Hi Guys, I'm new here...

been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.

for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.

abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.

Give me some examples of 'good lawyers'.

by LogCon in

for some strange reason when i previously asked to give me examples of how evil attorneys are and then reworded to give me examples of evil lawyers, many misinterpreted that i was labeling all lawyers as evil.

i simply asked a question.

i did not state or imply anything.. now, without labeling all lawyers as good, what examples do you have of 'good lawyers'?.

A deaf mute guy was working for the mob he had been squirreling away money and the don caught up with him. He got the mobs lawyer who could sign language to demand, "Wheres the money!" and the don got out his gun.

The deaf and mute guy signed back "its in the kitchen behind a false panel."

"Well" said the don to the lawyer,"What did he say"

"Go the hell, you get nothing".

Lawyers dont you love 'em.

Television should be turned off three nights a week.

Kids could attend their home work.

people could ...read.

and all could go to bed without their minds stuffed with inane dramas.

With the jw penchant to ban/deny/warn off everything not approved i was amazed at thenumber of jw who went to see that show. Its about fornication, prostitution, crazy religion (!) the devil gets a mention and disrespect for the dead. all abit like life in general.

Actually i remember enjoying the show.

Like a long weekend comes up but the wife says "Honey do you...?" and that is the end of the weekend.

ABS. re time records.

The wt in South Africa would readily hand to the then govt such records as a goad to move/force/prod brothers to more field service.

If they showed low hours (commitment) they were destined for induction into the army.

I wonder if the wts would be so keen in these other countries to hand over jw's records if asked so the govts could re-determine whether the individuals were entitled to social welfare for being unemployed.

Imagine the headlines.!

A few International Conv instructions (more ways to control)

by doinmypart in

a few official instructions jw delegates are being told leading up to the international conventions.

congregation secretaries are holding conference calls and then relating the instructions to the congregation.. atlanta - do not drive to convention, parking will not be available.

take public transportation; attendants will be on all public transit and able to assist.. dallas - attendants will be on site at all hotels to make sure delegates leave the hotel at their assigned times and take their assigned route.

I have seen families eating fast food and lettuce for meals but their mum had $$ for pioneering.

A couple with one little one didnt get back to their chosen accomodation until 8-30pm while attending tha last big Sydney convention. This was caused by crowds that couldnt /wouldnt move overloaded transport.

I can only wonder where the 'elite 'were at that time.
