If them people like George Floyd would just keep to their own kind, we wouldn't be having these problems.

Thunderous Applause Around The Stadium
by Number 6 ingrowing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.
we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.
we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.

Thinking back to the mid-late 1960's and 1970's from what I can remember as a poor black child (ok, I'm white, but still was poor), was the way in which the speakers late in the day at Yankee Stadium (New York) on the week-long assembles could get the masses all pumped up.
The speaker would make a sentence in a very low, baritone voice. Always started with "Brothers". Then followed by a long pause.
Then, at a higher level, another statement.
Then yet, at a higher level, another statement.
Then, finally, almost yelling, "Brothers, don't we all agree that ........................................."
Everyone would clap, stand up, clap some more, etc, etc, etc.
The speaker could have said virtually anything (Brothers, don't we agree that the moon is made of cheese ... that there are aliens here among us .....) yes, anything. It made no difference what the speaker said, but everyone would still stand up and applaud.
It was kind of weird actually. You were standing up, applauding before he even finished the sentence and not even knowing what you were applauding for.

How Would You React if a Snake Started Talking to You?
by RubaDub injust an odd thought i guess.
i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.
i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?

If Eve were alive today, I bet she would buy a lot of stuff off infomercials late at night, and then get a bonus product if she was one of the first 50 callers.

I'm from the great State of Pennsylvania
My Name .......
Sorry, but with liquor laws from Prohibition times and a narrow Turnpike that resembles an old country road .... well ... there are much better places. The Turnpike doesn't even connect into the main highway, I-95 without having to drive through somebodies backyard.
Narrow two lanes roads that should be widened ... but wait ... they can't do that because there is a tree in the way that George Washington or someone pissed on in some war that is now a monument.
They can do much better.

Would I get a shovel and kill it or pull up a chair for an afternoon chat?
I really don't know.

Amberlou ...
I think the children thing is the big issue here. I don't know your ages, but if children are on the horizon, then stop. Growing up as a JW is hard enough with two strong JW parents. I, and many others here, will agree. Putting a child into the situation in schools is VERY tough unless you are both one way or the other.
There is no middle-ground in JW world. If it is what you want, go for it. But getting into that situation will be very difficult. Think of a devout Muslim family with a new Jewish family member. No matter how you slice it, unless you convert, there will be pain. And a lot of it.

Why is this an APOSTATE site?!?
by LaraK ini made a big mistake when signing up at this supposed website for jehovah's witnesses.
after reading some things on this site it has become apparent to me that this site is nothing put another pathetic site for apostates: people who betrayed jehovah, left the truth, and are so bitter about their experiene in the truth, and they are angry just like satan because they know they will very soon be dead at jehovah's hand!.
this website should be renamed something more fitting like "satan's playground" or a similar name that would get across the message of your site.. sincerely,.

Still under the radar and not a lot of details ...
But yes, I "moved" to a different congregation (same area, just for reasons I gave as business and changing meeting times) and basically said I did not want to do it anymore. At the time, you were basically, automatically given the position with the new congregation with a nice letter from the old congregation.
The reason I said to the new congregation was not wanting to be on any more JC's ... but was told that was part of the organizational arrangement. I basically told them it was not part of my arrangement. I didn't have to wait for the CO to visit. I basically told them I quit.
In a year or two, I will give more details.

Is this more orange man bad crap?
phoenix ...
I would say no. Stench is in the nose of the beholder (or besmeller or whatever the term should be).
"Bad crap" if I may quote you, is what it is. Spray it, sanitize it, try to polish it, whatever. Intrinsically, it is what it is.
