ROFLMAO; thanks for sharing.

I think all the forum members who have 'served' at bethel should get together and publish a book of your experiences. It would be a best seller!

Prof Bunsen / G Jackson?? See the similarities? It's the Muppet Show!

by stuckinarut2 in

perhaps someone can assist here?.

while watching the may 2017 broadcast, it struck us how similar g jackson looks (while sitting and wearing his waist coat) to the muppets character prof bunsen!!!!.

perhaps someone with better computer skills can upload the pics side by side?.

How do you feel you have progressed ?

by stuckinarut2 in

in the months or years since leaving the organization, how do you think you have progressed as a person?.

(or if you have regressed too i guess?).

what aspects of personal development are you happy with?.

For years my genuine personality had been suppressed. I was always on edge having feelings of frustration - you couldn't do this, that or the other. It was literally doing my head in to such an extent that, at age 21, I was hospitalised with 'anxiety tension state disorder!'

After many years of battling, the 'real me' has now come to the fore.

Today, what you see is what you get, and I like to think it is good.

traditional English words and phrases.

something i found on facebook..... a bit of interesting history reading .... enjoy ...they used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "piss poor".

but worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.

the next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Very interesting to learn the origin of these idioms. Thanks for sharing.

Has Your JW Background Benefited You In Any Way?

i would like to think there was some good that resulted from our being a witness at one time..

For me, the theocratic ministry school (TMS) played a huge part in my overcoming a speech impediment - I stuttered / stammered. As part of my job description / role I am expected to give presentations at management meetings therefore the skills I learnt at the TMS has helped me considerably.
