Your name caught my eye, I just finished reading Catcher in the Rye a few weeks ago, most people have read it before they finish college, but I finally got around to it, forty years after college age.

I got a Sympathy Card in the mail

by Butterfly607 in

i haven’t been to a meeting in months.

just got a sympathy card in the mail from a “sister”.

i don’t know her beyond her face.

LauraV

I think Carla had a good idea, send her a Christmas card. That will really give the sisters something to talk about as they sit five feet away from their cart and talk about the folks in the congregation.

PROVE IT!

that’s my attitude toward anyone making an assertion.

i’m sick of people saying such and such is true simply because we are saying it.

i would think that those here would agree because we all have been jehovah’s witnesses.

I've noticed that a few posters here get away with saying certain things that others cannot

My first real conversation with a person from JW

by Johnk24 in

it’s interesting how i have actually passed so many people who teach gods bible.

from jw.

today i met diane and alesha, in manchester on my lunch hour, we talked for a good while about a number of topics and i was interested to know more.. i have no idea if i will ever meet them again, i showed alesha something i wrote about 9 years ago.. perhaps i may share it again.. we be nice to talk to people, and perhaps meet up in manchester uk for a coffee.

What is it that showed Alesha, was it something that has to do with JWs?

District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium

by NikL in

last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.

LauraV

That's interesting because the kids are back in school now, so will the District Assembly now be only on the weekend? Or will all the blind followers allow their children to miss school to learn about Jehovah?

Anyone have someone move in and take over the congergation?

by rickroll in

i have been in two congregations where someone moved in from the big city and took over with the attitude of the northerners when they go south, i come from where they do it right.

like bulls in china shops they remove people and do the house cleaning like the political org cult it is.

I remember a Congregation in Brooklyn a decade or two ago that had either a CO or new elder sent to them and he DFd basically everyone in the Congregation. I think it was the Spring Creek Cong.

I know I've watched footage of the Dolomites before, absolutely beautiful.

I'm also hooked on watching Jungfrau, Switzerland on YouTube, beautiful snow capped mountains like the Dolomites

Do You Think Trump Should Be Impeached?

some democrats are zealously pushing the impeachment route to get rid of trump.

even if you don’t like him, do you support impeachment proceedings?.

LauraV

Well, all of you that think not, I guess it's safe for me to say I'm glad if Obama had the same accusations against him like Trump does, since we are all common sense people here, good to here you Trump supporters say you give Obama the same break, I mean you can't say that I can get away with murder so to speak, but my neighbor can't, right?
