Arrive early before he does. Order 1 french fry. (Not a plate full, just one) When he comes, take it and slowly eat it in front of him. Do not say a word. Then when done chewing tell him you are sorry he didn't come when you expected him, get up, thank him for coming but you have to go, and leave with the check in your hand. Tell him you'll see him in six months.

This Generation.
by objectivetruth inmatthew 1:1 is called "the book of the generation" - everything in matthew refers to this same generation.. similar terminology can be seen in genesis 5:1 " this is the book of the generations of adam.
when god created man, he made him in the likeness of god.
" all of the descendants mentioned in genesis 5 cover a time period of 1656 years.. another example of this type of generation, reference can be seen in genesis 37 "v.2 these are the generations of jacob.".

I am sure before much longer "This Generation" will signify those who see the events of this October. We all know its The kingdom's anniversary and Jesus is sure to put on one celestial shindig! Don't hold your breath. I just dont know why people care about this subject, its like debating whether unicorns live in candy houses or on a cloud. Move on.

I was a door-to-door magazine salesman...but I didnt know it!
by Londo111 inboth jws and former jws dont seem to remember that up until 1990, jws sold magazines, books, and brochures from door to door.
you went to either the magazine or the literature counter and bought publications that you were going to sell.
pioneers would get a slight discount.

I stopped asking for money years before they decided to change to the "voluntary donation arrangement". I felt like a magazine salesman and was never comfortable. One CO even said that most publishers presentation of the "Live Forever" book went like this, "Big red book, pretty red book, $1.00 book, want one?" Ew.

Looking Back, Are You Embarrassed By Your Attitudes, Speech, Actions as a JW?
by minimus ini think of how judgmental we were as witnesses.
"worldly ones" were almost as bad as disfellowshipped ones but not as bad as "apostates"..

Another night, another JW dream
by MrMonroe insuch a ripoff when you dream you're back at the damn meetings.
i once dreamed a local (rather liberal-minded) elder, jack hoogendoorn, was smoking a cigar while he was giving a talk on the platform.. last night i was back there again: one elder who suddenly decided he was going to be "encouraging" gave me the latest stats on baptisms, while someone else i was meant to go witnessing with was not-so-subtly probing me about how many magazines i'd been placing lately.
i chose not to tell them i had decided against placing mags any more.

I had a dream last night, oddly enough, and there was a "car group" coming to our house. My dad said, "oh great, here they are". I said, "no problem I'll handle it." They came to the door and clearly were new in the cong cause I hadn't seen them before. They started in on how selfish people are and not caring about others. I countered with, "well, I have found that most people I dealt with in business were actually very supportive and kind." Then they went on the bash the world in general. I countered with, "I think that society goes through cycles just like people do. Its immature and harsh when a new generation starts to take over and kinder when they get some life experience. It has always been that way." They were not happy and left. Now that's a dream come true!

Did anyone mention that they lost a lawsuit over molestation for millions? Like 28 million or so to Candace Conti? Check it out. Can't believe no one mentioned it.

The Governing Body told two Elders to call !!!!
by Phizzy ina friend from the other end of the country just 'phoned and told me that a couple of days ago two elders knocked on his door.
he has been out for four or more years.. they told him it was c.o's visit, and the governing body have asked them to call on those whom they no longer see at the k.hall.. i guess this is an easier "field" than knocking on doors that never open, or where they are told "not interested".. my friend bill though, was not such an easy call.
apparently he managed to get in about 1914 being rubbish, the bible not being the word of god, because we cannot trust it, 1919 being rubbish as to the choosing of the fds and several other telling points.. i liked particularly that he said to them they were rather hypocritical asking householders to examine their faith, when jw's were simply not allowed to !.
