A lunchtime spotting of JWs on their break from door-knocking...
by Jim_TX in

not that big of a deal, but it is kind of humorous.... my wife and i went to a local mcdonald's for lunch.

yes, i know all the bad things that are in their foods... but it's difficult to find lunch places that are 'healthy' and low-cost.. anyway, she went and sat down, and i ordered the food.

as i came round the corner with the tray filled with burger, fries and the cups for our sodas, i spotted a group of four women sitting at one of the tables.. folks... i just want to make one thing very clear.

Any born-ins have this attitude about converts?
by Nambo in

2. experiences
so there was this great gang of us, from south london, manchester and wolverhampton, went to socialise with a group in fishguard in wales.. amongst the conversations one of the single sisters stated, "i could never marry anybody who used to be in the world".. i guess a lifetime of knocking on doors had given her the impression there couldnt possibly be a convert in her midst, never mind later alone with her in her mgb.. so whats with this, did you think we had rat scabies or were possesed by demons or something?.

"Suggested" Donation when attending Circuit Assembly
by BluesBrother in
1. jw
2. friends
i could have called this "fee now charged to go to circuit assembly" but i do not want to start rumours that go beyond what was actually said.

the k hall announcement encouraged attendance at the upcoming assembly day.

the elder then said that since the congregation no longer has to make a blanket donation to the assembly hall it is expected that the publishers remember their responsibility to maintain the costs.

so, in the last two weeks, i have had 3 cousins drop me from fb and one childhood friend...all 4 of which we have had little association or face-to-face time in 30 years but at least we stayed in touch.

so, i am wondering if there was a new big push on facebook...i know they have from time to time but anything recent?

maybe the convention?.
