How Many Reveal Themselves Totally On This Board?
by minimus insome feel that you should put out a history of who you are, what your life was and is like now and express it in a very simple way so that everyone can "know" you.
we've had posters say they were elders, elder's sisters, hurt jws, etc.
it could all be a little fantasy.

Privileges, are they really?
by JH infrom the smallest to the biggest task in the organization, they will call it a privilege.
cleaning the toilet, passing the microphone, saying a prayer in public and so on.
did you consider each task they gave you to be a privilege?

Gotta call 'em privileges. I figured this one out long ago. That's why there's a Whitman's Sampler box full of 'em. Otherwise there would be nothing to take away and no 'tools' to use for punishment. They use the same type of psychology I use with my child. Child likes videos. Child misbehaves. Take away the privilege of looking at the videos for a set period of time. Child conforms. Gets videos back. How else are you gonna punish adults? Spank 'em?

Did The "Ressurection Hope" Keep You Involved As A Witness?
by minimus ini know a number of persons that remained as jws because they desperately wanted to see their loved ones come back from the grave and be there to welcome them.
they were afraid that if they died at armageddon or were not totally faithful that there would be a great possibility of never seeing them again........was that "ressurection hope" a big draw for you remaining a witness?

What bothers me about the "Resurrection Hope" is that it still ain't a "done deal" when and if you wake up. The contract is signed in pencil until the "1000 years" are over. Then that whole sorting thing starts again when Satan is loosed. Then folks are going to be falling away again like "the sands of the seashore". If you happen to last through this process, then the contract gets "inked". Otherwise, you get to go to "sleep" again (this time forever) The key word is "hope". You "hope" you get resurrected. You "hope" your loved ones gets resurrected. No guarantees. This prospect tires me. Following the sentiments of one other poster, I "hope" to make my life now and the lives of my friends and family worth something now. Otherwise, it's all a crap shoot.

Memorial - What are people actually thinking during it?
by asleif_dufansdottir ini had posted some of this on another thread, when i thought it might be fun to have a thread of "what is actually going thru people's minds" when they are sitting there at the memorial...
"i don't care what mom says, i'm never going to this dumb thing again.
she could at least let me have my gameboy if she's going to make me come to these dumb things.

"I always wonder how brothers who never touch a towel to dry the dishes 364 days out of the year, feel so honored to drape a tea towel over their arm."
You have GOT to be kidding!! (right?). I'd've paid cash money to see that one!!! I can only imagine what a sight that was. See, see, that is the type of thing that would have sent people living in my part of the country rolling down the aisle, laughing to the point of tears. But I digress...
After we got there and noticed people eagerly scoping us out so as to grab us afterwards, I was thinking about how my family could escape to the parking lot and get out before "amen" and the beginning of the "lip flapping" inquisition session (directed at me, of course) that was soon to follow. Did we make it? You bet your sweet bippy we did. Also discovered 2 new facts:
- You can hook a child up in a safety seat in less than 10 seconds. And ...
- An 8 year old car (that was not built for speed) can go from zero to 60 in even less time if you will it to.

Was/Is there a particular elder that was/is always after you?
by JH inalthough there are many elders in each congregation, was there a particular one that always seemed to be after you, criticizing that you missed meetings, or always knocking at your door to bring you back to the hall?
in my case, it always seems to be the same elder that comes over every year to try to bring me back.
he isn't the head elder, so why is he always the one pesting me?.

Do you have a favorite piece of music?
by MorpheuzX ini don't know if this thread has been covered before; do you have a favorite song or piece of music or performer?
i know the question seems juvenile.
but, i'm curious.. mine, i think, is a tie between wladyslaw szpilman's performance of chopin's nocturne in c-sharp minor and angela hewitt's version of bach's goldberg variations -- the aria is divine!.
