The folks went out of town to the Russian District Convention.
by Lady Zombie inwhen the iron curtain fell in the 90's, my parents went to russia with a group of other jws.
since then, they've taught themselves russian and now go over about every 3rd year.
they also work the russian territory here once a month and spend about 10 hours traveling around in a 100 mile radius.

Heavy Metal monk Capuchin Friar Cesare Bonizzi!! RAWK ON!!!!
by Lady Zombie inplease tell me there are some other metal fans in here besides me!
some of you mentioned receiving flack from the elders because you listen to rap, but surely there has got to be some other rock n' roll and metal fans in here.
i still remember the flack i got for listening to 80's music, classic rock n' roll (loved jethro tull, doors, pink floyd, and so on), and worst of all.....heavy metal!

Satan is certainly a wiley devil! He came in the guise of Square Dancing!
by Lady Zombie inrecently a few threads have remarked upon how restrictive the jws have become in the last decade or so in terms of activities and the amount of freedom alloted to individuals.. well, i can ballpark estimate when it started in my area.
it was the mid to late 80's.
throughout most of the 80's, my congregation frequently had potlucks and days at the park when all the local congregations would gather for fellowship.. there was a lot of laughs, lots of grilling, and easy interactions with other jws.

"Taking care of a worldly friend isn't as important as the meetings!"
by Lady Zombie inmy best friend, who is *gasp* "worldly" had a semi-major surgery monday.
she had asked me if she could recooperate at my place.
it's nice and quiet at my place and besides, she knows i'll spoil her rotten.. yesterday (thursday) i had to take her to her doctor's for a post surgery check when i got off of work.

How much would you pay for fuel if.............
by Lady Zombie in.
hypothetically~.
how much would you be willing to spend on fuel if you knew that the high cost would definitely contribute to the fall of the wtbts, or at the very least, put a stop to field service?.

Unique but accurate observation about KHs from a "woldly" person
by Lady Zombie ini was out this weekend with a group of my "worldly" friends.
the majority of them don't know that i'd been a witness in the past, nor did they know that my family still is.. i'm not sure how we got on the subject of religions, but one guy asked, "what's the name of those people who don't have windows in their churches?".
several guesses were thrown out including amish and mennonites but he shook his head.

Worship of the Faithful and Discrete Slave?
by Lady Zombie init sure does seem like the wtbts is subtly edging jws towards actually worshipping the fds.
they're constantly reminding jws that all spiritual food is provided via the fds and how the wtbts are jehovah's chosen representatives.. and the nebulous hypothetical question that the wtbts has been asking of late of (paraphrased) 'will you accept and obey direction from the fds, no matter how strange it may appear?
' they insinuate that "in the last days," jws may be issued instructions that may, at first, appear to be outlandish, but that their very survival depends on it.. it was ominously mentioned at the last dc and was mentioned again several times in congregational meetings, especially during the book study which not surprisingly is the revelation book.. the first problem here is, the current gb, the very ones responsible for "providing food at the proper time" are not among the annoited.

The practice of "Shepherding Calls" (attention ex-elders)
by Lady Zombie inthe practice of "shepherding calls" has always been somewhat of a mystery to me.. growing up, a shepherding call was for jws who were doing something that a few/some/most (didn't matter which) found stumbling or suspicious.
for instance, i remember my folks gossiping to each other about a jw couple who had been sloughing off the meetings in order to go dancing.
one of the congregation members (who were absent themselves on a particular night) saw them going into a dance club on a meeting night and promptly ran to an elder.

Speaking of WTBTS illustrations, what's up with all the dress clothes?!
by Lady Zombie ingruesome armageddon illustrations aside, what's up with never drawing women wearing pants (unless they're worldly)?!.
picturing them at the kh is one thing, but picturing "christian" women (i.e.
jw women) outside of the kh wearing dresses is a bit ridiculous.
