  Got my copies of August and September Awakes today! Funny and sad story.

  by hubert in

  i was in my truck in town and talking with my sis-in-law whom i met on a side street, and while we were discussing something, she noticed a group of 4 people, 2 women, and two girls, walking up and down the other side of the street, then they got in their car, and stayed there.

  so, when she left, i pulled right up next to them, and asked them if they happened to be j.w.'s?

  the driver gave me a huge smile, and said, "yes, we are!

  Hello Hubert,

  man, you can't imagine how good I feel when I see people approaching the JWs and engage them in a civilized manner without the fear we used to have.

  What a wonderful impact the free flow of information is having!

  Jezebel Idea in Motion (photos)

  ok, it started as an idea to make a jezebel such as was in the book of bible stories.

  but then i did not have all the parts and my hair was tied down.

  i threw in jack the ripper shoes and stockings, and a gypsy skirt.

  Oh God!!! I hate those boxes. You cracked me up.
  Yes, I used to have one of those mini dentist/doctor/tool box, during my pre-teen years. :)
  I hate it just to think of it.
  Thank you for the good laugh, though.

  I thought Babylon the Great had fallen

  by beautifulisfree in

  i swear the wtbs used to teach that 'babylon the great' had already fallen?

  and that 'false religion' was drying up?

  is this what the society is 'correcting in their book?

  Great BABY is alive and very very well!!!
  
  In Brazil there has been a surge in Protestant Evangelical religions of all sorts. When a business fails, one of these churches open right where the supermarket/car dealer/store was. They are simply everywhere!!!
  
  The other day, I pointed this fact to a JW friend of mine. He thought for a moment and then changed subject.
  
  Baby is very well and greater than ever... and they know it!

  No, I don't think they're getting crazier; they have been like that all along.
  JWs is the only religion on this planet whose people say "they symbolized their dedication to Jehovah" instead of simply 'they were baptized'.
  What a bunch!!!

  years ago, when i was 19 and shp (single hot pioneer), living at home of course, waitressing at denny's, just living la vida loca.

  .. swingle stayed in our home for a district ass.

  after the weekend and as he was saying his goodbyes, he grabbed my face and shook me back and forth and with a wide grin on his face said, "you need to come to bethel to meet some of our bethel boys, i'm tired of these colored girls coming to bethel and taking our boys home.
