  Has there been any new development with this idea, or could it just be a rumor ?

  Strange leaders in the hall?

  by lancelink in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was thinking about an ms from my hall in the early 90's.. he worked as little as possible, never made an effort to live up to the standards that the wt states are for any ms, but his brother was the service overseer, (the good old boys club.

  in action ) and he had some of the most amazing,weird theories!.

  out in service he would tell everyone how the us government was preparing holding areas for anyone who questioned the government.. sort of like the japanese camps from ww 2.. did you just see a black helicopter ??

  Did you just see a black helicopter ?? That is one of the signs proving my story he would say.

  There was a divoriced single sister (32) who married a mentally disturbed young boy at the hall (18)

  She got DFed, pregnant, and divoriced all within one year,

  her dad was a millionare he paid the guy something like 40,000 to leave and never come back,,,,man what a story that was!

  Anyway, I was out in service once with her, and she saw a helicopter, she pulled off the road, got on the floor with her kids, started crying and babbled on about "there coming to get us now, the end is almost here.

  ( I was thinking more about the song from the 60's" their coming to take me away he he to the funny farm.)

  Anyway, this upstanding brother gets df'ed and was totally immersed in his theories the last I heard

  what are the worst rules you've ever heard being dispensed from the platform?

  "christians do not dance to ymca, as it promotes homosexuality.

  "hairstyles that defy gravity also defy joe hoobie.

  One PO stated that we should NEVER EVEN think about watching the movie Schindlers List,

  ( since it was R, and many people were curious about it because many of the situations in the movie actually happened to witnesses.)

  I remember some yearbook and wt stories that were 10 times more graphic than the movie ever was.

  Nope, JW's should not see it.

  I went with my wife the next day in broad daylight to see it.

  i have been following the wt's latest stand on higher education.. yet it seems that i am hitting statementsoff and on under different topics/.

  this latest bit of news i find to be very backwards thinking, in fact if it is true it would hasten my fade considerably, since i really believe.

  kids these days need college.. could the statements,forms, and replies be true?.

  Some solid info. here would be mighty helpful !

  And if so,does anyone have an estimate as to any timeline as to when would this be broadcast to the everyday witnesses?

  i'm pretty sure this has been covered before, but i don't remember the explanation.

  this weekend 2 very obviously jw ladies were in my neighborhood.

  when they came to my door, the leader said they were with a "volunteer group" looking for those who knew asl or needed the service.. i asked what kind of volunteer group.

  I know several persons who are studying sign language, and to really
  become proficient in it they are going to
  (imperial march theme here please)
  
  College
  
  Guess that they will have to live with the fact that they will not be considered
  for appointments in their congregation now.
