  When I was going to ASU they set up a table near the ROTC and GLBT groups... it's just their way of "going where the people are"

  The Brooklyn Protest-- Everyone read

  i spoke about 1/2 hour to shunned father on the phone last night, and he proclaims his innocence as regards to that beacon of truth post.

  he is very much appreciative of the offers of help he has received, so please everyone, dont back out on this historic event because of a post that seemed offensive.

  i will be disappointed if everyone were to pull out because of this.

  CURTAIL HURRICANE TALK AS IT'S NOT UPBUILDING

  by juni in

  2. friends

  another question for all of you.

  at local level elders encouraged members to not talk so much about the hurricanes and the hardships they have made for so many as this kind of talk is not upbuilding.

  people are only supposed to have enough knowledge about it so as to be able to lead into a presentation at the door.

  Were You Ever Drunk or High At A Meeting Or In Service?

  an elder in our hall used to drink his wine before evening meetings regularly, and on more than a few occasions was "buzzed" and laughing up on the platform while giving a talk.

  hmmm, I never understood this.

  If you were a JW, ermmm, why would you do a drug? How can drugs create a reality that emcompases anything more bizzare and surreal than anything I experienced as a dub? If you really want to wake up for the week, try to hear one of these elders try to talk for more than a minute on child abuse, 607 BC, the genital times, etc....

  the neurosurgeon called it glioblastoma.

  the radiologist affirmed it was glioblastoma.

  --glioblastoma is the brain cancer tumor that they diagnosed for my mother last friday from her mri results.

  KH meeting - boring!

  by jstalin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm not a jw but a friend of mine who is a jw invited me to the memorial service at the kh this year.

  i was raised catholic but now i'm agnostic/atheist.

  one thing that struck me was how horribly sterile and boring the memorial service was.

  What happens if someone does?

  If you partake, you would be viewed as A.) crazy B.) naive or C.) an evil instigator beset by lofty ambitions to bring down the organization of JW faithful. Generally the people who partake at a hall are people who have gone to a Kingdom Hall for some time and generally everyone that goes to a KH knows through hearsay who should partake. If someone partakes and its their first meeting a red flag would pop up and someone at the hall will ask you what you're doing there, and will want to confirm what congregation you're from so they can "make sure" they know you're going to heaven. I know, its laughable...

  JW Ladies: starved for love?

  by 144001 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, in another thread, a poster referred to incidents of "sisters" out in "field service" attempting to "hit" on the males they encountered at the doors.

  i have personally had this experience, and also noticed that the last time i visited a kingdom hall, the females in the hall were very, very flirty (including those who were married).

  it was as if i had entered a place inhabited soley by women who had been denied male companionship for years!
