A good old fashioned book burning
by iggy_the_fish inhulloo all,.
to cut a very long and oft told story (on boards like this at any rate) very short, i was partially raised a jw (tho' never baptised), and now i've reached the stage where my very modest collection of dub literature must be disposed of.
it's lived in a box in attics and high shelves in various houses for the last 12 years during which time i've been sh*t scared to go near it, but equally scared to get rid of it for fear of seriously pissing off his almightyness up in the heavens.. well, over the past year i've been through a few of the usual "eye openers", coc & the gentile times thingumygig whatsit doodah, and evolution books too.

So Has Anyone Got A Joke For HL Then?
by Englishman in3 times a year, at the end of every college term, her ladyship likes to have a joke to tell at the end of term party.
normally softly spoken and amiable, she likes to have a well rehearsed, totally original joke to tell at the party, the more raucous the better as far as she is concerned.
in fact, she has become something of a legend now, so that she is already being asked if she has her joke sorted out for xmas, so good at the telling of them is she.. the problem is, that this terms joke, whilst being exceedingly funny, does require the use of a welsh accent.

by Pleasuredome inheres a story of what happened to me at a district convention this year.. an unbaptised publisher and i travelled to wolverhampton district convention in england.
this wasnt our district but id been on holiday and had missed my own district convention (how unspiritual of me).
so me and this friend decided to go to this convention and was also hoping to meet a friend there.. on the saturday morning we were delayed in traffic and we eventually arrived at 11.30am, paid our 3 for parking (i wonder if they had the use of car parks for free?

What the Mob Could Teach The Watchtower
by metatron ini was reading an account of the decline of the new york mob in usa today and found some .
parallels with the watchtower.. too much publicity and exposure: the 'teflon don' liked his armani suits and media.
presence - but this intensified the attention his organization received from authorities.. older, wiser leaders ( carlo gambino) realized that keeping a low profile was important.. the end of 'omerta' - mob figures used to maintain a code of silence but this started.

Strange Ways
by link inthere have been numerous recent threads about the level of psychiatric illness amongst the jw fraternity.
does anyone have any stories about the way in which this manifested itself with people in their congregations?.
i remember the brother who was found by the police in the early hours of the morning wandering about in the local park.

Thoughts on the Columbine Tragedy
by SYN inhope the word "columbine" is spelled right in this post .
today i read an article on rense.com (an excellent website for all conspiracy theorists) where a parent was moaning about mtv, and the influence it was having on american children and other children.
apparently, mtv is bad for your morals or something.
