  by JeffT in

  2. humour

  my wife (a blonde) told this one to our son and i yesterday, knowing we'd find it really funny.. .

  a blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.

  the blonde cop asked to see the blonde driver's license.

  Blonde is not a hair color! It's a mental condition!

  My poor mom in law, (a very wonder person) was saying today how she had always wondered hiw the work was going to be done in China, and other countries like it. Then she said thst jw.borg was taking care if all of that. She got pretty upset, when I pointed out, that less than 1 in 4 have access to the Internet, (last info I heard on that) and thst India was pretty clise to thst as well!

  this summer i saw on the bulletin board of a specific kh a strange letter, the info of which i'd like to share with you.. it came not from the gb or the branch office, but from the local evangelizers school.

  what it said was roughly this:.

  because they want to enrich the school's library, they ask from the brothers in the region (i.e.

  Watchtower In The Window

  by watson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every time i see this new "logo", jw.org, i'm taken back to the days in the late 60's and early 70's when we used to put a watchtower in the rear window of our cars when on the way to our vacation..er, i mean, the district convention (that's what they called it back then).

  then, some years later we were "admonished" to not put the watchtower in the rear window of our cars while on the way to the dc.. how long before they council the "friends" to not bring "undo" attention to the organization?.

  boring subject?

  I so remember those days. Sometimes we would have a small convoy of jw's traveling together. And if one pulled off, the others would follow, just in case there was a problem of some kind. I remember once getting to ride with another family, because they had 2 boys my age, and there sister rode in my car with my family and sister!

  Lots of fun memories from way back!

  GB, JW's and Politics

  by DwainBowman in

  2. beliefs

  you know something hit me one day, right after the summer ic.

  the gb says jw's aren't to be involved in politics, yet whenever there is a law that touches on them, they are quick to go to court.

  well the court is a part of the political system, and even more so when it comes to dealing with law's.

  At the summer RC/DC/IC whatever they want to call it. We were told not to even get upset or excited, over laws that could or would impact or lives, for the good or bad. Because that was taking sides in Politics!!

  Another case of do as i say, not as I do!!!!
  
  Just my take on it!

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't heard a peep about the 2014 annual meeting being shown worldwide (or at least across north america) like it was last year.

  they made a big deal with the am last year, congs had to get the projectors and screens for the showing, and we were told in advance of the time and location to attend.

  but i have heard absolutely nothing this year, at least here in canada.

  Children being baptised - Aid book v Insight book

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a pet peeve (major) is that of the gb pressuring kids to be baptized.. checking the aid book today and the following under baptism, no infant baptism.. virtually word for word between the books, except for the deletion of this paragraph:.

  "regarding the practice of infant baptism, the encyclopedia britannica, vol.

  I was baptized at 12. But I have been 100% against it, since I was about 20!
