by truthseeker in
1. jw
2. friends
for those of you that have seen recent documentarys (i can't remember the program names), there seems to be a few finds of importance regarding man's earliest ancestors.. .

one documentary i watched was about the discovery of an unusual skeleton, they suggested it was a bipedal - it walked on two legs.

but, the jaw and other parts of the skeleton were not completely human like.. .

Were you a JW trophy wife? Not necessarily a serious thread.
by FlyingHighNow in
1. social
2. relationships
sal, it's funny but things were much more shallow in the dubs.

i noticed some of the ugliest blokes getting pretty little trophy wives so long as they had a job or were the sons of elders.

my dad (an elder) even went so far as to encourage me to come back to the dubs because i would easily pull a good looking wife .

Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!
by JT in

yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

South East England - love of the greater number cooling off
by truthseeker in
1. jw
2. friends
hi everyone, in the congregation i grew up in, it was very cold and unloving.

circuit overseers would come and go, they would give counsel and nothing changed.

at one time even the do came at the same time as the co and gave counsel to 'widen out'.

between 1970-1999, i remember different "resolutions" being read and adopted (by applause) at the distict conventions.. i can't remember any of them or even what they were about, or anything about them.. does anyone know anything about these resolutions, or if the wts still reads these at the conventions any more?.

if anyone has these, could they post them please?.

hugs,.

WoMD ... so where are they?
by Simon in
1. social
2. current
now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

Looking for Sarah-Kate (S'kate) Burgess
by arachnia in
1. jw
2. experiences
i've been searching for sarah-kate burgess, of southampton, uk since losing touch with her in 1996. she was an au pair here in the states for a year and during that time we became best friends.

after she returned home, i visited her twice, once in 1993, and once in 1996. during the last visit, i was in the midst of exiting the jw's and my marraige.

she knew about the marraige coming to an end and was supportive, but suspected the other and dropped subtle hints that she knew what i was planning to do.

BEAT that Child!
by Farkel in
1. jw
2. friends
this is sort of a continuation of threads on dubs and how they are conditioned to discipline their children.

someone questioned whether the society actually encouraged dubs to whup their children.

i only had enough time to dig up a few salient quotes from the wt magazine.

warning !.

the following "dictionary" may be very discomforting to true believers of jehovah's organization.

if you ask too many questions about these things you are told " jehovah will make it all clear in time.
