I can rembember being told by the elders not to clap when someone was reinstated. Talk about awkward silence!
Yeah right, they are going to throw a big party when they return. I have NEVER seen that before.
this is a shunning story that was recently conveyed to me by email.
i have changed the names/dates to protect the privacy of the individuals.

so after dc yesterday, we went for chinese.
after the others read their rather boring fortunes from their fortune cookies, mine predicted:.
the next full moon brings an enchanting evening.. and you all know the two words to add to the end of the fortune, right?.
I've always had a penchant for sweet and sour prawn balls!
I didn't know prawns had balls.
i attended a convention recently but didn't wear a badge i was treated with the utmost suspicion.
particularly when i arrived during the sessions one day.
the attendant didn't want me wandering off to find a seat on my own.
1) Grow a long beard
2) Show up at next years convention wearing a leasure suit with a convention badge from 1974.
3) Bring a green bible and pink song book.
4) Tell everyone that you have been in a coma since 1974, just woke up and was wondering if the end is still coming in 1975?
5) Ask if Fred Franz will be the guest speaker?

Just go by the lost and found and pick one up.
What I always thought was weird, was when people wore their badges after the convention when they went out to eat and such. I never did that.
without specifics being mentioned as to what it is......(to avoid tipping off certain lurkers).. how many people know about the upcoming summer long campaign?
please use this thread to confirm receipt of your campaign invitation.
take care.
PM please.
I have about 30 email addresses of JW's that I got quite by accident and have been wondering what to do with them. This thread gives me some good ideas.
the first summer a$$embly finishes this weekend.. tell tell!.
who are the toes.
the verrucas and fungus?.
So the 'King of the north' is NOT China?
Now there is some new light that Freddie would have been proud to dish up if he were still on earth. It's a shame he can't channel some of his wisdom to the GB 2.0 from his throne in heaven.
does anyone know if it's wt policy to exclude certain volumes of watchtower/awake magazines or other literature from the kingdom hall libraries?.
i was doing some research to confirm some of what i've seen online but many key publications are missing from the kh library.. other stuff i checked for was completely different from what's shown on scans and images from jwfacts.org and other sites..
In the last congregation that I attended, they had the JW year book for every year on the shelf, except for the year they pandered to Adolf Hitler. I think it was 1931 or 1932. It struck me as odd, because I was looking just for that year so I could read the comments for myself.
in the 2011-8-15 wt, the already discussed topic (here) of the gb not keeping tabs ( .
questions from readers!?!.
let me get this srtaight.. the readers of said kool aid edition are r&f witnesses, who have heard the terms anointed, partakers, etc.
How many letters do you thing the WTS has received with questions about the WTS association with the United Nations NGO organization?
How many JWs have left the orgnization or have been stumbled by the WTS association with the UN?
If there was ever a QFR that should be answered, this would be it!
Yet, nothing! It's a sham for sure.
i don't want to get trapped in a building when i am called to the lord.
these are details you gotta think about.. my rapture checklist.
clean underwearbiblesnickers and trailmix (you never know how long the trip up might be)sunscreen (the uv rays at 50,000 are killer)harmonicais there anything else i am missing?.
You may not want to plan on any airplane flights that day. It could be quite dangerous with all those christains rapturing up without a flight plan!
judgment day.
the end of the world is almost here!.
holy god will bring judgment day on.
Yes, I remember the 'stay alive til seventy five'....
Now it's
Go to heaven in two thousand and eleven.
I'm just glad it's on the weekend so I can throw down a decent armageddon party.
