  some judged me for going/having gone to university.

  ' some judged my non jw brother for being in the army.

  I got judged for having "long hair", long by JW standards, longer than the average JW. I would be told to go get a haircut, or sometimes made fun of. One time in field service, the Elder's wife started questioning my hair and my brother's, telling is it was long. She started to make fun of us cause of that, cause we didn't get it cut once a month and didn't want to get it cut at that moment when a kid in our group went to get get his in the middle of field service. Then a few other congregation membera joined her. Not the first time I had my "long hair" caused an issue. Nowadays I keep it shorter for my own reasons, not because of them. But it was still embarrassing and not fun when that happened.

  Ironically, I wore a stubble for a few months and no one said anything, except my mother who kept nagging me about it. I still got to do the microphones a few times too. The new congregation I go to didn't say anything about it, at least to me.

  *** w55 7/15 p. 436 war from heaven brings peace to earth ***.

  men can spray a field with chemicals that kill weeds but spare crops; too bad they cannot spray cities with bombs that blow the bad to bits but leave the innocent intact..

  One thing about this site that bothers me

  by keyser soze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the constant references to 'window washers' as something derogatory.. i understand the context of it-that most jws are uneducated, and unqualified to do much more.

  but sometimes the references seem snobbish, almost mean-spirited.

  one poster, on another thread, essentially referred to window washers as 'losers'.

  Someone needs to wash windows, and do other hands-on jobs. Can't have a world without them, so I admire people who do those jobs as well.

  this has come up before but we ran in to an old guy from the hall over the weekend and he confirmed a few things about the change of edmonton venue this year.

  i'd mentioned this old fellow, too.

  a rare friend from the kingdom hall, a real character, and i genuinely miss him.

  Every time am assembly comes up, we're always told to stay within the assembly and parking lots, and to not go out and eat and later come back. I think one of the places I go for the conventions use to have a place where they sold food but stopped doing that years ago. The food thing could be one reason why they left.

  Where Can I Find a Map Of a Congregation's Territory?

  by Space Madness in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is there anywhere i can find a map of each congregations territory.

  preferably congregations in cities such as new york, philadelphia, and washington d.c. since the elder's manual and confidential letters are online i figure this has to exist somewhere as well..

  My old hall has maps of the territory of each congregation there, in the rooms of the back of the hall, but the one I go to now doesn't have any. The only ones who probably have access to that information are those in the upper ranks, elders, CO's and such.
