Best JW tall story/variations of it?
by KW13 indont just list one, list them all so we can laugh because in all honesty i can't believe we believed some of them.
for example, i was told annie lennox stopped a concert to ask if there was any jw's in the audience, and if there was could they leave as they were stopping the demons getting through...is this even remotely true?
did annie lennox ask the jw's in the audience to move because they were stopping the snack lady getting through...and it got twisted through chinese whispers.... the other day (i felt sick) one witness was banging on about how amazing it was that the watchtower society's building was the only one standing still...wtf...my stepdad responded with a 'wow thats amazing' and the first brother was like 'yeah i know'...grrrrrrrrr aaaaaaaah screaaaaaaaaam .

Will the WTBTS ever become mainstream like the WWCG?
by donny inback during the 80's and 90's, i occasionally heard statements lumping the society in with the likes of the worldwide church of god who had very similar teachings and even believed in 1975 as being a year that god would act (1975 in prophecy!
by herbert w. armstrong).
clearly the roots of the wwcg were from the same as the societys and both groups were viewed as cults.

Assembly day one - less than two hours attended
by insearchoftruth inwell my wife went to day one of the assembly, but for only 1.5 hours, she left early to meet me for lunch and off to an appointment this afternoon.
she really did not say much about the assembly except it was "nice" and she said that the speaker was really good, not sure which speaker she was referring to, either why be guided by god's spirit or the holy spirit at work in creation, most likely both....... when she called i told her stay if she really wanted to, but she did not..... any ideas of what these two presentations were about.....and any references that may help me drop some ideas and provoke some thoughts?.
not sure of her plans for tomorrow or sunday......may be heading to some of each of those days as well, if she goes tomorrow, i may go for a few hours with her, to insulate from love bombs as well as to be able to ask why folks are allegiant to an organization rather than jehovah??

Some questions about WT sources
by witnessgirl insomething has been bugging me for years and years, and always bugged me when i was an active witness.
i've never mentioned it before and i've never seen it discussed.
like with a lot of other matters, i just assumed that this meant that i was missing something that everyone else understood.

Pantyhose
by Princess Daisy Boo insomething that has facinated me since i started reading and posting on this board was the whole "women must always wear pantyhose" idea... .
the thought sometimes crosses my mind as to whether or not there were any differences in the borg from country to country - but the only issue i have come across is the pantyhose one.
in south africa, to the best of my knowledge, while i was "in", this was not a requirement - we only wore stockings if the weather required it.

Insight In the Scriptures.....is there anything I can use in these volumes?
by insearchoftruth inwhen i got home today i noticed another stack of stuff on the kitchen table, more wt garbage, including the english version of reasoning from the scriptures as well as a copy of insight in the scriptures that sister gave my wife.
my wife said she wanted to 'read the bible', i asked a simple question why she needed all the other books to accomplish that...she said just to provide her some assistance.
she was also stating today how it really does not matter how people interpret the scriptures, because there is only one correct interpretation....i wanted to get sick...... is there anything in these books, since they are from 1988, that i can use to my benefit....for example does it talk about the annointed and the generation where i could ask her to look it up as compared to the new light..... just wondering, may be reaching here, but anything would help!
