Cunningman-
Women in white gloves turn me on. This could signify "interest".
manuscript talk - denim is bad - then a whole item on low cut tops, tight clothing, long slits etc - and bra straps showing (you can not make this shit up) is also bad.
last but one item - desperate need for brothers to reach out - cant form congregations if brothers dont reach out.

wings- no really, the one with the kicking feet - maybe he should have read the board's comments this week on leg cramps. The chick in the chair with the shakes, looks like the former St. Cloud, Florida piano player (before they sold the building to a Pentecostal Church...)
I thought I saw Ted on the ground doing the rug.
i recall reading long ago (so long ago i don't recall where) that someone asked judge rutherford why his office at bethel, brooklyn had an air conditioning unit while the workers in the printing factory below had to work in the heat.. rutherford's answer was that the air conditioning unit was a gift!.
does anyone also recall reading this?.
wouldn't rutherford feel a little guilty about enjoying cool air while the people downstairs were working all day under hot and humid conditions?.
Thanks for including the Moyle letter. Every JW should get a copy of the letter, as well as former JWs. The Judge needed the AC for when the sweats kicked in from the beer and scotch. What a pig of a man!
okay, how many of you got to the convention site nice and early so that you could get the best seats on the house?.
having met in yankees stadium (difficult for me as i'm a mets fan) i always made sure i was in the shade.
hey someone had to come in early and make those watchtower hoagies (by the way, i never washed my hands).
The last shall be first, and the first shall be last. Judge a neighbor, df a brother, run over a sister for a seat, mow down a family in the parking lot - all in a day's preaching and teaching.
(thanks a@g for reformatting) .
bro.
--- had a part on service meeting.
Moses would not be allowed into a K.H. "Come back when you clean up, and then keep quiet." Meanwhile the BOE would meet, and have a BIG MEETING whether they should turn in the murderer, and get some Judas silver.
imagine sitting thru the watchtower study on a sunday with your 6 year old and 9 year old kids....the topic "fornication" the discussion explains how oral sex and touching of genitals is still fornication...why do kids have to sit thru this??
or the bible reading is about lot having sex with his daughters....this type of thing is not for kids!
and why should kids be forced to sit quietly while someone drones on for 2 hours?.
How else can you teach a 12 year old to be an excellent shunner, or a 14 year old a judge, or a 20 year old an elder? You have to school people to be little jerks so they can become grown jerks. Teach them porneia and gehenna and they'll understand the JC process.
could pioneers better spend their time instead of putting in hours?
As a former pioneer ... what a waste of time; as Farkel said, peddling their crap. Being out there was a successful way of polarizing oneself from the world, made us and them more concrete. That's where the cool aid comes in.
Shopaholic - totally agreed.
the other day, something occurred to me: the symbol of the watchtower is in my old kingdom hall's driveway, created with different coloured bricks.
it would be interesting to read of any other displays which show that the symbol of the watchtower is effectively held as sacred.
I buried my dog in a coffin shaped like a Watchtower, seeing that the dog always enjoyed pissing on the magazine's front cover. There's a guy (now in a commune for the criminally insane) who made cat and dog coffins like churches, a Watchtower was a piece of cake for him.
ok a couple of jws in my family have said this.. we were talking about usa politics and the comment was made "it doesn't matter who gets in....it will all result in the same outcome.
watch the lebanon!
" (jw gives a knowing look and emphasises the lebanon bit).
There has been a glut of Lebanese hash of late; maybe some Bethelites have been dealing on the side, and the elders wives are trying to spread the good news.
