pioneers?
My pioneer hours, building a KH. That was great, a couple of studies a week, maybe
a few door knocking and book study conductor and Sunday talks. Elders have it made.
It's like a General in the Army, send the troops out while you sit and shoot the breeze.
Yes I was a special pioneer in those days.

I don't get it, who do they think Matthew 6:5 apply to. Who else is
standing on street corners but JW's. "For they love to pray standing in the
synagogues (we know they love to give long prayers) and on the corners of the
streets (what other religion is doing this) , that they may be seen by men.
it will be interesting to see what will happen with the "beloved" 501c3 tax exempt status which the churches hold so dearly onto.
the first-century christians met in homes.
they did not have exemption from taxes to the governments.
This is exciting news folks. The gay community is very vocal here in
California. Think about it, the Witnesses are under the radar but if the
gay community get wind of no way they could become a JW, get baptized
the sh--t will hit the fan. Picket signs outside of the KH. It would be far more effective
then one of us. Now all we need to do is put a bug in the ear of a gay leader.
JW think you folks are abhorring, all are welcome except Gays and Apostate.

were gathering for the elite and they would get sh---t face, i mean down right.
drunk.
Now I see why JW's say they are the happiest people in the world, boozing
overeating and now drugs. Sounds like a fun place...
Witnesses have always been known for heavy drinkers, drink and be merry...
15 he said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 and these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.. 19 after the lord jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of god.
" In my name they will drive out demons". Try promoting that today in
your church. Not many churches speak about demons anymore, I wonder
if the phrase "the devil made me do it" have something to do with it.
The phrase made popular by Flip Wilson....

Humm, Jack Daniel's vs prescription drugs. One you have a hangover and
the other one may cause a person to be paranoid, some delusion, maybe go
off the deep in. I see, early leaders of the WT were alcoholics and a little nuts, but
the leaders of today and prescription drugs they are full blown nuts.

drunk. It was wild, we were new and a little surprised. For some reason I was brought
into the elite group from the start, my wife and I and all the elders. It was funny, Sunday
talk given by a Elder who two nights ago couldn't find the book of Genesis because he
was too drunk. But that was good times, a little hypocritical I may say but great times. LOL
the last article in this new wt, shows me that the organization is dealing with much information that is damaging them.
i am sure that the many recent lawsuits are being noticed by the r&f.. here are some gems from that article, titled the naive person believes every word.
we must be very selective about what we consider worthy of our attention.
For once I would love for the WT to address the lies we have been telling folks.
Name just one lie and we will leave you alone, we may go on our marry way.
But we are betting 100 to your 0, how does that stand up. Who is telling the truth here.
If it was 10% lies we were telling people , ok you may have a point but we are kicking
your butts at 100% truthfulness.
here is a change of pace, what was the nicest thing a jw has ever done for you or you have seen done?
it wasn't all bad all the time!
i really enjoy hearing about other people's lives.
feeling a little lonely this evening so please tell me if you have plans for the summer months.
i may go to some outdoor theatre with my daughter who's home from uni; with a picnic and a bottle of wine.
ozgirl: when you putt do you keep your eyes on the ball. Don't look
up until you hear the ball hit the bottom of the cup...Good luck..
