  Freeminds - Announcements

  by sweet pea in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  barbara anderson recently posted that she felt at a loss as to where she would now be able to make her announcements.. hopefully freeminds can be the main place where we all go for big announcements once they are no longer available on jwd - freeminds helped many to initially find out the substance behind their doubts and i'm sure if there's not an announcement feature right now, randy can sort one out?

  randy - where are you???.

  one day there will be a site that will help doubting/fading/free ones to find a safe, caring and stimulating community, i can feel it in my bones.... .

  Have any of you heard about "The Cleavage Talk?" C'mon!!

  supposedly about the same time as the bethel visitor's dress code brochure, talks were being given in kh concerning women showing cleavage.. i don't know.

  i haven't heard any of these talks myself, but my folks tell me they have.

  they also told me about the talks given in other congregations (reported to them by their friends).. i guess some cos, pos, etc.

  Fadeout,

  That was a good one. That gave me a good laugh.

  Garybuss,

  My conventions here in New York City were just as you described. When I would walk around during intermission, and many times during the talks to get away from the boring drivel, I'd see sisters with slits in their dresses, splits in their dresses way up on the thigh, and a lot of cleavage. It was really a sexy fashion show at all the conventions. I enjoyed it!

  Does anyone remember the big 6 month Bible study push during the mid 1990s?

  by neverendingjourney in

  i was a regular pioneer for a while during the mid 90s, about a year or two after the knowledge book replaced the live forever book as the primary bible study manual.

  around that time the society began to spew a bunch of b.s.

  about the end being so near (hadn't heard that one before) and how there were waiting lists for bible studies in many former soviet countries.

  neverendingjourney,

  I was an elder at that time and my then wife was a pioneer. I remember that arrangement exactly as you describe it. And yes. In retrospect it was just another trick of the borg to get everybody all excited and thinking that "The End Is (was) Close".

  Keyzer Soze,

  "I remember talking with a then ms, now an elder the weekend after it happened. His exact words were "It's 3000 people who wouldn't have survived armageddon anyway."

  That MS showed how ignorant he can be.

  There were loyal j-dubs who died in that attack, and I knew them personally.

  Investigators searched the scene of an explosion at a Jehovah's Witness' Kingdom Hall in Bates City, Mo. on July 26, 2008.

  Kansas City News

  
  A bizarre explosion at a church east of Kansas City killed one man on Saturday afternoon.
  
  ATF agents said the explosion at the Jehovah's Witness' Kingdom Hall on Foggy Bottom Drive was intentionally set, and that the person who died appears to have committed suicide.
  
  Witnesses described large amounts of smoke pouring out of the building, which they said was just recently completed.
  
  The source of the explosion remains a mystery, but investigators found evidence of accelerants in the debris.
  
  The victim was the only person inside the building. Worf

  i'm feeling rejected and hurt because i've just been informed that i am not invited to my little sisters wedding.

  first, here's a little background story on my relationship with her: she and i are three years apart.

  when we were younger we were very close (i was in the "truth" back then).

  LunaFing,

  I had the same type of experience back in August of 2000. My younger sister banned me from her wedding just because I was questioning the organization on a number of issues. And I was not disfellowshipped or disassociated.
