I'm Writing To The Society.....Groan....!!!

by Englishman in

if ever there was a phrase that irritated a po, then that was surely the one.

people who told the po that they were writing to the society were trying to make a point that they were not happy with the way that the congregation was being run.

hey mr. po, sort this out or else i grass on you being the thinly veiled threat.

I'm sure they have a 4" thick dossier on my letters to them. Sometimes I would get a reasonable response, sometimes a stupid response, sometimes a CC would go to the BOE. THAT always pissed me off NO END!!! I eventually stopped. An old DESPAIR magazine (R. Crumb) had a drawing of a husband and wife on the cover. One was saying, "Why don't you see what's on TV." The depressive response was, "Aw, what's the use." The wording is as best as I can remember, because I GOT RID of all my DESPAIRs, ZAPs, etc, to BECOME A JW!!! Just think: R. Crumb bought a villa in France by trading a few of his original notebooks for it. Regret, regret, regret. What's the use of writing, talking, listening to boring outlines, SPEAKING from boring outlines, etc, etc. Being a JW was DESPAIR itself. Now I feel better.

I just ordered some maps from my AAA Houston number 1-800-222-4357. If I'm not mistaken, I think the music on hold was a Kingdom Melody; don't remember the name. Anyone else care to try the number (It might be good just in Texas)? If it IS a Kingdom Melody, we could have some fun discussing WHY.

Thank you for that fine link, Francois. I think back on all the years I accepted the WT assertion that "we're not fundamentalists."

If November 1963 was an inside job why not 9/11? When it comes to world politics, seems anything goes.
