MY BEST FRIEND

by compound complex in

jw
friends

he walked right past me, looking straight ahead.. years before, hal and i walked the same path, the best of pals.

laughing and joking while endeavoring to maintain some level of decorum during our serious work of being a theatrical spectacle to men and angels.

although we hadn't seen each other in years, hal must have gotten word .

Where is the proof that this is not a spoof ?

How reliable is this story ? Do you really think [yes we have had some spectacular things from the GB] that any JW would do or condone this in any way?

Friends told me Elvis is studying the Bible with JW's in the Memphis congo.

UPDATE: Elvis just phoned me and told me he is studying ! You heard it first from me!

The 1975 Generation---are they still around?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.

as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.

now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.

19 Yrs old in 1975 - Baptized in Dec 74 [Just in case it did happen right ? ] - Out !

Wife - 16 yrs old - baptized at 13 yrs - Most of her JW peers have died.

My kids are Out

Disassociation Announcement

friends

did anyone experience a disassociation announcement during the public meeting instead during the service meeting?.

in my case it was announced the next day that we submitted our letter and this was on sunday instead of waiting for the service meeting on thursday..

One Thing I Don't Get About Brexit

by JW_Rogue in

how did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?

and with only a simple majority required?

in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.

On our morning Talk Radio this morning a caller told of his family in Devon who were cock-sure it would be a Stay vote but decided to vote Go as a protest against the govt. ! ....................................

So........as of this morning ...What is Great Britain ? Geo-Politically that is ?

Other stats on the UK TV's showed that a large number of >35 yr olds who wanted to Stay did not pitch at the polls and that the vast number of Go's [who did pitch in numbers] was <65 yrs ? Is that kinda correct ?

Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit

by Listener in

the degradation of the governing body members continues on.

mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.

in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

Satan's system provided all the technology - the Aircraft/ Pilots and ATC's / the ITC / etc etc etc and the Belgium Police system the security in the city ! Yep - this is a great experience of Divine favour -

No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!

by purrpurr in

it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?
