  Those formula prayers. I want to scream

  by stillin in

  when the co is visiting, i think i hear "thank you , jehovah, for this special week of activity" until i want to vomit.. also "jehovah, please remember those sick and afflicted.

  we pray that they can make a recovery and be back with us.".

  stale, canned, institutionalized garble.

  I hated having to pray in front of the congregation and was never any good at it.

  What really got my back up were those prayers that went on and on. You'd think that the brother was giving a public talk!

  Thanks for posting folks.

  I only have two guitars; my Tanglewood TW1000 Heritage and a Classical guitar. I tried an electric guitar but struggled playing fast arpeggios, so now I stick to my trusty acoustic and all those fancy chords.

  not too sure how long it will be, but i think that i will not be in a position to look at this site.. i met some cool friends on here.

  i enjoyed having the speedy access to the private correspondence before the elders.

  thanks atlantis, and all those that have had a share in this.

  Lying In Wait At a Bed & Breakfast

  by Cold Steel in

  a few years ago while traveling in the northeast, my wife and i stopped in new haven, connecticut, at a b&b we'd reserved for the night.

  no sooner had we unpacked and moved into the living room for tea and treats, our hosts began to talk about religion, and we learned they were jehovah's witnesses.

  i didn't mind so much, but my wife was outraged that our hosts would use their place of business as a launching point to do missionary work.

  Interesting experience and thanks for sharing.

  As you were paying guests, they should have respected your and your wife's stance on the matter.

  IMO; not a good advertisement for their business.

  How are you with your temper?

  let's be honest everyone has their limits, their breaking point.

  personally i try to remain placid when provoked, but on occasion i can loose it.

  the last time i lost it was when chelsea came to watford and some chelsea supporters had some how got tickets and were sitting in the home end.

  I've never been one to totally lose it. Sure, at times I get 'p***** off' like most folk do, and have raised my voice on a number of occasions however, I've never went as far as physical violence when angry.

  I feel sorry for the people attending these conventions. If only they knew what was really going on. They've been duped, just as we once were.
