We used to have them when I was growing up. I went to a few. The invitations clearly stated that the guys had to wear tuxedos. So my buddy and I show up wearing tuxedos and guess what? We were the only ones wearing them. We just blew $100+ on tux rentals. WTF? The whole event was lame anyway. The event was a freakin' dude ranch, hardly any sisters.

Today's Watchtowe Study, Child Baptism
by BluesBrother insuffice to say that i fundamentally disagree with the point of this article, a cynical attempt to boost numbers.
it goes against bible precedent and their own long standing practice.

Birthday
by charonsdog inby the time i finish this post, i will have turned 50 years old.
i spent over 40 years of my life not celebrating my birthday, and it never seemed like a big deal to me.
three years ago, i received a cake and some friends sang "happy birthday" to me at a dinner party that was for a different event.

Atheists - How Did You Become An Atheist After Waking Up?
by pale.emperor ini consider myself an atheist.
and right now i'm reading a lot on atheism in general (books written to answer creationists).. i'd be interested in knowing how you became an atheist after leaving the jws and how long did it take?
was it instant or did your belief in a deity gradually decline?.

I thought as recently as 2009 that the dubs had it right. Only when I became "inactive" did it completely sink in that was all a cruel joke. I currently feel that if (and I do mean if) there is a “higher being” out there, he/she/it doesn’t care about us. I can’t say that I’m an atheist yet, but I may not be far off.

Will the Pope apologize? - Truth and Reconciliation Commission Canada
by OrphanCrow ini am posting this in this section (child abuse) because of the impact the catholic church has on what transpires in the religio-socio-legal realm that the jws are also embroiled in, concerning institutional abuses.. the catholic church is not willing to apologize for their role in the horrific abuses that occurred in canada in the residential school system for the canadian indigenous population.. for anyone who is interested in background on this dark chapter of canadian history, the truth and reconciliation report is available here - it is a hefty volume that is very difficult to read and it is the result of a royal commission on aboriginal peoples.. the pope has refused to offer an apology and it has become a controversial subject in canadian politics:.
'no government tells the pope what to say': priest defends lack of apology for residential schools.
a canadian priest is defending pope francis' decision not to apologize to indigenous people in canada for the role the catholic church played in the residential school system.about 150,000 first nation, inuit and métis children were taken from their parents by law and forced to attend church-run residential schools.

Will the Pope apologize? Absolutely. Right after the governing body apologizes.

How fitting. Many dubs have a problem with alcohol anyway.

Did You Ever Luke ANY Songs From The “Songbook “?
by minimus ini went on line looking for old jw songs and some of them were pretty good and some were just awful!.
did you ever like any of those songs?

The songbook that I grew up with was the 1984 brown songbook. My favorite musical instrument is the piano, so I liked hearing many of the old songs at the meetings. The newest songbook is completely different and is no longer set to piano. Most of the old songs are gone and the few that remain have been tweaked. In general the new songbook sucks.
BTW…does anyone know why the 2010 songbook only lasted 5 years?
