  figured i'd post this on here, and give it a shot.

  i'm in winnipeg, and i'm looking for a guy named thiery - who apparently has become inactive.

  would be cool to hook up with him again.

  The Emblems

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that used to really boggle my mind were the emblems at the memorial.

  i thought it would be much more sacred than going out to the grocery store and buying a box of passover crackers sitting right next to the vegetable thins.. i wondered why the wts never baked the crackers and brewed the wine themselves, instead of letting a worldly company do it for them.

  worldly companies are dishonest, and there could be additives and all that other good stuff in the emblems.

  well, i really don't know how to exactly explain this one, or how to ask this question, but i'll do my best.

  first, some background information:.

  me and my mother got into a religious discussion - something i really enjoy doing.

  2. friends

  i remember, one of the songs i was told was a bad song, was bridge over troubled water.

  apparently, it's about drug use.

  what are some of the "worldly" songs you were advised to quit listening to that seemed harmless?edited by - nosferatu on 16 january 2003 13:39:50.

  Did your teacher ever....

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just read this from a 1973 wt:.

  "boys and girls may start to play with their private parts during puberty and, not receiving any counsel against this, the first thing they know they are "hooked" on the habit.

  and if some know nothing about such self-abuse before entering high school, the chances are they will learn of it from either fellow students or the teachers themselves.".

  Preaching The Good News

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really don't know why jws call going door to door "preaching the good news".

  it's really not all that good.

  their message: join up with the jws or die at armageddon.

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

  just thought i'd relate this story, it's quite funny!.

  the memorial came around, and my mother brought this newly baptized lady who my mother successfully got into the jws.

  we went and picked her up.

  Theocratic Ministry School change

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard recently that the theocratic ministry school has been modified.

  instead of giving the student's grade from the platform, it will now be done in private.

  did they finally realize that telling the student that he's getting a "w" is humiliating him, or is there scriptural reasoning for this change?
