  i am thoroughly surprised nobody has brought this up yet, but two of the original songs released last year, "i give you my best" & "jehovah welcomes you home" were performed by george benson, and the first one was a duet with singer sheila hutchinson, the same one who did duets with him over 10 years ago for the cancelled album mentioned in our kingdom ministry.

  compare this:.

  I completely missed this one. But then the last few years I've mastered the art of tuning out at the meetings.

  Try Being Kind...It Actually Feels Good!

  let me start by saying that this forum has been helpful to me in many ways.

  i haven't gotten involved in much commenting and i am not very assertive by nature so i've steered away from participating in debates.

  but i have read threads often and had a sense of community.

  Question about baptism around 1973- can anyone answer for me?

  by Virgochik in

  1. watchtower

  i am hoping someone will take a look at this and be able to help me with my question.. i was baptized in 1973, you know, because i was a teenager and old enough to stand on my own when armageddon descended in 1975. .

  perhaps elders, or any former elders especially, but anyone who was around then could help me with this question, because i honestly don't recall, and really need to know.. what were the baptismal questions the candidates responded to back then?

  were we still asked if we repented of our sins, turned around, and were being baptized in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit?.

  YOU know this is coming: Watchtower Headquaters (God's name expo and JW History museum, all inside the same building. And while you are at it, smack in the head at the stupid TOMO III, please?

  Pixel, If I do get to the headquarters, I'll be sure to ask for TOMO on your behalf LOL
  

  A great big THANK YOU for all your great suggestions. I love this forum and this great community.

  KH sign.. No "school" mentioned.

  by zeb in

  2. friends

  recently i saw a posting asking if the australian kh's had the 'ministry school' deleted from their signs.. the local hall does with "midweek meeting" and their is no mention of "ministry ..school".

  .

  now its a fair guess that all kh will have the same signage at the front..

  45 Minute Bethel Video about Changes (downsizing) at Watchtower

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.

  basically, everything must change.

  we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).

  It's funny that they can talk about changes and give themselves the pat on the back to say " they are Ok". But this same courtesy isn't allowed among the rank and file.

  My brother died last night

  by LisaRose in

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.
