removed like the gong show.
i lost count somewhere after the 3rd time.
on a t school nite about 6 pm i stopped by the s/oversneers house... he had the instruction talk, i had the bible highlights and a service meeting part, we shot a few baskets and drank couple of glasses of.
Lol... Are you drinking right now??? lol
Lol Removed like The Gong Show. lol
I have never seen anyone drunk at the KHall, though it would have been fun to watch, and there were some secret alcoholics in the congo .
What is a pee/on??? thing ??? lol
----->>> Gonged about 8 or 9 times? At the KHall ? I don't quite understand what you mean. I am sure you do not mean you were drunk at
the Hall that many times, because you would have gotten Df'ed.
Do you mean you went on stage with your fly opened, or had one black shoe on and one brown shoe on, or you went to the platform to give a talk and you had your bedroom slippers on??? Or you gave the wrong week's Bible reading? (All those things happened to my ex). lol

my daughter will be getting married this coming august.
she and her future husband are not jehovah's witnesses.
they will have a non-religious wedding ceremony.
What about being creative and encourage this fellow to come, but dressed like someone else? lol
Pick a character, get some make up on, hair different, clothes different and go and have FUN???
----> With a beard he could be a Mennonite, or dress as a Catholic priest with a cross in front lol, or really have fun and dress like a movie star and pay a few people ahead of time, that when you "walk in" they flock to you and ask for your autograph. lol
Oh... I have lived such a suppressed life!

Co Co, You are a private person. We do not know who you are. So can you tell us "some" of the names of the people ^^^^^ ? ??
I am so curious who the famous movie director was.
At the Smother's Brother's, were you only able to talk to the intercom at the gate?
I didn't mind talking to intercom's at the door or at a gate. The territory and the homes were usually beautiful.

Once, I worked in a territory where Pat Boone and family lived. (Who had a big hit in 1957 called "April Love". His daughter Debby was later known for her song, "You Light Up My Life"). At every door that answered, it was answered by a maid, dressed in a maid costume. Some of the maids took literature, most said, the lady of the house was not home, come back at another time please.

PS Weird to see a fun "resurrected" topic. lol
one of my favorite memories growing up was to visit my maternal grandmother in san bernardino california and have sunday fried chicken dinners.
i can still remember the smells of her peppery chicken frying in the kitchen and sitting down on their enclosed patio to a meal of mashed potatoes, peas and that best of all her fried chicken.. my grandmother was a special person, loving and generous, one of the early bible students in california.
before my time her home was known for helping the poor during the great depression.. i don't remember the recipe for her delicious chicken, maybe my mother knew and tried to copy it.
My Grandma who lived a mile away didn't cook us fried chicken. She had an apricot tree. Lucious tree ripened apricots. She also grew boysenberries. Umm Warm Boysenberry pie with vanilla ice cream. That was something we would stop at The Clock Restaurant on the way to Palm Springs, to eat.
We had a lemon tree. Bill Scott if you are out there, thank you for picking the lemons at the top of our tree for us. Mom, or me used to always make fresh Lemon Merinigue pie. One time when I was a child of about 6, I had brand new leather shoes on. I was helping to carry plates with fresh lemon merinigue pie to the dining table, and I tripped, and the slice of pie went right on top of my new shoe. Everyone said that was my piece, lol so since they were brand new shoes, I ate some of my piece of pie off of my new shoe and then my mom cleaned my shoe, so my shoes wern't wrecked.
I went on a picnic with a Brother named Ron. I was to bring the food, as he was busy working on his office. I remember I brought fried chicken and a lemon merinigue pie I had made. When it came time to have a slice of pie, I had forgotten to bring a knife, so we used one of his tools, a hack saw to cut the pie. lol I wonder where you are now Ron, and if you ever think of all the laughter, that day.
I haven't made fried chicken, in ages.
Designs, did you ever go to Knott's Berry Farm for their fried chicken dinners? I went with a group decades ago, after a brother with the first name of Rob, gave his first public 1 hour talk. The food was delicious then. I was there a few years ago, and it was a disappointment.
Did anyone from Los Angeles ever go to Dinah's Restaurant, I think on Sepulvada in Culver City? They were famous for their fried chicken dinners.

