i always hated suit, shirt and tie and wondered why men of all walks of life should be forced to wear these uncomfortable clothes and spend the money on them.
it should be remembered some of the worst people wear them, like creepy joe, putin, dirty corrupt frauds in business, law etc.
and of course al capone.
We kept one of my husband's ties for the skeleton decoration to wear at Halloween. All the suits, dress shoes, book bags, were donated, along with all my dresses and outfits used in field service and meetings.
If any life event in the future requires "dressing up," we'll give it a miss.
i want to try new snacks at amazon.
i don’t know which one i will order within few days.
any recommendations?
For some reason there aren’t any milk chocolate candies in the grocery store, besides Reese pnut butter or hershey bar, that is. It’s all dark chocolate. So I ordered chocolate oranges from Amazon, looking forward to tasting! I wouldn’t order a melt-able except in winter tho.
i missed my 24 hour grocery stores very much!
.
All of the 24-hr stores changed hours after 9/11, closing at dark. Now mostly all close around 9 or 10.
24-hr stores don’t exist here locally anymore, that I’ve seen.
do you think the jdubs will start up the door whacking again one day?.
there has to be many inside the org that are dreading having to do that again and as for the general public seeing this, it’s hard to imagine.

In ‘85 when we started fs, they made a big deal about how the d2d proved JW to be the true religion because the annoyed householders getting mad at us proved we were being persecuted as only the true religion would be.
What will JWs be told to do to draw persecution, in the absence of d2d, i wonder.
would someone in the know please clarify for me some alleged comments given from the governing body at the recent/yet to be streamed for the rank and file annual meeting?.
it is my understanding that samuel herd basically tells the rank and file that old light is new light and the new light of july, 2013 is now old light.
to be specific, herd states that the official stance on whether or not the annointed remaining on earth, to include the governing body, will all be in heaven prior to armageddon.. at this same annual meeting tony morris iii tells those in attendance that stephen letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days!
As with the secretive Shepherd book, the annual meeting is *ONLY* for the ones specifically invited and has to be kept all secret and confidential!! leaving the mediocre lousy dirtbag ordinary jw's to wait several months until January to get the holy spoutings.
And it's all for no reason at all. There's nothing newsworthy or remarkable about any of the 2021 content. That's probably what they want to keep secret.
Terry, I'm grateful for the heads up because i don't do well with sad movie endings these days! I won't watch the movie.
I like the NYPD Blue TV series more than the current movies available.
australia: jehovah’s witnesses to join redress scheme for child sexual abuse survivors.

WT "not responsible for children?" They insist that members "listen and obey" their directives about how to raise children. They present videos showing two parents "loyally" shunning the daughter whom they threw out of their home. Who were the parents being loyal TO?
Old Tony Morris so cleverly illustrating the way to motivate teens who were "delaying" baptism. Tell them they can't get a drivers license if they don't get baptized. Now if some parents are not putting pressure on the kids to get baptized they're seen as BAD parents, especially if they allow the kids to drive.
But WT doesn't see this meddling and interfering in how people choose to parent, as being responsible.
Mrs. Harry was able to get accepted into Northwestern U, so she probably had quite a few brains from a young age. Born and raised in the USA, her mindset and thinking, attitudes, etc., would be very different from British. Even tho both countries use the English language, there are many differences in the two cultures.
So a girl brought up with independent attitudes gets together with a guy who has to be obedient to his world-famous family and their traditions. Pretty soon she gets good and homesick for home and tired of having every belch reported in the news. I can imagine her complaining, "WHY can't we live where we want and WHY does our entire life get to be scheduled out for us by other people and just because your family has done this for hundreds of years, WE have to live that way too! That's not a good enough reason!!"
how are they handling the memorial this year?
zoom or open kh's?
how do they reject the wine & bread in their own home?
We've never had any zoom here so it would be hard for me to imagine the memorial being done that way!
I remember the last one i attended (by that time nobody else in my family was willing to go), it was 2011 or -12. They had it in a funeral home chapel, which had been the arrangement for a few years, since there were four congregations it wasn't possible to use the KH for all of them.
But from the first year we went to the memorial, the main thing talked about was what the gals were planning to wear and where everyone was going to eat afterwards. Most people I knew were buying new clothes for their entire family.
So we did the same thing - got all gussied up in new clothes. The event was dull with a little terror when the wine was passed and we were scared of spilling it. Then we went to someone's house and had snacks. Got home and put our new clothes away.
I never bought new outfits just for the memorial again. They weren't needed, as I learned!
what do you think of him?
i know he’s a great golfer.
we know he just got into a major car accident (again).. i respect his golfing abilities but personally i’ve never cared for him and i think the press glorifies him sooo much.
My husband says the steroids Woods used got him into trouble with the scandalous sex activities. But who knows what the deal is now, causing reckless driving. Maybe he's drinking heavily for whatever reason.
