  I am almost jealous of David's conquests; the animal side of myself. The other has sympathy for his victims, especially Abishag.

  Since Rutherford has any of the biggies scored? I gather a couple got their boys

  i would be very curious to know what standard of living they have .

  and what type of housing each member has and what type of accomadation do they have and even what type of areas they are living in .

  unlike many of the rank & file members who live in housing estates provided for the low income earners and pensioners ?

  The experience abiut the dictor who went with his family showed him living in a brownstone. He did have children and a special skill ( education).

  Years ago I remember people mentioning Knorr living in the " holy of holies". I cannot imagine the upper echelon living in regular rooms. Wasn't there a post about one of them having a fit over the view of their lake?

  by krismalone in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the governing body has lovingly provided instructions and reminders to couples that they should pray before having sex.

  please be obedient and follow the wise counsel from the gb leaders who never stick their noses into other peoples business and are not creepy cult leaders at all....not!.

  "had he not created the first human pair so that they could cohabit, planted in them an attraction for each other and then commanded them to "be fruitful and become many"?

  True. My marriage is a support system both ways. But sex did indeed have a part in our desires and was a VERY enjoyable part of it. But 15 to 30 minutes once or twice a day, and later less frequent is not alk there is.

  For any singles here ask yourself if the mate married someone else would you still wish her/ him well? That helps to see a bigger picture

  Did You Know Any "Genuine"" Old School Anointed?

  by Number 6 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  growing up in scotland in the 1970s in scotland the anointed were few and far between, but we had one old dude in our cong who claimed to be one of the anointed.

  in the days when it was taken seriously.. i'd be curious how you viewed them.

  thing is, he wasn't an elder, or even a ministerial servant, just a plain old publisher.. but he was revered like he had a hotline to jesus.. the other week i was talking to a friend of similar age to me but who hung around the wt a lot longer than i did, and he just commented "oh him... he was a doddery old fool who used to just sit and piss himself.

  I knew some. Way different than any now, sincere in their belief AND humility.

  Late comers were pompous asses, got together with other "annointed" to talk about their hope and insight in unauthorized meetings. Some actively recruited others for heaven. Every one questioned their sanity. One stated that if they partook unworthily they would just fall back to earthly class; so i guess we all should have a drink and cracker. LOL

  Department Store Santa Claus - Do They Still Exist?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember when stores would advertise that santa claus would be there from 2-4 pm on a saturday or something for several weeks before christmas.

  you would see them everywhere.. do they still exist in your area?.

  maybe parents finally realized that having a drunk guy with a white beard getting his jollies off with young children on his lap was not a good idea.. just my thoughts.

  JW views on saving and retirement

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  probably one of the most common causes of cognitive dissonance many jws face is the choice to plan for retirement.

  if you're a good jw, then you should believe that the end will be coming soon, surely before you retire.

  that's what i did when i was younger, blowing decades that could've been better spent because i believed the end was coming, so any planning was a waste of time.

  That money you would never see would just be thrown in the street, so who cares.

  Brought to you by the same ones who downsize from a mansion to luxury apartment and sell their " small" business.

  the jehovah's witnesses announced plans to build a 1.5 million-square-foot audio-visual production center in upstate new york, two miles away from the witnesses' headquarters in warwick.

  Demand? We don't tell elders our true thoughts, elders dont tell the CO , i assume the CO tells his boss what he wants to hear.

  There are few if any of the elite couch surfing like I remember in the 50s and 60s. I think they really think the average jw lives in a mansion

  Getting locked into the education taboo means low paying jobs. Even without pioneering.
