  The slimboyfat challenge...

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hope slim hasn't left the forum, ( again) but i noticed his last post was post 10,ooo which is quite an achievement and a great statistic to say " au revoir" on.

  ( yes i studied compulsory french at school, but " au revoir" is all i can remember so i may as well use it) .

  anyway now for the " slimboyfat" challenge, can anybody here name past or present posters that have made over 10,000 posts?

  Resolutions at Kingdom Hall

  by sieborg in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyhow i got to thinking today about my days in the borg and the resolutions that would intermittently be made in the announcements for co visit expenses, sending a donation to society www fund etc.

  my point is that while i was in (almost thirty two years) i never once saw anyone put up their hand to vote against a resolution that the body of elders proposed.

  on a couple of occasions i heard a few hushed murmurs but i never saw one person vote against.

  the only trick that still baffles me is when David Copperfield came out of some fish tank and started flying around all over the place, its clearly on a trick but I'd like to know how he does it

  Excellent Conversation At Literature Trolley

  by cofty in

  2. experiences

  yesterday my wife and i enjoyed one of our regular days out at edinburgh - movie, lunch, walk, meal etc.. in the late afternoon while mrs cofty went shopping i had an hour at the excellent museum of scotland and arranged to meet up outside the national gallery on princes street.

  on my way back i saw the jw trolley was at the usual spot on the royal mile.

  there was an older man and a young woman standing well back trying hard to look inconspicuous.

  funny how for all those years we'd have our "Reasoning" book ready,have pre made presentations in how to over come objections when speaking to people from other religions etc, now its just go to our website, I say to them that your website is clearly incomplete with UN membership, child abuse cover-ups, failed doctrines and no older publications seem to be available on it, the "Reasoning" book is well past it now, do they ever use it?

  My 14-year-old niece is being disfellowshipped

  by keyser soze in

  i was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.

  she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.

  it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .

  absolute heartless lunacy , hope she is supported and gets through it, no 14 year old should have to deal with such life changing issues like this

  Australia Branch to end magazine printing

  by no-zombie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just one week from the zone overseer's visit is the announcement that the magazine production by the australia branch will end in a few months.

  the task being transferred to the japan branch.

  while i'm not 100% certain, i understand that this effectively ends all major printing bar perhaps tracts, handbills and other loose items.

  amazing if true and would surely be the end of the Australian branch, so Japan would feed all of South East Asia and Australasia ,Selters to feed all of Europe and that just leaves Africa where I dont know where the printing is done, is there a large branch in The Congo? Mexico feeds all of South America I suppose?
