this was one of the craziest things i remember about the summer conventions.
i would go into the sister's bathrooms and the mirrors would all be taped up with brown paper so that we couldn't look at our reflections.
were were amish or something?
Yes, I remember the washroom mirrors covered up with brown paper. When I think about it now, we were treated like two year olds. I don't remember any sister bold enough to tear the paper off. Some sisters got smart and they would bring mirrors in their bags.

i was just reading the thread "questions on the generation teaching", and someone mentioned the 1995 watchtower article where is said this:rather than provide a rule for measuring time, the term "generation" as used by jesus refers principally to contemporary people of a certain historical period, with their identifying characteristics.. .
what i'm wondering is, has the wts mentioned the word "generation" since this article?
are they sticking to this explanation in any way, shape, or form?
I hear very little talk about the generation anymore. They still talk about the "composite sign" of the last days but never is the generation mentioned.
Most Jw's haven't even noticed the change and those that have chalk it up to Jehovah's ever moving organization and new light.

i haven?t posted much in the past.
however, i enjoy reading the many topics.. i would like your thoughts regarding the following:.
after no contact with anyone in my former congregation (aside from being shunning) for the last eight years, i walk into work this morning and check my voice mail to find i have a message from one of the elders.
You seem to be in a comfy place. I wouldn't jepordise it.
I would not meet with them.

would you have gone to college, gotten a great job, become a businessman, politician, priest,........what??
?
I would have attended university and would have had more children.
But I am done with the "what if's". I try to live my life in the moment.

wow, i remember when i was 19, newly married with my first kid, and was very zealous for the work of the wt.
i was working in a building supplies store when in walks a fella by the name of peter barnes!
omg it was him!
I first met a real live apostate when I started pioneering at age l7. I found him in the door to door work.
My partner and I were inside his house when I figured out that he was an APOSTATE. I was so scared. My heart was beating and all I could think about was how the hell I was going to get out of there. Before we left I remember telling him how sorry I was for him because he was not inside 'Jehovah's spiritual ark" and the end was so close.
He must have had a good laugh after we left.

god d&mn i?m mad!
the ?secretary?
of the congregation just called.
What a callous insentitive %$# ^& ! *&^%$.
It makes my blood boil just to reading the lack of love and fellow feeling they display. All they care is their precious time at the end of the month.
Hang in there acsot!
You will have the last laugh.

my mom's nursing home called today to tell me that the doctor recommended that she go on hospice care.
they said she has entered the last stage of alzheimer's and is not taking in nutrients, just liquids.
i'm going there tomorrow morning to fill out the necessary release forms.
Watching a parent get so sick must be very hard. Sorry. My prayers are with you
