  hmm.

  and maybe even live a heck of a lot better, to be quite honest, as i'm kinda poor right now.

  if not, then what the heck am i doing being a christian?

  Interested Person kills Bethelite in German Kingdom Hall, later is killed by train

  by processor in

  2. scandals

  on saturday, 35 jehovah's witnesses gathered in their kingdom hall near frankfurt and sat over coffee and cake (for whatever reason, maybe pioneer school or some other event).

  suddenly a 20-year-old man (according to most sources "not a jw yet, but wanted to become one"; though one source claims that he would have been an auxiliary pioneer) took a knife from the cake buffet and killed a 45-year-old bethelite (maybe a circuit overseer).. today the murderer was killed by a train - supposedly suicide.. .

  Does anyone remember when women could be servants in the congregation?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  this was before the elder arrangement.

  in the 1950's our congregation servant's wife handled the accounts--by appointment from the society.

  in the early 1960's it was a practice to allow a sister to handle the congregation book study if there was a shortage of brothers.

  Mr. Flipper's Son Hears and Sees Bigfoot- I'm Serious, Not Joking

  i know i'm setting myself up here, but here it goes.

  first of all if you want to crack funnies about this or jokes, that's perfectly cool, it's alright, i don't mind.

  however this is a true story from what happened in may and my motive for writing about this is not just humor, but i want to see if anybody else has experienced what my son went through while being in the mountains or anywhere.

  Interesting tidbit from a bethalite

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so my "bethalite" sister calls me last night for a chat (now i must digress slightly and say that conversations with my sister are few and far between - we have very little to say to each other and any calls to each other are merely out of duty) .

  after all the small talk, she tells me that she was doing stocktake in the tuckshop for a change instead of the usual housekeeping job that she is meant to do.

  i ask her why and she tells me that all the dept's within bethal who keep a supply of products have to do a stocktake in preparation for the big courtcase on friday.

  Fading? What's up?

  by arker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a jw, finally saw my chance and wrote a letter to the elders saying how bad i am and how i don't want to meet to discuss it and to df me if you want.

  that was the end of it for me.

  my question is if you know you are "fading" you are already gone so why not make the leap?
