  If anyone went, or is from the DeKalb area, I have a relative who went that I'm curious about, Haven't seen him in years. He'd be in his early 60's now. You can PM me, if you don't mind. He mysteriously departed Bethel in the late 70's, and never married. Hmmm.

  OK, I am turning on WGN tv right now! Scanning the crowd... I love the Cubbies, and the nieghborhood too. Hubby and I attended the game the night Sammy Sosa broke the corked bat and got it on film.

  have you ever seen a congregation not raise enough hands to make a resolution pass?

  I remember an experience similar to tijkmo's. An obnoxious elder put it to a vote whether to buy new carpet for the Hall. He was red faced and sweating as the new carpet was narrowly approved. Why? Because he'd already gone ahead and bought the carpet, had it in storage, and his wife had picked out the color! He had really hustled up the votes before the meeting to make sure he got his way. He would've been out some money otherwise!

  WTS Running Out of Money? Letter to all congregations...

  by drew sagan in

  a few days ago my wife commented on a letter sent out to all congregations (in the u.s.a.?

  ) regarding donations.

  se said it was long and boaring, but in the end there where a few points she remembered.

  It was obvious all the time, but I never realized it, till LongHairGal posted this: The JW's actually have a paid clergy, just like the churches they bash, do! The crusty old coots in their suites with a view in Crooklyn are fully supported and fed, clothed and housed for free! Of course the crusty old coots don't want to lose that, so along comes another special need to advance the worldwide work, and another.

  What are the Dubs getting for their money? More refried beans books at assemblies, and the security of knowing these people are spewing forth Jehoopla's pearls of wisdumb as he whispers to them. Put them in a comfy nest, and they will tell you what's news from Jehoopla. Well worth feeding them for life, eh?

  Another example of how they are NOT different from the churches.

  A recent photo of my cat Oreo

  we brought his body home to bury on our property next to his brother cat that died about six or seven months ago.

  we think he had an aneurysm and that is why he went out so fast.

  he was a very sick kitty for six months.

  What Are Unwritten Rules & Understandings That "Good" JWs Will Adhere To?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jt, made a very good point in a different thread regarding how witnesses follow unwritten rules and understandings.

  for example, a witness may shun you----even though you're not disfellowshipped or disassociated.

  because they know you're leading an immoral life or that you smoke.

  Always purchase a four door Witnessing car, the frozen, Stepford smiles on the women, length of women's skirts and men's hair, not found anywhere in the Bible.
