i was 20 years old and at bethel for just a couple of months.

i was really depressed, as i was finding out what bethel was really all about.

i drank a whole bottle of cold duck, after a long hot subway ride back to brooklyn.

It was like, well, ahhh, let me try to think, it was definitely a long time ago, from what I can remember.

How service is being conducted with the zoom meetings

by newsheep in

a friend of ours who is married to a jw said that this morning for service everyone who was on zoom got to do a call while the rest listened in on the call.

there were thirty-one this morning listening in on one who would call someone to preach to.

shouldn't the person they are calling on be warned first that there will be so many listening in on their phone call from the zoom meeting.

If it works like that, I can set up some robo calls, have a few brothers in the room, and in less than an hour we could pioneer for the month while having a few brews. I could even wear a tie to make it "official."

I like the concept.

I knew Abraham Lincoln

by road to nowhere in

my great granddad met abraham lincoln when he was a boy.

when i was a kid i met him, he was 100+.

so according to the generation teaching i knew lincoln.

RubaDub

Yes, I have thought the same thing. I am the generation that saw the Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln was of the generation that saw a man on the moon.

Yea. I get it ... lol.

Weekly Meeting Importance Being Reduced - Your Thoughts?

by JWTom in

jw
friends

i am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.

nothing was more important than being at the meetings!

over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.

As long as people keep calling the flashing 800 number at the bottom of the screen, entering the promo code and donating, there will be no problem in Borgland.

Dating Advice

by Youngaposthate in

as a young person who hasn't had lots of experience in the dating game, what would ex jws recommend with all these severed relationship ties from family.

what are the do's and dont's.

RubaDub

Be yourself and be safe (carry and insist on using protection), get tested.

Anoyn Mous ...

Excellent point. My wife and I agree, maybe disagree, but in the end agree.

Protection is important. Rub a Dub (ver. 2.2 beta) agrees that protection is important.

It would not be fun to get "the drip" and have to go to the doctor for a shot of penicillin with this COVID-19 thing all around. Better to be safe than sorry.

brothers and sisters associated with the watchtower society may 9, 2020. i have tried to inform you of the necessary adjustments you ought to take in order to truly be in the truth.

but my efforts have remained fruitless.

you well know the biblical procedure.

If I may ask, what brand of weed do you recommend, or is it more of a homegrown thing?

No opinion, just asking.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

by Simon in

jw
friends

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

RubaDub

Found these stats interesting from NY. Somehow most new cases are people that were actually sheltering at home.

Maybe it's like once being a virgin. It doesn't make any difference if you later get "affected" if you are in your house or somewhere else.

I thought this would be "obvious", but apparently ...

by Simon in

if you want to share a conspiracy video that is going to be removed by youtube, maybe sharing a link to a copy that is hosted on youtube isn't the best plan.. who knew?!.

social media is no longer the platform to use for controversial, alternative or "wrong think" opinions.. host it if you feel strongly about it, but don't keep posting "this video has been removed" links, it's a waste of everyone's time..

I've been to Roswell New Mexico. Actually there on business twice.

They have pictures of the aliens all over the place. A huge alien on the K-Mart in town.

I agree with all, whatever anyone says. I agree.
