I once worked with a witnesses in janitorial. This person was also a distributer for a line of janitorial cleaning products. Before I delivered 5 gallon pails to the various customers this person would pour some off and add water! This usually made 5 gallons with 4! leaving an extra gallon to sell! We had serious words about his business practices before I quit doing business with this person. I was seriously stumbled. He was an elder.....an PO. He stepped down not long after that.

Speaking of WTBTS illustrations, what's up with all the dress clothes?!
by Lady Zombie ingruesome armageddon illustrations aside, what's up with never drawing women wearing pants (unless they're worldly)?!.
picturing them at the kh is one thing, but picturing "christian" women (i.e.
jw women) outside of the kh wearing dresses is a bit ridiculous.

Elders don't close their eyes when they pray
by outofthebox inwhen i was a hardcore jw, i closed my eyes and paid attention to the prayer, because i believed we were communicating with god.
what a privilege!
now, it has been some time since i closed my eyes when the jws pray.

I followed the example of a curcuit overseer from the early 80's. He did not close his eyes or bow his head when saying a prayer from the platform! He just kind of conjured up a thoughtful stare.....
He gave some of the best prayers I have ever heard. I wonder where Mark is now? He drove new Volvo's.
He was a kind all of his own, and refreshing.

I hate forwards. Don't read them. Pissed off my step mother in law so bad we never hear from her because we told her to quit sending forwards. I guess that paid off ok.

Dating a JW and need some help
by Whizkid ini've been 'going out' with a beautiful girl and we have a great time together.
we have a lot of similar interests and always have stuff to talk/do.
the problem is that she's a jw, and i know there is no way i'm going to become a jw.

I married a very nice Jehovah's Witness girl when she was all of 19 years old.....I know. Anyway, I was a new JW convert a few years earlier at 18 years old. I would not trade what we have had together for over 25 years for anything else in the world. We were the lucky ones. We have had the displeasure of seeing many of our JW friends relationships go very wrong. These were couples that were both JW's and also where one was a JW. Be ready to change everything you have ever known about life to the JW ways if you become one....I know you say that is not going to happen. I could and does happen frequently even among the strongest opposers. If your friend leaves the JW's she will be an outcast forever with her family and friends. The shunning is very real. The costs in these relationships are high stake. You and your girl can debate books and the internet until the cows come home. Just take a good objective look around you on this forum. I think you will be able to benefit from many lifetimes of experiences here that will help you with your decision. Good luck!

CountryGuy:
Could you elaborate on what you say you have been seeing since you were a child?
My wife, daughter and I once lived in an old two story house in North Dakota. Our daughter was about 8 years old at the time and many years later she told us that an "ugly clown" used to visit her on occasion.
The house did have areas that I was uncomfortable in. I can't explain it but it was so.
Thanks
Duane

Society to start laminating paper backed publications
by Lady Zombie inat the wednesday night ministry school meeting, a letter from the society was read announcing that wtbts paperbacked publications will begin to be laminated.
according to the letter, this "will save approximately 2 million dollars per year," "lengthen the life of the publications," and "increase the attractiveness" of the publications.. so there's that.. .
also, will someone please explain to me why 85% of the congregation started smiling and nodding at this.. i sometimes think that headquarters could send the congregations boxes of turds and the jws would act like it was the best thing ever..

Since much of the Watchtower doctrines of prophecy being fulfilled is "invisable"......maybe they were afraid that the covers were going to vaporize if not laminated.
