Do you make active witnesses uncomfortable?
by pratt1 inthis weekend my wife and i visited with another couple, who although they are inactive, they also invited active witinesses to the their home along with us.
we knew most of the people there and they are aware that we are inactive - no big deal.
however there was one brother who did not know that were are inactive.

Prats with microphones
by Jonty Parkin inin your congregation, did you ever have macho-wannabes on the microphones, strutting up and down the aisles handling the mikes as though they were aka assault rifles?.
we had a few tossers like this.
in fact, i might even have been one of them.... jonty

OK you New Yorkers, WHERE ARE YOU!
by jst2laws ini know there are some new yorkers here.
you are well represented by franklin j, blueblades (i think), and homey.
what i can't understand is new york is, to me, the archetype of independent thinking - individuality.

I just became a Return Visit (!)
by simon17 inbeen sick all week and for the first time i had jw's visit me since i left (actually the second time, but the first time it was just two people who asked "are you turkish" and left when i said no lol.
very strange).
anyway, since i had no voice and little strength i just let them go through their presentation with a smile, took the mags, and that was it.

"Read the bible daily"
by veen incorrect me if i'm wrong, but i used to think that on one of the brooklyn bethel buildings there used to be a big sign saying, "read god's word the bible daily", or something along those lines.
well i went there recently and i saw a big sign saying, "read the watchtower and awake!
" not necessarily daily though, that was not specified.
