I don't quite understand since you were able to post this one ^^^^^.
After you post you have 30 minutes to edit or delete. Just use the little yellow pencil in your upper right window.

Thank you everybody. There were some gems in there. You guys made me laugh! Thanks for sharing the misery. lol
Jam in a Chinese restaurant and you were like alien's but your fellow JW's said, Oh what a great witness that was! lol
Aunt Fancy. I am glad you added to your waiters tips.
HowTheBibleWasCreated . That is funny a worldly lady saying hallelujah at the end of your Uncle's prayer. lol
I have only associated with JW's and many are way cheap.
SarahSmile ... No. I didn't bend in double with my face, skimming my soup. I think that looks unsightly. I held my head up... And obviously I had my eyes open, possibly (me??? lol ) looking around,
with my eyes, not moving my head or shoulders, that is why I noticed the waiter and maybe that is why he thought everything was normal and he could just start talking. It was so very funny.
All together for this grand occasion, there were 8 adults and 7 children, all to be covered by a $2.00 tip. lol

jws always touted wwis beginning in 1914 as evidence that the kingdom was born in heaven in that year.
i was told that since satan was cast out of heaven, he started stirring up trouble on earth - like wwi.
but theres one problem with that wwi started some months before oct 1914 (the month when the kingdom was supposedly born).. i asked jws about that in the mid 1980s, and i was told that satan started wwi before oct 1914 to divert attention away from the birth of the kingdom.
Which part of the JW religion, typed out by the Writing Dept., okay'd by the Legal Dept, and passed by the Governing Body, does make since ?

I started this thread because for some stupid reason my mind went back to 1985. We were at a restaurant. A brother we were with made a big deal that the meal was on him.
So, okay. There's a first time for everything.
We order.
His grandchildren had never seen shrimp before.
Someone from my side ordered the shrimp.
The food came.
Everyone was served.
The grand kids are gawking.
The Bro said, Let us pray.
All of his family held hands together.
LoisLane who does not pray like she is sticking her whole face into her soup bowl, notices the waiter is back, and is asking questions.
The waiter is oblivious to the bro praying. lol
It was hilarious.
The bro who is hosting, his wife is loud, very loud, and bossy, very bossy... and demanding.
After prayer, they had that waiter running for this and that.
AND when we finished, the brother who is paying, his wife made a big deal about leaving a tip.
She held up $2.00 and looked at her grandchildren as if to say, actually, I don't know what... lol
Zany words of wisdom she was trying to impart.
Sorry if you guys are not laughing like I am. Maybe you had to be there.
And yes, we did let them go ahead of us and either my ex or I went back and left an appropriate tip.

the waters are drying up!
a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.
that's less than $2 a publisher!
Daringhart13... I was a 100 hour pioneer. Now a days, if you make $25.00 an hour X's 100 hours per month, that means you are handing over $2,500 of your life X's 12 months = $30,000.00 each year of your precious life to WT for FREE! Plus the use and wear and tear of your car, for what?
A man made up religion that is all about obeying Governing Body.
It is really too horrible and cruel to even contemplate.
But it is the truth.
Governing Body uses good people to feed their wants, desires and their lives.
Everyone else can go to hell as far as they are concerned.
GB aren't even Christian.

hey all,.
i had two elders just "drop in" yesterday...walked around the back of my house and all....rude....i happened to be home, and opened the door.... one is doing spring cleaning at his house, and so in general chit chat, they spoke of how we all dont need to keep the bound volumes or older mags anymore, as everything we need is on the website or cd rom.... i just casually said, "yes, but its nice to have the originals so we can see the original wording and info".
one of them snapped his neck spinning so quick, frothed at the mouth and said "what do you mean changes?...nothing changes!!".
These guys are sharks, working for the GB getting rid of all the evidence.
I moved and had no room and threw out well over 50 years worth of so called theocratic "enlightenment". lol
I am so thankful for those who have kept all the old now "WT apostasy" changes.
I do not recognize this new JW.org religion at all.
The last time I checked the 2,000 year old Holy Bible hadn't changed...
But Watch Tower changes all of the time.
If that is not a warning to get the heck outta town, I don't know what is.

PS What snoopy Elders you have.
talking with a long time elder last night, was very revealing.
he has been a jw for over 60 years, a man that was incarcerated in cuba in his early 20s and faced great loss and suffering over his beliefs and for being born in a communist country.
this brave man is now brittle and low-spirited.. while nightfalls on his life, he is made aware the end is near.
Heaven, I am sorry your dear Dad has dementia.
I hope your dad still has friends and gets company.
Whether a person has dementia or not, as you say, once one stops the hectic paced JW life, no matter what their past decades performance was, they are now yesterday's toast.
Normal, outside people would not understand why an older aged JW person would think they would not die?
Normal people know from an early age, that all living things end.
I came to that wake up moment of clarity at age 62.
Sounds silly, but true.
(((Hugs))) to your dear Dad from me.

.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.
instead of preaching and saving people??.
ADCMS... If you notice, in your video for 2015, he dances, alone.
In Detroit they have dancing couples.
The girls even do a downward shimey in front of their guy.
