Were you ever a victim of jealousy?
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inwere you ever a victim of jealousy in the congregation?
j-dubs love to portray their gatherings as a "spiritual paradise", while in truth and in fact they're actually more like a "cain and abel" sitcom.

Advertising campaign for District Conventions
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inthings must really be bad.
usually the advertisement for the district conventions are a few lines long, but this year they've laid it on as thick as ever!
witnesses invite all to "follow the christ".

New Watchtower conductor guidelines
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inhinging on an earlier thread on this topic; here's a quotation from the text of the letter to all elders:.
"the kingdom ministry school textbook emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation on the part of the study conductor.
but this does not mean that he should introduce additional material from his own personal research and thus possible overshadow what has been published in the magazine.

Did you ACTUALLY do this?
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inas part of your "dedication and baptism" did you actually go to jehovah in prayer and "dedicate" your life to him prior to your baptism?
at the time when the elders were reviewing the "questions" with me, i hadn't a clue that i was supposed to do this until one of them asked directly.
i answered in the affirmative anyway ... wanting the incessant questioning to be over as quickly as possible.

Why is it ...
by Frequent_Fader_Miles ini might be a fader, but my question still stands.
why is it that i can marry a perfectly decent "worldly" man - good provider, never married, no children, generous ... yet i'm "marked"; while another "sister" can wait out for a presently "married" brother who admits he loves her, claims his marriage is problematic, claims he's getting a divorce ... and no one bats an eyelid?
do they really believe the stupid "jw tag" is sooooo valuable?

the dictionary categorizes "meat" as the "flesh of any animal, especially a mammal".
chicken and turkey are considered meats, though they aren't mammals.

Michael Jackson as a JW ...
by Frequent_Fader_Miles indo you believe that the jw factor in michael jackson's life contributed in any way to him being a misfit of sorts?.
i'm wouldn't describe myself as a fan of his, but sometimes i just feel so sorry for the poor guy.. and now it's even worse!
he's responsible for children who're probably thinking that it's everyone else who's weird!
