women!
don't listen to jazz!.
"new orleans jazz has a primitive tom-tom rhythm that does a single woman's peace of mind no good, is one of the insane claims from the tower about the harmful jazz music.. the fact is - if you check up the writings of the tower - the only safe music is the "kingdom songs" - and those do kill your brain if you love music:-)) .
I know a recruited JW who got rid of most of his vinyl collection over three decades ago, then regretted it later.
I forget whether he burned it or sold it, but I remember that that was a major decision that he thought he had to make at the time and that he didn't offer me a chance to choose any of his collection and told me what he had done after it was gone. I still have all of my vinyl from that era and can still play it. Some of the vinyl that he got rid of was rare thirty years ago.
was talking with a gal that is most likely going back to the religion after 20 or 30 years.
we got into a discussion about having babies after "armageddon ".
she was talking about being normal ( she is practically bedridden but only in her 50's.
AFAIK it hasn't changed. When I was young, the resurrected didn't marry, so the best outcome was to stay alive til '75 so that you had a chance of a normal sex/married life, children, etc.. Second best was that your partner died, but you survived and could marry in the New World and make perfect babies. Third best, was that you died and were resurrected and were not able to marry anyone, including your ex partner, or even fiddle with their naughty bits, without being condemned to everlasting death.
I'm sure most older JWs have had this old doctrine drummed into them, the same as they tried to drum it into me, and now they have to find a way to deal with it in their last days.
can you remember the last big assembly you went to ?
by big--i mean bigger than a circuit job--so--district ?
whole country at a stadium thing.. my last one was old wembley stadium uk..about 1969 ?
I think it was in Melbourne around 1969/70, possibly the same series.
hi all.. i'm 42 years old.
i have had two jabs of the oxford-astrazeneca vaccine.. after my first jab i experienced flu-like symptoms - shivering, wanted to lie down in a dark room, etc.. i experienced no side effects after my second shot.. how about you?.
how many jabs have you had?.
Fully vaxed with Pfizer.
No reaction
None of my vaxed friends have had a significant reaction.
The end was so close that there wasn't enough time for me to 'fulfill a career', but I've been retired for a few years now and loving it, courtesy of the welfare system provided by 'This Wicked System of Things' that Dad loved to bash, but that looked after him and Mum very well in their later years.
i also was intrigued by the russellites and the break away sects that formed before and after charles taze russell.
i can only imagine what the bible students were thinking when rutherford became the next watchtower president..
It was their early history that set off my alarm bells and stopped me getting baptised as a teenager.
i have noticed as of late that google searches are heavily filtering searches and shopping.
i know they keep track and monitor your activity but when i can not find things or articles because they don't fit googles bs naritive its time to leave.
duck duck go is my replacement.
I mostly use Duck Duck Go, but when I don't get a clever result I try Google and often find what I wanted fairly quickly.
Recently, I haven't been very impressed with the results from Duck Duck Go and I'm wondering why their search results are not displaying what I really want to find as high on their list as they used to be. I want resuts on the first page, not the third,
just an odd thought i guess.
i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.
i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?
If I'd been manufactured out of a rib a few hours, days, weeks ago, and could only comprehend language spoken by two other entities, a talking snake would seem more like a friend than an aberration, especially one with legs.
hi friends ,.
is it just me or do others on this forum like to know where posters are from ?

There was an interactive map here years ago. I miss it, but...
I have spent time in S.E.Qld in the Redcliffe and Margate congs.
Many years ago, I was contacted by a nutter from Redcliffe through this forum, so you do have to be very careful about what info. you put out there.

*** Black Sheep fetches the popcorn***
I would have heard the New Zealand version of that talk. It was probably the same transcript worldwide.
