  What's the deal with Cheese and Apple Danishes at conventions.

  by pistolpete in

  this was before my time, but there was this post that had 308 comments testifying that the best thing of being a jehovah witness back in the day was the convention's meals.

  is this true?.

  My impression is local cheap or free food made it onto the menu. Different areas seem to have different memories.

  Dont forget the recycling bit. They still want my aluminum can and it is not to save the planet. Just like the one towel, and other skin flint things. Minimum number of handicap spaces which are filled by able bodied elders who either get in for their assignment or line up for the stampede. We are shuffled off to a lot with curbs a wheel chair cant go over.

  May as well mention the mind dset on bring your own. Huge white rolls, 1 slice of cheese and meat and a soda, just like the old days.

  To this day I wonder what the mystery meat was supposed to be. It would have worked to patch pioneer shoe soles.

  Radio has France stopping movement into Paris amd other places. Similar in Britain, Germany, Oz etc.

  I was just reading about the Irish troubles. The heavy hand won lots of enemies, but it has been only 100 years.

  Wiz I am afraid is right. Simon notes Trudeau is in decline, but who is ascending?

  We never see governments repealing laws. Mostly they just add and rewrite them as " common sense".

  Roman General Titus carried away treasures of the Holy Jerusalem Temple and the Vatican has stored them for centuries

  an article in the jerusalem post is quite interesting.https://www.jpost.com/jerusalem-report/article-696068.

  according to vatican expert dr. michael a. calvo, those vessels and others found their way to the vatican via another route, after making their way to byzantium: “these include temple candelabra given to pope innocent iii by baldwin i after the sacking of constantinople and the massacre of the christian orthodox population,” calvo claims.

  “temple shofars and utensils; garments of the high priest; the tzitz – a gold plaque with the words kodesh l’hashem (“holy to the lord”); cultural objects, and many other objets d’art, books and manuscripts that the vatican and other churches have appropriated and placed in their own storerooms, libraries, and museums.”.

  Ukraine and Armageddon

  by jhine in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and guess that the watchtower is having a wonderful time over the whole ukraine situation.

  is the whole " end of times " thing being pushed again to bring dissidents back into line .

  they must be seeing as a gift from above .

  The news in general makes this look like a rerun of ww2. Columns of tanks, infantry, Carpet bombing.

  Guess we better get our purple triangles ready.

  Reality; a distraction from the failed economy and incompetence of leaders. From pictures All bets off on meetings of Russian troops ( men and women) and US women paratroopers, and pregnancy flight suit crews. Not to mention restricted duty from appendage removal.

  I counted 27 times in a prayer if I kept track. it was so many I wonder if the speaker was pimo and making fun.

  The other irritant is the titles some insert: excellency, grand God, creator, eminence, most high--on and on at starting prayers.

  Very little ever said about the saviour jesus though

  The sloppy joes were the better food. I soent a night chasing flies off it once. And yes we did get food poisoning big time. Few things can top diarrhea while away from home and staying in a camper, not even in a motel.

  I used to puzzle over fried chicken, wearing a suit. Now I realize the food service was justanother money scam.

  My very fondest memory is driving a couple hundred miles, checking in, and having passionate sex. Something about the trip did it. Meeting my wife at the hall was one of the few good things to come from jwism.

  Watchtower online religion.

  by asp59 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  should we refer watchtower as to a online religion now?

  i mean we could discuss if they ever return to kingdom hall's in the future.

  if most of them haven't been sold.

  Can you give country, city? We know some can't be too specific. Old hall or one that should be replaced anyway?

  Spencer Larson JW singer - Psycho Chick

  by neat blue dog in

  here's another singer who's done a bunch of jw broadcasting original songs, and you'll probably recognize his face from the wt chorus (his voice is very recognizable i.e.

  he sings through his nose terribly).

  anyways check out this extremely cringe song of his, psycho chick:.

  Aside from being wrong age group to like whatever genre that is, the lyrics seem to be from the same writer as the " new original songs".

  He ought to stick with preschooler songs.
