  Am I alone in this phenomenon? I told my son and he laughed. He had a kingdumb song stuck in his head too!! and was getting a bit cut about it. I told him to listen to ACDC Thunderstruck, then hum a few bars, until it stuck....much better.
  
  .......God save our gracious queen, long live our noble queen, god save the queen....sent her victorious, happy and glorious....long to reign over us, god save the queen!
  Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright........
  
  These used to give me nightmares too, not any more, I can join in if I want to!!! yay

  What's the BIGGEST LIE you ever heard?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  .

  someone i knew stood up at the convention to answer her two baptism questions both with a "yes".

  she was having an affair with a married brother at the time.. but i'd top my 'biggest lie' list with four small words; "in the beginning, god"

  I wouldnt say it was the biggest by far, butr locally it was significant. We had a golden boy, ex bethelite and a representative of the rbc move in. Well the elders had to move him up the ranks fast, so that he was the PO in five minutes of arriving.
  He used to bring the "love" of congos he used to visit on his vacations.
  So he brings us the love of blah blah and everyone claps and thinks he is wonderful, except we knew someone who lived there and they hadn't seen him or his precious wife at their meetings at all!!

  how many times did the chairman at the meetings address the whole cong as "brothers" where you are?

  one [note... one of many] of my peeves was this one guy in particular would always address everyone there as brothers, whether the wore skirts of not.

  now brothers, yes that includes the brothers in skirts with long hair and earings..... .

  restrangled....momofmany.......
  Yes it IS pathetic. The attitude goes all the way back, at least to rutherford if not russell.
  So what about sitting in the "book" study [yes with the aid of the bible] and having to listen to some dimwit read..if you can call it that [his wife whispering the words to him] and just because he is a "brother" the sisters who can read way better having to stomach it???!!!
  BTW thanks for the replies.

  ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.......
  
  
  I went up to him and said that there are sisters here too you know!! He looked at me like I was stupid, smartened up for about one minute then went back to calling the women brothers too. Maybe some of them has stuff we didn't know about......you know...external, dangling genitalia.
  
  
  The ways some elders wives behave, maybe it is true?

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ........................at my last meeting, the elder was talking about 1975 and said "it never happened, it is appostates using a time when (some) brothers took the info in the wt wrong"...................i just blinked and finally woke up.. i had been on this site lurking for a couple of weeks, and realized thing werent right, but to have some creep say on the platform " it didnt happen"............when this ruined my and my siblings childhood, just made me snap.

  on the way home, i told my hubby "that was the last meeting im going to"................boy was he pleased.. .

  so if you didnt get df ......................what happened at your last meeting.?.

  Just over a year ago. Went to the BS and had to endure the conductor saying that all the people who were in a tv program about child abuse/pedo's in the dubs were apostates and liars.
  I disagreed with him in front of the whole group. Got up, spat out a bit more and left!!!!!
  I love my "free" time. About One and a half days a week.

  What's Your Favorite Brand of Beer?

  by tfsm in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know this is slightly off-topic but i find alot of the discussion here somewhat depressing and most of it is far too cerebral for me.

  i (obviously) live in america and i'm a big fan of beer.

  light, dark, lager, ale, whatever.

  young people ask ' how can i help those in need?

  We had yard sales.....to raise funds for the kh. Nothing wrong with it so long as the cong officially didnt sanction it. ALL the elders were involved and they raised heaps!!
  Some of the stricter pharasees need to get a life. If you dont raise some outside funds, it all has to come from the R&F.....poor little sheep...baaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

  Governing Body member Gerrit Lösch spoke at my District Convention

  by under_believer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  gerrit losch (it's pronounced kinda like "lirsh") did two things at our dc (portland, or june 30-july 2).

  he released the new book about the minor prophets, and he gave the closing talk, the one with the resolution in it.

  first of all, losch was not promoted to the governing body because of his speaking ability.

  Wasn't it the GB's resolution that they were telling the R & F about? Like they are setting an example for all. Why does the audience have to say "aye" when they [gb] are supposed to be the ones to say "aye"? [that "aye" thing was and is and always will be very corney]
