Sheez people - so quick to react to anything that gets placed here - into stabbing mode before we have actually digested what someone is up to and trying to communicate. !

Breathe some of you folk !!!!!!!

Do you think Wheelie Cart will ever be free? Free Wheelie??

Which gender is Wheelie Cart? Will he/she ever date? What if Wheelie Cart is parked too near a supermarket and gets the hots for supermarket trolley?? And the wheels come off cos he sins ?

Wheelie Cart has endless marketing possibilities for the Borg !

Personally I am waiting for the Stephen Lett doll - like the old days of the dog in the back window of the car with the nodding head - Uncle Stephen making all his zany gestures ! Noddy noddy man !

HAPPY VIDEO - EXPULSIONS?????

by The Searcher in

i'm not on facebook, so i can't verify this;.

just heard from a trusted friend that a bethelite who had posted a copy of the happy @ bethel video online, has pleaded with everyone not to copy and repost it - because "their lives at bethel are at stake"!!!.

anyone heard of threats being made at hq?.

The production per se is a helluva lot better technically than the trash that appeared at the International [RC] conventions - except perhaps for some of the Japanese offerings which had imho artistic merit.

The Fear mongering of this weeks WT study!

by stuckinarut2 in

have you all read this weeks study article?.

oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.

(notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!

One assumes that during this tribulation period the entire infrastructure network is not down eg Electrical and Data otherwise we will be getting Zippo from Hotel Quebec.

[Dah Dah Di Dah Dit ...Dit Dah Di Dah Di Dah] any HAMS out there ??

21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.

by James Jack in

i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.

of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.

i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

How did you get through mind numbing meetings?

by minimus in

jw
friends

as an elder, i used to find a legitimate reason to wander.

Now we all had those who always sat in the same seats at every meeting. and this irked my son [bless his socks now ] who went around the hall re-arranging the seating positions by taking their books / objects they placed on the seats to "reserve" it and placing them randomly around the hall. Used to cause chaos in the hall come meeting start time ! Remember one night 4 return visits of a certain brother [black African men] came in and sat down in the seats formerly reserved by this one family [white and very racially sensitive] as the seats appeared vacant - cos my boy had moved their stuff - they took the RV's to task for sitting in their place !!!!!!

Counting service time in a creative way

by nevaagain in

jw
friends

couting time and, how to count time while doing as little service as possible is often a hot topic around witnesses.

i even overheard pioneers discussing about it.

they call it "creative time counting" (i translated that phrase from a different language so bear with me ;-).

When going out on Unassigned Territory [Seldom Worked/ Rural Territory] work - Bethalites instructed us to call on the first person you saw walking along the road [country road] and talk to them as this "started" the clock. Thereafter the clock was "running" even although we were still in transit to the territory - We used to rack up 10 hours / day like that.
