Those of you that born in the Borg in the late 60;s and early 70's

by James Mixon in

was life that bad for you?

we are really sorry...

I remember the "Stay alive to 75". it effected how I viewed my future. I can remember a sister telling me not to worry about good grades because it would be all for nothing when the end came.

I remember going to a special meeting for all pioneers at the Norval Assembly Hall , near the Georgetown Assembly Hall in Canada. Fred Franz gave the talk and then we were served a roast beef dinner. During his talk Franz said we should all enjoy the dinner that day because we wouldn't be eating meat in the soon to come paradise.

At Peace, at Last

by compound complex in

a cool sense of tranquility overtakes my troubled spirit.. i emerge slowly from a deeply entrenched, lifelong nightmare and proceed into gentle reverie, into quiet wakefulness.

youthful ideals, embodied in vaporous form before me, are a black reminiscence, threatening to return as an untold want having neither name nor substance, only a niggling dig that skewers my soul.

i shut it out, shut out all the noise in the head: irrational thought, excessive thinking that leads to depression, to insanity.

COC: you are a talented writer. :)

hey all,.

i'm curious about the times and places we all come and check in on this great forum.. is it after a long day at work while having a drink, or during the work day on your mobile tablets, or quickly in-between family evenings etc...?.

do most "hide" their tracks when using the family computer, perhaps using "private browsing"?.

After dinner and sometimes in the morning and sometimes right after work. This forum is too addictive for me.

Anthony Morris III... Did he really serve in Vietnam? Something doesn't quite add up...

by Calebs Airplane in

born in 1950, he apparently became a regular pioneer in 1971.. but wait.... let's just say that he enlisted (or was drafted) in 1968 at age 18.... depending on the branch of service, he would have to complete anywhere from 2 to 4 years of service.

yes, duty in hot combat zones was usually limited to 6-months at a time but you still had to serve a total of 2 to 4 years depending on the branch of service.

assuming he only served 2 years, he would have been 20 years old and discharged by 1970.... how did he get witnessed to, complete a book study, become an unbaptized publisher, get baptized and then become a regular pioneer in less than year???.

His birth name was Anthony Esposito

Injected Buddhist teachings into Watchtower Study today

by cappytan in

on the paragraph about meditation in today's study, i gave a comment about "meditating with a view towards mindfulness and awareness of the positive things in our lives.".

afterwards, about 8 people that i rarely talk to in the congregation came up and expressed how much they appreciated that point.. wanted to say, "thank the buddha.

" but didn't have the guts.

I gave a comment about "meditating with a view towards mindfulness and awareness of the positive things in our lives."

Cappy: this is exactly what I did a a couple of months ago during the theocratic ministry school with the talk of meditation. I thought for sure I would get dragged to the back but in effect I got a lot of praise. Go figure !!!
