My cousin wedding: Her dad paid quite a bit of money to have a nice reception.
but they were not prominent in the cong. JW's rsvp'd but didnt show. It was quited sad
my uncle was really mad about it.
we went to oz for a wedding of a brother and sister from the sydney bethel.
it was the most bizzare wedding of all time, the cake was a multi coloured telitubby creation and the veggie food option was baby octopus and squid, the alcohol was free flowing and all bethelites in attendance took full advantage.
we were sat listening to the speaches and it was getting rowdier and rowdier and some of the language was rather unscriptual to say the least, as it was mixed jw and non jw we were surprised to find that all of this noise came from the bethelites.

here is your chance to complain.. what is really bothering you and what would you like to see happen?.
go on, let it out; let it all out.
i'm tired of people talking about taxes. i hate this time of year! taxes taxes taxes..... where is my w2....all the stupid
"we got your back" HNR block comercials. I HATE IT! if i hear the word tax one more time i'm going to scream.
seems like work to me....... doing the microphones, manning the magazine counter, spending countless (sorry, counted) hours every month knocking on doors.. privileges?.
miseryloveselders.....did you go to my congregation? I love it! i love being able to look back on it and laugh till i cry and i think wow!
how come i didnt see how stupid it all was. You're right these young ones now are like screw that...

oh no! you just brought back a memory
i was at the assembly and i was with some friends who decided to sign up to volunteer. I went along so i could get up and not have to be
in my seat falling asleep. So we got toilet paper duty. we had to put rolls of tissue in all the bathrooms. my friends acted as if someone gave them a gold ticket they were so frantic and happy and pleased. I thought something was wrong with me. I didnt mind putting tissue in the bathroom but i just didnt see why it was such a big deal. sisters rarely get to do anything besides fieldservice and kingdom hall cleaning....so they were so thrilled that the brothers were giving them instructions on how to put the toilet paper in the bathroom. In the back of my mind I knew it was stupid but being a dub i just smiled like the rest. In fact single sisters( in my cong.) would always act all giddy and frantic if they had some type of interaction with brothers especially if they got some type of instructions... i think it gave them a glimpse of being married.
i'm new here and probably missed the latest discussion of the beard topic.
what's the latest on beards in jw society?
i'm 2 weeks into a beard and just got to wondering about it.
a long time ago someone on here stated that the brothers in the hall looked like porn
stars with those thick mustaches. it does look weird. either a bro has a bald face or a thick
mustache.
my worst field service experience was this.. i didn't have a car at the time and so a pioneer sister was picking me up of service every couple of days.
she was my partner and i got a door where the woman was clearly not interested.
as i am stepping away the pioneer sister starts in with all the objection stoppers.
I tried preaching to two men from the Nation of Islam (you know the brothers with the bow ties and the Final Call papers)
I got ripped to shreds, they told me that a white devil started my religion and as a black sister i should be ashamed of myself.
i wanted to click my heals three times like dorothy in the wizard of oz and be home. at the time i didnt know anything about jw
history. They knew everything. The next time i ran into them (different ones) i was with a bro from the hall. I kept trying to tell him
to just leave them alone but noooo he had to try to give them the good news. They ripped him to shreds. I kept quiet and stared down
the street.
this is a true story, more than 10 years ago, i went to the memorial and there was a very hot bible student female.
we met each other, she gave me her phone number.
.
an elder asked me how i was doing
I said "i'm cool"
i got counseled for using a slang word.
so it appears that jws are letting their freaky side come out on fb for everyone to see.. there was talk on the ca yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of jehovah to delete their fb accounts.
the talk was solely about fb.
the speaker mentioned that jws are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative.
i'm with you cry...FB is mostly family members sharing pictures and work mates sharing their daily activities...it's all quite G rated most times
a bit boring. it's just a way to keep in touch with distant family and friends and to know that they are o.k...check out the lastest pictures
of nieces and nephews. the most intimate i've ever seen was a person sending a heart...oooh aint that sexy. bunch of goofies. i had a few
jw facebook friends that would go on and on about field service and etc...i bet no one knew what they were talking about anyway.
i ve just read the blog asking what sort of man a woman wants!
i am fed up in this world that men don't stand up and start letting the sisters in the world know what we really need.
lets take the game to them!!.
ok i'm a woman but this is my opinion
1. sex
2. a good sandwich with an ice cold soda or beer
3. someone that doesnt talk much
4. someone that will allow them to watch sports, play video games or any other
hobby without interupting or talking during the process.
5. someone who will laugh at their jokes
6. someone who won't try to change them (men actually like themselves the way they are)
men are simple...we would love for them to be complicated and try to make them complicated
but they are not. i don't think this applies to all men but i believe it applies to most :)
as long as they're redefining words like "generation" in ways that suit themselves, they should just go whole hog.
announce that armageddon occured invisibly and we're now living in paradise.
everything's done, go home, shut down the printing presses.
They actually did that some years ago...they started saying that we are living in a "spiritual paradise"
and if you as a faithful jw wanted to really enjoy it that you needed to heed all the counsel given.
