  does anyone else find when using the ipad mini they can't get all of the emoticons?

  i can only see the last column with the umbrella.

  i used to be able to get all of them when the site first changed.

  Elder Using Innuendos at Every Single Opportunity

  by Tempest in a Teacup in

  there's this elder in my hall.

  in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.

  he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.

  Isn't it strange that when it suits them they can let slip all sorts of personal insider details that they really shouldn't be talking about, that were probably told to them in confidence and people could probably be recognised from if given a little thought.

  Ask them to warn the congregation of the presence of a paedophile so that children can be protected and all of a sudden they cannot breach confidentiality.

  Gifts from my old hall..

  by Garrett in

  hey guys,.

  so, it seems the hall i used to attend before my latest one got to hearing that i "disappeared".

  so today, i went to the post office to pick up a package.... i decided to try to face reality and open it... what i found were multiple letters and wrapped gifts.

  Sorry I know this is rough Garrett. When you think about it this is so weird. If you moved away from a small town and you received a box of letters and gifts from everyone you would think how strange. How did they all get together to write to me? This is just so organised isn't it?

  So what is the motive here. Why have they organised this? It's a cult love-bombing strategy possibly motivated by a CO visit guilt fest. Well done not falling for it but I do sympathise, it is hard when they used to be your friends. They are lost I'm afraid, it's very sad.

  i was thinking that we could spend the memorial evening doing the exact opposite of what we used to do.. smile and laugh.

  have fun.

  Drink a large glass of red wine rather than watch it sailing by. Talk to someone who really cares about you. Invite some people around to eat your favourite meal. Greater love hath no woman than this, than to lay fork and knife on behalf of her friends.

  Memorial Date this year, why so far out ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have debated for many a long year on jwn about the "proper" date for the passover/memorial and my conclusion is that jw's get it all wrong for a number of reasons, but as the gospels are contradictory, nobody can say for sure.. most years they are close to the time by a day or so, signalled by the full moon occurring about then.. i believe this year they have chosen saturday april 11th.. this is a full week, near enough, away from the full moon.. what has gone on with their calculation ?.

  I'm told they don't go on about the six inch nails anymore. Or the fact that Jesus slowly asphyxiated. How they normally broke victim's legs to speed up the process but he was already dead. It was all horror and agony when I used to go. The talk was horrible too.
