I think I'm biased toward the 80's because it was my last decade as a nonJW and I had so much fun in that decade (was raised as a JW, but didn't get baptized until later). I honestly don't even remember the 90's; don't know what characterizes the decade. I was so deep into JWdom as a regular pioneer/elder living in difficult circumstances that the 90's decade was a blur.

80's. It was a fun decade. Loved the music, the style, the look and feel.

I am justifiably cynical. I've been hearing in the news the last few weeks how our "great" american companies are turning out more products like masks to help out in this situation. I wasn't swallowing that. I was thinking that the sad truth is that many companies and individuals do what serves them best. What you posted backs up my cynicism.
3M probably wanted to brag about how it had helped out in this crisis. So much for that.

What's up with old geezers in the Bible?
by eyeuse2badub inwhat the hell is the problem with the famous “men of old” in the bible?
for some strange reason those old geezers (and some not so old) could not recognize who they were screwing?.
my wife was listening to this week’s bible reading about jacob, laban, and the sisters leah, and rachael.

I never understood the Lot account. He was old and so drunk he was unconscious. How did he get an erection, or how did his daughters get him erect? Also, how did they both get pregnant over the course of just two nights? Did they both just happen to be fertile at that time?
And one more thing - they were both virgins. Seems that their first times would have been painful and awkward.

It's not about spiritually; it's about control and keeping JWs on the never ending wheel of mindless busy work so they won't have time to question or think for themselves.
I realize now that I would I have been far more spiritual if I had not been a JW. I spent 35 years toiling as a JW with no time for real spirituality.

Sister Not Sure If She Is 144 000 or Great Crowd
by Awake at last ini haven’t posted here for years as i have now moved on and am satisfied with the choice i have made to leave watchtower.
however in light of the coronavirus and people in australia and other countries being asked to stay at home i became concerned for a witness sister who lives in melbourne alone who is 88 years old.
today i gave her a call as i don’t trust the local witnesses to care for her.

I would tell her not to worry over it. If the JW God is who he says he is, then he knows her feelings and will handle her situation in the best way. She's guaranteed happiness [according to JW belief (I wish I could believe that)], so she will fit in and feel at home wherever she ends up - earth or heaven.

lancelink, i remember that, too. It was sometime before 1986, and it was about the fact that the UN was declaring 1986 to be The International Year of Peace. When the announcement was made at the end of the district convention where I was in Tennessee, you could hear a pin drop. JWs made a big deal about it. And then it came and went and nothing happened.

Request--Do You Have The App Video?
by Atlantis inpetra, would you check and see if atlantis has the app video?.

Thank you much, Petra & Atlantis!
Just watched the video. Sickening. Cult. They're so worried about the rank and file learning the real truth.
They act like they're so concerned about "the flock". 'Oh, somebody might steal your info if you use one of these unauthorized apps.' Hell, they stole my whole life - cost me literally millions in missed wages and missed retirement opportunities and other missed opportunities.
