Smoking

i heard that the witnesses used to smoke back in the day.

is this true?

if so, what was the reasoning behind this?.
LoisLane looking for Superman

My mom smoked cigarettes and my dad smoked cigars even after they were baptized.

When I was a little girl, my mom would write a note to the store owner giving me permission to buy her cigarettes. ??? lol She would tell me which brand she wanted (Camel's or Lucky Strike. (Whichever was the more fashionable advertised brand of the moment) She would send me off alone to walk the 3 blocks to the Boulevard, where the store was. I remember doing it when I was 4 years old!

I remember one party my parents had. Only JW's. The ash tray's overflowed and some careless ones left burnt marks in our wood living room furniture. The booze... There was a lot of it. One sister was too drunk to go home, so spent the night. This was about 1955.

PS My mom was trying for a cleaner image, so it could be that that party was the last time she and dad smoked OR had that much free booze at a party.

Scary21... And no matter how many decades you keep paying, you cannot sell and benefit from these decades of paying, because you do not own it.

And to think I used to be brain dead, too.

Gingerbread... All those clapping.

Did they think they no longer had to contribute?

Did they really think "Mother Watch Tower" would give any of her children, something for free???

Or was it just the emotional orgasmic way the Bro reading the letter, said it, giving everyone a Religious High?

Clapclapclapclapclap ...

How embarrassing.

I used to clap like a zombie too.

I was a door-to-door magazine salesman...but I didnt know it!

both jws and former jws dont seem to remember that up until 1990, jws sold magazines, books, and brochures from door to door.

you went to either the magazine or the literature counter and bought publications that you were going to sell.

pioneers would get a slight discount.
LoisLane looking for Superman

Now that I am no longer a WT drone, I feel so stupid for believing everything I was told.

This is the true religion because we tell you it is. No questioning allowed!

Millions now living, will never die! ??? What fool would believe that????

You are NOT selling WT literature. You are "placing" it. Okay.

LoisLane who was a "publisher" ? ?? since she was 7 years old.

PS I am glad I placed a lot of magazines as a little girl because the 10 cents we received from placing the magazines was our allowance.

What a great incentive for children to go out, smile and push those mags!

Publisher. What a silly name to call your recruitment force.

Watch Tower recruiters doesn't sound very religious or nice. Publisher doesn't sound very religious or nice either.

I have never read this before.

It is so sickening to find out the real truth of a matter.

We were all conned by a lying snake oil salesman.

Hi there.

Pretty well all of us are harmless.

Everyone involved with WT has been lied to and abused.

We are here to help each other, to help move all of us forward, in a good and caring way.

No one gets left behind.

I like the worldwide brotherhood aspect of JWN.

I live in the North Pacific.

Feel free to jump aboard at any time.

We will catch you. We won't let you fall.

I look forward to welcoming you, when you decide the time is right.

Until then, take care.

in our letter dated february 19, 2014, to all congregations in the united states branch ter- ritory, you were informed of a special weekend program to be held on saturday, november 8, 2014, and sunday, november 9, 2014. this program is in connection with the branch visit scheduled for the united states and will be broadcast to locations throughout the branch territory.

we are pleased to inform you of some of these arrangements.. since the goal is to allow as many as possible the opportunity to benefit from this branch visit program, provision will be made to allow any kingdom hall properly equipped to receive the broadcast.

"Headquarter's" will not rock the boat too much, until they have got all the pledges back from congo's telling how much they will "donate" each month.

I do not think they will really start rocking the boat until they have unpacked their bags in Warwick.

I am waiting with anticipation NOT, for the Big Surprising New Lite the GB comes up with after they have gotten their new home by the lake, built, furnished and landscaped and have settled in.

This is just May 2014. They will be moving into their new home, the Fall of 2016.

1918 was a "biggie" year, so was 1919.

What will the GB Monster pull out of its rear end for " nu -lite" in 2018 and 2019???

I agree that change is in the air along the lines of re-branding.

The Watchtower and Awake must be totally embarrassing for drones to keep flogging at people's doors.

An internet based ministry??? Hahaha Wouldn't it be funny if they tell the sheeples that it is too dangerous to go d2d in this old system???

Better to set up rolly carts in well lighted areas. lol (What is the price??? Two for $80.00??? ) lol lol