jehovah's help break free.. "greedy people".
but the desire to have more money, power and.
helped student.
Thank you for all of this. ^^^^^ It is giving me a bit of a headache.
If I was in Hitler's Germany, I would be commanded to listen to this.
But I live in Freedom. I don't have to any more.
I honestly thought they were going to quit talking about Gays. When WT/GB/Writing Dept/Legal Dept. does talk about homosexuals, it just shows how narrow minded and backward they are.
---->> "Those Who Are Poor"... It says we should be like beggars. BINGO Headquarter's are acting exactly that way. They keep begging for more of the sheeples MONEY.
LL (not Bean)
the article addressed luke 20:34-36 and now they finally admit jesus could have been referring to the heavenly resurrection.
they said "put simply, the answer is that we cannot say" which is surprising because they have something to say about everything.
perhaps all the old people who are waiting the new world as widow and widowers want to know if they have a chance to be reunited with their dead loved one.
Guys - guys - guys ...
Look for the "hook".
Why would GB/Legal be okay with this nu -lite, now???
What age group, is targeted here???
Who is sitting at the Kdumb Hall, obedient to the letter, mesmerized by all things WT?
JW widows, and widowers, that's who.
Whether they have a little or a lot, WT GB and Legal know all those sheeples will die, come on guys, it is what happens to human beings, no matter what the con men say.
So GB/Writing Dept/Legal Dept say let's give them a nice fantasy to dream on. They already think they are all going to be living on a paradise earth, young and beautiful and vivacious and and and their LOVED ONE will be there to marry them again!!! Oh Boys, we have got a winner, here! Why I can see those poor lonely widows and widowers reading this crap, with tears of this new "enlightenment" fall from their eyes. (WT GB/Writing Dept/Legal Dept ... with evil knowing laughter).
"Oh course!" they say, "Jehovah (The Israelite God of War YHWH)... ALWAYS provides for his people."
What a wonderful provision.
What is REALLY behind this is getting the older ones warmer up to this " nu " idea? Their death beds await along with creepy, smiling Elder's instructed from Headquarter's to get those breathing bodies to sign over everything to JW.org, before their last dying breath.
Greedy sons of ...
Really? You are telling me God just happened to be flying around and now he decides to "tell" Headquarters some nu -lite scripture that would make old lonely people happy and JW.org will just happen to benefit with millions, possibly a billion dollars, more? Follow the money. WT is all about the money. Cha- ching .

Jam, You are funny.
The info above ^^^^^ is just another "apparently" "possibly" flip flop, flop flip opinion of some very opinionated men in New York. Period.
Wait a few years. Nothing in JW.org land is written in stone.
But I am curious why are they doing this latest speculation?
Are they doing it to intice a carrot of longing for departed loved ones?
Are they lining up more lonely widows and widowers to stay, mesmerizing them with this nu-lite message which cannot be proven, but the lonely souls keep going, ever faithful, finally with death near, they are easy pickings for the Elder's to swoop in and have them sign on their DEATH BED all of their saleable property and valuables over to JW.org???
In my 62 years in, flip flop flop flip , nu -lite, old lite, nu -lite, wow! The GB or Legal dept. behind them have devious minds. Who next to mark as easy pickin's ?
WT reasoning, Why not give those without hope, hope? Can't hurt and they will be ever so grateful to us with this new understanding (2014 style).
Cha-ching, cha-ching... Oh, we do love the sound of mo -n-e-e!
We have lot -s-s, but we want more,
So let's tell'em they can be married to their dead loved ones, again.
Cha- ching ...
Writing Dept... Masterful.
Legal Dept. ... Print it!
GB... Giggling like little girls, thinking what power we have, thinking oh boy, more money, thinking oh what a great scam!
Cha- ching ...
