R_O: Ah, yes the monster corporate lawyer bookcase. That one hit close to home, when I was first in I had a case that would have made Marcus Welby MD jealous. I thought heck, you never know when an exorcism will break out, you need to be prepared for anything.

Most Annoying Things That Happen At JW Meetings
by LittleSister intoday i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.
prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.
he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

When you bring your lunch, bring along extra's to feed others
by Quarterback inlast week's service meeting had brought out the experience in the 2013 yb about sharing their lunch with someone in the audience, who didn'y have anything.
although i beleive this to be a good idea, but, i couldn't help but think how things had changed.
the society wasn't playing by that same principle of hospitality, when they had the food arrangement at the assemblies.

Giving food to hungry people is what Christ did, that is why the Society did otherwise.

WAKEN UP TO THE TRUTH
by The Searcher inas an awakened, "still in" witness, i especially ask fellow witnesses to think about the following conclusions as to whether they are factually correct or just rantings.
analyse these statements using your powers of reasoning, and what you know is really ordered by the governing body in new york, and not by the bible!.
1. there is no need for individual witnesses to "study" or meditate on the bible, because all the study & meditation has been done for you by a writing committee in brooklyn.

I would have to say that they do encourage #1 and #2 with respect to individuals asking for HS to reach and accept the "correct" understanding of the Bible and consequently the WT. If ever one gets to #3 and #4, refer to steps 1 and 2 in order to avoid 3 and 4.

by impala63rag inhello friends, .

Just read the opening two paragraphs of this week's WT study and ask yourself just who really guilty of duplicity, misleading statements and outright lies? Consider some of the heart-wrenching life stories of jw-net members and I believe you will find the answer.

Gum Chewing....Allowed in your hall or not?
by LostGeneration inso when i attended, this was never an issue - its been five years since i was booted.
a bit before i woke up, a couple visiting us (middle america) from the deep south basically told me this never, ever was allowed in their hall.
no 'priveleges' for a guy who chewed gum.

BADFISH-that's clever, yet twisted:
"And do not be chewing gum in the congregations, for it was Eve who chewed gum and not Adam." (1 John 1:11)
"Let your gum chewing be practiced with diligence and humility, and not with the smacking of lips, as some have the custom, for the blowing of bubbles is a shame in the presence of God." (2 Peter 2:23)
*thumps bible*
We have an elder's wife that would line up her kids and hand them each a stick of gum right before the opening song. Then the CO came to town and said something to the effect: What do gum-chewing sisters and cows have in common? Answer: they both chew sit there chewing their cud and don't have a care in the world. Did that have any effect on our Elderette? Hell no.

RE: District Convention half-time show
Bro. Nelson will need to get CO wardrobe approval prior to the show-that means no tight purple pants or chest hair exposure (ruffled shirt ok, tie not optional) and no phallus-shaped guitars or goat-shaped demon props allowed on the Convention stage.

I wonder who the Aberdeen Cong. representative sat by at this conference, the officer from the Salvation Army or maybe the Hong Kong Islamic center. Does the word "inter-faith" come to mind?

At least Bro. Judah's secular work is benefiting the friends, never mind that his Ivy league law degree was funded by donated funds (World Wide Work). Besides, it's not like he is defending Big Pharma or some other "worldly" enterprise.
