zid, i like that mascot idea! ohhhh, if someone would make an actual sparlock doll, i would buy em by the dozen and leave em behind in the KH, peoples cars, ect, muahahwhhahhahha! (evil laughter).

i did find a halloween x-mas tree (its all black, and messed up and creepy looking, bad ass! ) on amazon im seriously gonna buy and leave up till new years. first holiday season here i come!!! i suppose that lil tree can be my mascot for now.

cobalt! hi!!!! i checked out youre blog a couple days ago, good stuff!!

troubledmind-yeah TOTALLY! its really is absurd to think of grown adults terrified of conversation. funny how long it takes to gain perspective on that.

hey there everybody! im grumblecakes. ive been working on fading for some time but am just now saying 'aw what the hell' & allowing myself unrestricted google privileges (i feel like a kid in a candy store now). ill skip the story because im sure you guys have heard it all before/dont want to bore you, but in short, i have a great sense of humor, love 'its always sunny in philadelphia', soup, fight club, the muppets, beer, rebelliousness against a weird ass organization (even tho it really shouldnt be considered rebellious when youre a grown ass woman making your own decisions), and people with tremendous courage (you guys:D).

hoping to finally have someone to talk to about all the STUFF YOURE NOT EVER SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT, EVER!

anywhoozle, thats me, just sayin hi, very pleased to meet you all.

What happens if the lights go out during a meeting?

we all know of those kingdumb hells that don't have windows.

and i never saw an a$$embly hell that had windows that would let light in that would reach the auditorium.

so, what do they do if the lights go out during the middle of a boasting session?.

grumblecakes

the orgy begins.

no, seriously, nothing. they give it a few minutes to see if itll come back on, if not, everyone is dismissed.

happened a few times at my old cong due to storms.

Have you met anyone on the Governing Body?

i posted on another thread about a couple of my experiences of meeting the governing body while i was in brooklyn.

i wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences along these same lines.

i met most of the ones that were current during the 2001-2003 years.

i met guy pierce. he was CO at the time. i found him unsettling. he upset various people in the congregation by stating emphatically if ANYONE partook of the emblems who was not annointed, they would die...even if they are mentally ill, dont speak english and its their first time at the hall, or a small child ect. no exceptions.

he also took the hard line on 'would resurrected ones be able to marry', he said absolutly not. again, needlessly distressing widows in the cong.

Name Some Stupid Watchtower Rules or Ideas

by minimus in

there's a lot.. one rule that is dumb is that a brother must wear a suit for a sunday public talk that he is giving.

any other time, the brother could wear a suit coat with a different pair of pants and not be counseled for it.. another dumb idea is that you cannot date a person unless you seriously might marry them.

if you're on a date, you were supposed to always have a chaperone and holding hands might not be allowed as well as sitting together.. what other dumb rules and ideas can you add?.

grumblecakes

also, i kinda want to do everything in this thread now just because...

and then cram it all in to one jc, like a really twisted bucket list.

i hate the way some make themselves the language police and will jump all over you if you use a word like "luck, fortunate, darn, dang, or any subtitute for a swear word"...

i was once chastised for saying "bulletin board" because once long ago in the wild wild west, people fixed notices to boards by shooting a gun at them (awesome!)

re: 'the 101 things you cant do'...good video

...just...

no matter how far away i get from jdubs, i still hate it when people say "jehovah witness" ahhh, how can they not hear the awful grammer?! It would be like saying "jerry kids".
