The school was one of the few good things about meetings. In the two speech classes I took in college, I excelled because I was used to the exposure and the audience, knew the various points to watch for, had practice with audience contact, and basically breezed through the first one. The second, Business and Professional Speaking, branched out into other areas besides simple speechmaking, such as stand-up comedy, reading interpretation, and job interviews. But the society's TMS laid a fine groundwork.

19Theocratic Ministry School change
by Nosferatu ini heard recently that the theocratic ministry school has been modified.
instead of giving the student's grade from the platform, it will now be done in private.
did they finally realize that telling the student that he's getting a "w" is humiliating him, or is there scriptural reasoning for this change?

Living in a dangerous world
by JH ina few years ago, i watched a tv program saying that nuclear bombs were missing from the former soviet union's arsenal.
they call them suitcase bombs, since they can fit in a suitcase or backpack.
today, i read an article that stated the same thing, but they are quit sure now that bin laden has a few of these in his possession.

I work in the heart of downtown Dallas, Syn, on the 24th floor of one of those buildings that shape the skyline. If they take out Dallas I will be floating molecules.

Watchtower Society responds to Diane Wilson
by SYN inanother handy link stolen from jwzone, which, needless to say, put a ridiculous pro-dub spin on it.... .
and if armageddon is close, then paradise -- relief from sickness, disease and suffering -- is close.
so it's not to scare someone.

And perhaps in our enthusiasm, we spoke of the possibility that it could come in a particular time period.
Waddiamean, "perhaps"? Did you, or didn't you?

Revenge, should I or shouldn't I.............
by Delite2k inhey everyone, i haven't been here in a while, but i thought i'd drop by say hello and ask a silly question.
i still think about my ex (a jw) still, but i'm also angry with him for hurting me emotionaly and somewhat spiritualy.
(you can read my old post under this name to get an idea of what i talked about before) i feel like i want to get him back for the way he's made me feel.

Somebody said, "The best revenge is to live a good life." Maybe not always, but in this case I think it fits. As long as you're thinking about and acting because of things that guy did, he still has control in your life. Time to boot him out of your head and get on with living for yourself.

I think these people who want world domination at any cost, must be destroyed now
I believe the terrorists would tell you that's what they're trying to do.

I heard this a year ago. No nuked cities yet, but I suppose it's possible. To me it's kind of like the possibility of getting hit by a meteorite: there's not a thing I can do about it, and worrying is pointless. If it happens, it happens. If Dallas gets nuked, I reckon I won't know what hit me. If the US government topples and anarchy reigns, it probably won't be two weeks before we're all killing each other over things like canned food and the remaining water in the toilet tanks and hot water heaters of our houses.
Keep your weapons in working order, and hope for the best.

Ex Elders Aren't The Only Jerks With Attitudes
by minimus ina lot of people that weren't elders show why they became witnesses in the first place.
they complain about the attitude of former elders but they never look at their own crappy attitudes.
maybe, it's because being a jerk has nothing necessarily to do with being a former elder.

We all knew what you meant, OFC. I wasn't getting in a dig, just having fun with words. It's a favorite pastime and I am incapable of passing up an opportunity.

Yes tell a man he will be a princess and don't you think all of a sudden he feels oh boy I am going to be a somebody.
Actually, I think "prince" would be more appealing. At least, to most...
