. Then proceeded to follow us to the car saying he is calling the cops. Never went back to that one.

Last nights CLAM meeting
by dbq407 inso hadn't been to a clam meeting in quite a few months, but went last night.
so we learned that gog of magog is not satan as previously believed.
they used a few scriptures that made it clear that it couldn't be satan and that it would be a coalition of nations.

Yes i felt bad for the children in the audience, being told that they basically have to be baptized to be able to be saved and also the bunker video must be scary for them to watch.
Its hard for me not to laugh at the video because it is just so corny. Not sure why the gb feel its ok to scare people like that in made up situations.

So hadn't been to a CLAM meeting in quite a few months, but went last night. So we learned that gog of magog is not Satan as previously believed. They used a few scriptures that made it clear that it couldn't be Satan and that it would be a coalition of nations. I was a little confused that if these scriptures were so clear then how'd they screw that up in the first place.
Then we watched a bunker video and had a discussion. The conductor called the police storming into the room "storm troopers" as did a few people who commented. I was a little confused by this also. Is that a common thing they are called in other halls? All i could think of was Star Wars.
Also had another talk on the 3 things needed to survive into the new world.........1. need to preach. 2. need to be baptized. 3. need to be at meetings. All of these were stressed as things that needed to be done in order to be saved.
After meeting overheard someone saying how good the bunker video was and how much it scared her and how real it was. So obviously the scare tactics are working on some like the WT intended.
What'd you gather from the CLAM?

Is the End right around the corner or what???
by Lynnie ininteresting observations i've noticed when visiting my uber elder cousin and his wife.
he just inherited a lovely home on the water on puget sound from his non jw dad who passed away earlier this year.
so they have spent many $$$ and months remodeling this house to their standards which are quite expensive tastes.

Jesus would not be recommended by the elders since he was technically inactive for not turning in his time, ha.
This weekend i overheard a conversation from a couple on the LDC and they can't count their hours worked at k.h.'s but they get special consideration for the hours. Not sure what that meant.

Orangeburg Assembly Hall - designed to be sold as a future supermarket?
by cedars ini've just been watching a youtube video that reveals the new assembly hall in orangeburg, sc.. two things struck me when watching it.... firstly, everything is attributed to jehovah, right down to deciding the location where the hall is to be built.
"we examined over 300 properties," said one interviewee, "we were reminded that jehovah knew where the site was, we just had to keep looking and show him that we were persistent.
" other workers interviewed throughout the video attribute everything to god, as though it is impossible to build anything without divine direction.. here is the video.... .

My Reverse-Shunning Letter To My Mother
by pale.emperor ini mailed the below letter to my mother a few weeks ago.
i did share it on the ex-jw facebook group but thought i'd post it here.. basically, she's shunned me since day 1, has little or nothing to do with my 3yo daughter and told my sister "i hope <my daughter> becomes a jw when she's older so i can welcome her into the family".
well, that was the last straw for me..

Great letter, and i think she will read it all the way thru in the privacy of her home. She will feel bad for doing so, but curiosity will get the best of her no doubt.
