  Pioneer School Funny Picture

  found this on one of the exjw reddit pages.

  a "hilarious" group photo.

  another sign that this isnt the same religion we remembered of the 80s and 90s - and i dont mean that in a good, progressive way.. you can just smell the virginity oozing out of the front and back row.. .

  At least this is a happy bunch. I went back to look at my pioneer class picture and everyone is as stiff as a board.

  Craziest thing you ever saw in a KH?

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i did this in my facebook group for my podcast and it was fun.. so what's the craziest thing you ever saw?.

  for me it was watching a brother have a heart attack during the meeting in the auditorium.

  i was a kid and noticed him shaking and acting strange.

  Too many ! but two stick in my mind:

  1. sister gets up and drops head long on the floor. The speaker kept on talking as if nothing happened.

  2. there was a mouse on the stage during the meeting. Two or 3 elders were trying to catch it while the speaker continued giving the talk. I swear all I needed was popcorn to make the show complete.

  3. the mouse appeared again during the theocratic ministry school. The two sisters were pretending to speak on a corded phone. The mouse was going up the cord. Once again the elders were up on stage trying to catch it.
  

  I kid you not this actually happened. I don't recall they ever caught that pesky thing. But it was entertaining

  When I was a teenager I always thought I was stupid because I couldn't make heads or tails of Freddy's talk. Now I realize I wasn't the stupid one. It was Freddy all along that was the lunatic.

  Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?

  such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

  In my area, they are encouraged to dress as at the meeting. Some men wear suits. You can tell because these folks actually stand for the song and prayer.

  Is there a WT - Aspergers Connection?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so after much research, i'm convinced that my dad and both my older brothers have aspergers.

  they can come across as jerks at times especially when their guard is down.

  however, they can hide it extremely well when they want to, with pointed effort.

  I don't know if there is a connection, but I know a number of witnesses who definitely were on the spectrum. Some also in my own extended family.

  Weekly Meeting Importance Being Reduced - Your Thoughts?

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.

  nothing was more important than being at the meetings!

  over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.

  What will it take to make the transition away from meetings?

  JWtom, I don't think it would take that much. Look how quickly they removed the book study. In all my 50 years of association, it was drilled ad nauseum that the book study was THE most important meeting for a JW. The reasoning was that in the event of persecution or or a ban, the book study would provide spiritual solace. But literally overnight, the book study disappeared and no one batted an eye.
