on another thread, i read that a few adherents may be traveling (cough-cough) to other cities and wouldn't be able to make field service on christmas day.. what is the likelihood that going out on christmas will be encouraged at the weekend services at the khs?
...or do most halls stay neutral on this?
given what i've read on this forum, i have the impression that disrespecting a day of other's celebration wouldn't be discouraged which annoys the heck out of me..
When I was growing up, we never missed holiday witnessing. My dad would drag us out in service. I was always so embarassed. We generally met in the afternoon and door to door was smack in the middle of most peoples festivities.
I think now what a presumptious thing to do and what a lack of respect for other people.
There are still arrangements for Christmas and New Year day but few venture out.
wondering what to make of this youtube channel.
looks like it could be put out by wachtower.

A part of me wants to believe its not sanctioned by watchtower, but then again they associated themselves with the UN behind everybody's back, including members of their own elite group.

The simple answer is this; if it's sanctioned by the Org, it'll still be here in 7 days time. If not, then some Witness is about to have their hard work eradicated by the Legal Team at Brooklyn on the basis of breach of copyright!
I am going to be watching carefully if and when this channel gets removed.

say hi to dannalight here.... she made a post http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/46/12/welcome#4909211 but it made more sense to make a new topic for her....
Hello Dannalight: welcome and hope you stick around.
a sure guarantee that this was bogus (really, any reasoning is required at all?
) was that it did the rounds applied to john denver, annie lennox and others.. basically, they relied on satan (oh yes) for their musical ability (i knew it) and any jws in the audience would be asked to leave because ... (drum roll) ... they blocked the signal to satan so couldn't perform with them present!.
anyone else remember that gem?.
I remember the Denver rumour too. But I heard that he hated the witnesses so much that at one of his performances, he asked any jehovah's witness in the audience to leave.
Growing up in a strict jw home, there wasn't much I could listen to--everything seemed to be coming from the devil. I remember a brother from the stage who said Paul Anka's "put your head on my shoulder" should never be sung or hummed because it encouraged immorality and if you were single it would encourage fornication.
i conducted the wt study tonight on higher education.
i wondered what the reaction of the bros and sis would be.
there was no deviation from the idea that a university education is not a good idea.

Phizzy: you are very kind but I think that organiziation attracts more than one looney tune.
