Ain't no such thing as "randomly underlining". No matter what you underline, you got it right because the question at the bottom is answered somewhere in the paragraph. My child, who couldn't read was able to underline the right answers. Gave him a box of crayolas and he "went to town" using different colors "pretending" to study his lesson. Upon closer inspection, I realized that most of his underlinings were the correct answers to the questions below. No way he could miss.

What did you actually enjoy about JW meetings?
by Pinned Blouse in.
as much as i dreaded going to all the meetings there were things that i did enjoy.. 1. no special parking spaces for the elders, etc.. 2. no collections plate going around the room.
3. no one person giving the talk every single week (can you imagine the same speaker 3 to 4 times a week, every day?

"Sometimes we got to get Popeye's fried chicken after the Sunday meeting. Yea. That was cool.
Oh - and if it ended on time we could also catch the end of "American Top 40" and hear the #1 song for the week!!" We did the EXACT same thing. (Even down to the same named chicken place).

This House Is Empty Now(Elvis Costello / Burt Bacharach)
These rooms play tricks upon you
Remember when they were always filled with laughter
But now they're quite deserted
They seem to just echo voices raised in anger
Maybe you will see my face
Reflected there on the pane
In the window up above for long
In broken home
Yet this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you
These walls were lined with pictures
Remember the glass we charged in celebration
But now I fill my life up
With all that I can to deaden this sensation
Do you recognize the face
Fixed in that fine silver frame
Were you really so unhappy there
You never said
So this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do to make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Oh, if I could just become forgetful
When night seems endless
Does the extinguished candle care
About the darkness
It's funny how the memory
Will bring you so close then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they will favour, who they will lose
Hang the garland high, or close the door
Or throw away the key
This house is empty now
There's no one living here
You have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This house is empty now
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
This house is empty now

There's a really good article in the magazine...
by Nosferatu inwhat always blew my mind was that whenever an article in the watchtower, awake, or any wt publication is when someone refers to a part of the publication and says, "there's a really good article in here about bla bla bla".
i've heard many jws use it at the doors, use it at the kingdom hall, etc.
my question is, when is there ever a bad article?

Anyone been "marked' from the platform?
by avishai ini heard it wasn't s'posed to happen, but as late as '89 i've seen the elders give obvious references about who to mark from stage.
i can't give the exact example, but , say it's along the lines of "nobody is to go to that three story house on blank street.
" that obvious.

JW's and holiday parades
by DaCheech in.
my mother in law has been a faithful dub for 55 years, the other day she wanted to show my 2 year old daughter the local memorial day parade.
i almost fell off my rocker, after giving her the "maybe not, maybe this..." i let them go.. is this allowed, or is it a laxing trend?

I believe this to be more of a "don't ask don't tell" deal. Case in point: I went to a Thanksgiving parade once and it was televised "live" and in living color on our local TV station. As you may have guessed, yep, Yours Truly was zero'd in on and caught "waving and grinning" for what amounted to be an extended period of time. There was no mistaking who I was. I got to see this for myself courtesy of a re-broadcast of the same parade on Christmas morning. Hadn't heard a peep from any witnesses about it. However, lots of other people I know saw it and affectionately labeled me a "TV star". And there went 3 minutes of my 15 minutes of fame...(or infamy)

Did you ever get a W (Work needed) on a talk?
by desib77 insomeone mentioned this in one of their posts and i had a flashback.
i remember getting a w on one of my theocratic school talks when i was working on gesturing.
the funny thing about it is that it was given to me by my dad!

I never got a "W", but I remember some who did. One sister in particular. She got a "W" on her "otherwise-filled-with-Gs" speech counsel slip. (Her talk was awful by the way and she was working on timing and she got "dinged" off the stage) She was as mad as a wet hen. She huffed and puffed herself off of the platform. Afterwards she cornered the ministry school conductor and demanded that he give an explanation as to why he marked her as being less than perfect. I thought the confrontation was hilarious!!. She sure looked stupid. It would be quite a different matter if after getting so many "G"s you'd get a prize (like "pioneer points" or a toaster or a blender). The only thing you get to do is discover if you have a hidden knack for entertaining or that you can get to look like a fool for free.

I experienced something similar some years ago. I don't know you and even if I did, I cannot say "I know how you feel", But I know a few things for sure: It doesn't feel good and it takes a while to process the meaning of it all. Life and Death. Such a delicate balance between the two and so much not understood. With the support of your friends and family, may you reach the place inside you that you need to be at the time you need to be there.

Go. You might be surprised. When I went to mine; the former cheerleaders had gotten ugly. The football jocks didn't look too hot either. However....the former plain janes, wallflowers, overweight ones and those otherwise forgotten years ago looked smashing!!!! Go figure...

Do you think people are amazed you left?
by Sassy inwhether you have been disfellowshipped, or disasociated yourself or just slowly are fading or inactive... .
or even are still there at the hall attending due to family.. .
do you think that when you were at your 'strongest as a believer' that anyone would have guessed how you feel about the wts now?.
