What silly rules did your congregation make up?
by weinermcgee inelders were famous for making up stupid rules with no bible base at all as an ego trip i guess, what were some of yours?
i am not talking about the stupid rules that we all had to follow, just the congregation specific silly ones.. 1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut).
2. suits only or no privledges.

Sin pictures in What Does The Bible Really Teach
by Check_Your_Premises inone of my favorite things to do with any wt publication, is to look for the "sin" pictures.
they are always pretty funny, cartoony, and classic propaganda.
the knowledge book had some but it seemed to be toned down from the standard study book that preceded it (i can't remember the name).

The world the JW's detest...
by TD inhow many times have jw depictions of paradise shown cozy little gabled, shingled, lapsided, wood frame houses tastefully situated in front of mountain lakes without a hint of technology?
i've lost count.
i've always thought this picture betrays an unbelievable naivete about how technology works.

Do you hide you JW family's practice of shunning from non-JW family?
by kwintestal ini thought of this question as i've been talking to different family members about the situation with my parents and grandmother.
i wondered if they'd get upset by me telling other non-jw family members what was going on.
i recently told a family member in coventry who i'm sure will end up telling my grandmother's sisters.

remember apostates holding signs outside the convention?
by in a new york bethel minute ini remember there was one that used to go to my hall.
he would say hi to my dad and my dad would ignore him.
i know now that my father feels bad for that, but at the same time he had no choice.

The Brooklyn Protest-- Everyone read
by Junction-Guy ini spoke about 1/2 hour to shunned father on the phone last night, and he proclaims his innocence as regards to that beacon of truth post.
he is very much appreciative of the offers of help he has received, so please everyone, dont back out on this historic event because of a post that seemed offensive.
i will be disappointed if everyone were to pull out because of this.
