Do you know your neighbors? Is it just me?
by neverendingjourney ini'm a single hispanic guy in my mid 30s living by myself in suburban america.
i own a home in the kind of neighborhood where you have to get hoa permission to do just about anything, including chopping down a tree.
i'm a white collar worker and lead a pretty boring life.

Would you be able to print up some leaflets and go knock on your neighbors door, inviting them to your place for a front yard "Neighborhood Appreciation BBQ"???
(The idea being you appreciate their quiet and mannerly behavior, and you are so thankful, NOT to have nosy neighbors (lol) that you would like to throw a little party. You will be supplying the hot dogs and buns and if they would like to bring along some salads, potato chip and or dessert, that would be great!
Ask if they could bring along some extra patio chairs to sit on. If you don't have a BBQ, ask your neighbor (who you know has one) if he wouldn't mind rolling his BBQ over and manning the grill.
Have the kids blow up some balloons and tie them off with string and use them to "decorate" your yard (backs of chairs) before the regular (older) guests come. Kids will love it.
If one of the ladies has flowers in her yard, admire them and ask if she wouldn't mind cutting some for a bouquet for the table.
If people ask what should they bring, tell them to bring what makes them happy.
Hopefully all the neighbors will get to know each other better and will have a good time and thank you for the great party.
Have a few games ready. Croquet. You could have a list of games on your invite sheet . As in: Does anyone have a croquet set they could bring? Hoola hoops? Checkerboard? Or???
I can make up games at the drop of a hat. PM me if you need any long distance assistance.
Sometimes, half the fun of a party is the excitement of anticipation. lol I am already thinking of all the fun and all the new people you will meet.

In a newspaper article from 2 years ago, 12 June 2012, this thing, (he doesn't even deserve a capital t, in my name for him) when asked if he had molested this girl his plea was, "I am absolutely not guilty".
That statement would put him in a cozy position at ANY JW.org congregation in the world.
Disgusting old thing.
Disgusting religion for putting up with this filth.

Do you intend to die?
by new hope and happiness inas far as i know, all of us are going to die.
our hope, our stories, and the fantazy of " good people" telling tales of heaven, or a new system, or future reassembling of our consciousness is not likely?
do you still cling to it?.

I find life now, ultra precious. When I was a JW.org drone, I lived for WT. All decisions, thoughts were for not hurting Jehovah. Not making Jehovah sad . I wanted, needed to live in paradise. Badly. Being married to someone that is 100% wrong for you, is a death sentence.
In a way, married to someone I did not love and having to move so far inland, from friends and familiar places, when I got married, I died that day.
Now, my intention is to live. When my battery of life wears out, and I do die, I won't know it. I will just be gone.

I got asked THE QUESTION !!
by Tech49 ina little experience that happened very recently:.
another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.
they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.

His title is Elder. But what he really is, is a walking, talking non-thinking non-blinking 100% plastic JW.org DRONE.

TAKE IT EASY!! DON'T SAY THAT AFTER A CONVERSATION!
by NoMoreHustle inthis drives me insane when i am rebutted after i say "well take it easy brother so & so" after a small conversation.
they always seem to reply "we are in jehovah's organization there is no taking it easy" or "we are in the last days brother we don't have time to take it easy".
i guess this makes me a care-free man of the world rather than a spiritual man!!

Hello NoMoreHustle, I don't know what part of the world you are from, but personally, I have never heard that rebuttal expression before. I agree with you. lol It would drive me crazy too.
In Southern California, beach area, a common expression (used to be?) in parting to religious people or normal people, "Don't work too hard". lol The response to that was to smile, wave and so, "Okay. I'll try not to". It was harmless banter among friends.
It was also an accepted expression when parting to say, "Have fun". This covered whatever you are doing. lol
Those expressions had never been heard in the immigrant, farming community area I had the privilege of moving to, after I said at the Kingdumb Hall, "I do"...

A JW encounter in Hong Kong
by Listener inlast week i was in hong kong on a holiday and ran into some jws.
i was in a large shopping mall and noticed a number of jws holding out a pamphlet to passerbys.
before i knew it there was one walking towards me and stopped right in front of me stopping me from moving forward.. the jw was virtually shoving the pamphlet towards me and said i would like to offer you this pamphlet that directs you to a web site that will answer all your questions that you have about life.

6 branches subsidize the rest of the branches.
by hoser ini went to the meeting this morning and we had some guy from overseas bethel give the public talk.
6 countries subsidize the rest.
he said in some countries all the donations that they get from contributions don't even pay the electricity bill for the branch buildings so money has to come in from these 6 richer countries.

Hoser ... Was this a begging for money talk, green handshakes, welcomed??? lol
lol Just because someone says something... Back it up with facts, Bethel speaker guy... Show us the accounts. or or is he too embarrassed because he knows JW.org is a billion dollar enterprise.
