today's Kingdom Hall experience
by Cygnus inwent to my grandfather's funeral service at the kingdom hall today.
two or three minutes were spent on grandfather, and the rest on the bible, jehovah, how sin makes our bio cells degenerate, etc.
etc.. fortunately, i'm well past the stage of anger at the witnesses for shoving their religious beliefs down my throat.

Grandfather died
by Cygnus inand now there is a debate between my father and his sister whether there should be a memorial service at the kingdom hall.. is there a rule whereby an elder who gives a memorial service at a kingdom hall must use the society's outline?
because my father and my grandmother have made it quite clear that he under no circumstances do they want that.
(i'm very blessed to have jw family who do not shun me even with the long hair (yes it is growing back), earring, and, oh yeah, disfellowshipment).

Prince is definitely a JW
by Cygnus inthis is the absolute best confirmation that i have seen so far, proving that prince is a jw for sure.
i found this on the viewaskew website (news site for kevin smith, writer and director of clerks, dogma, and jay and silent bob strike back).. "fielding numerous 'are you high on the set' queries with patience and charm, he used the questions as a jumping off point for many personal anecdotes.
one of the highlights being a forty-minute tale on being invited to prince's paisley park to talk about filming something for prince, and ending up staying there a week filming a documentary about 'the truth' about jehovah, that 'will never see the light of day.'".

Who wrote this stuff?
by Cygnus ini don't feel like i am a mindless robot and i resent the implication.. most jws try their sincere best when it comes to practising godly devotion, but isn't the 1000 yr. reign supposed to unroot all our bad tendencies?.
here in new york and across the usa racial tensions between 'blacks and whites' are very strong.
for some of that to spill into our brotherhood is natural.

Cath. Encyclopedia agrees with WT re 607
by Cygnus inunder the heading "babylonia".
at first nabuchodonosor ii began a small guerilla warfare against jerusalem; then, in 607 b.c., he dispatched a considerable army, and after a while began the siege in person.. can any apostate tell me what's wrong with this quote?
