What is the most objectionable thing you have heard off the platform?
by restrangled ini know many have quoted ridiculous statements from the assemblies etc., i just wonder what irked you most off of the platform in your own kh.. the one that sticks out in my mind was when we had a guest speaker on a sunday for the public talk.
i don't remember the theme but his main point was the starving people in africa did not need food.
he stated they needed spiritual food and would opt for that over a meal because they realize they could eat in the new order and there was no need to send any donations directly.

Back from Germany...
by Toronto_Guy inon thursday i got back from germany, after having spent a week...was only planning to attend 2 world cup games, but ended up getting to 5 (bought some tickets outside the stadiums!
)...its a very cool country, lots of history, travelled to hamburg, frankfurt, cologne, nuremburg, berlin and leipzig...of course the atmosphere is amazing right now with the world cup, fans from all over the world.... the only drawback was passing a kingdom hall in hamburg...something like "jehovah zugen"...lol...but i bought a big canadian flag and wore it around, even though canada is not in the world cup!
it was nice to be able to do that, something i could never have done before as a jw...also got a bit drunk one night, that was fun too...its not always easy to have lost family, but its amazing to have the freedom to do things i never could before.... nice to be back and reading everyone's posts again..

To all you apostates in England...question...
by Toronto_Guy inits a bit of a long shot, but about 17 years ago, when i was around 11, i travelled with my father to england.
we attended a district convention in jersey, channel islands.
met some witnesses there, but can't remember most names.

'I could easily kill someone' said the P.O.
by lowden ininspired by one of the other threas on todays board i was remindedof what the po of my 'then' cong' said just befors i left for good.. can't remember what the subject was but he ended up quite proudly announcing.....'if jehovah asked me to.....i would have no trouble killing someone, i would find it easy'!!
stunned silence.......this man is now a circuit overseer!
the phrase 'crazed extremist' comes to mind.. what was the most unbelievable, outrageous thing that was uttered in your earshot.
