Isn't the tie a phallic symbol
by hippikon ini seem to remember reading somewhere that the tie is a phallic symbol.
can anybody shed any light on that.
if this is so it should go the way of beards, birthdays, the cross, rock music, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

Question for gay people
by expatbrit inthe question is about the term "tolerance" or "tolerating".. when someone says something along the lines of "i'm very tolerant of gay people" or "gay people should be tolerated", how do you feel?.
the reason i ask is this: doesn't the concept of tolerating something imply a background negative?
for instance, i can say "i tolerate my brother-in-law".

Feeling desperate................
by nicolaou inplease listen.
im not the first to go through this, i wont be the last.. i was raised in the truth as a result of my mum starting a study when i was 4 years old.
that was in 1968. the hysteria of a 1975/armageddon was just beginning to take root and the sister who studied with my mum was 100% sure of it.

Meetings
by OrangeBlossom indo you think the wts will ever reduce the number of meetings per week, maybe drop one night a week?
just curious!
it seems that everyone is so whipped from working all day, i really think that's why there is such a drop in meeting attendance.

The Sydney BBQ report
by OlderTom inwell folks i just came from the sydney bbq.
it was good to meet some of the faces behind the names of the posters here... it was funny every time another car rolled up one of us jumped up to show the security keys, i felt like a bit of a goose but it worked.
no uninvited elders showed up.. there was heaps of food and the chocolate mud cake was delicious.

Life After Armageddon
by CoolBreeze inthis was one of many aspects of my studies that gave me real problem.
i figured out that there was no way i was going to be in any %0.01 survivor group.
and if i was; all those rules and restrictions wouldn't really make it a paradise on earth for me.

The "Final solution" Watchtower style.
by Norm inthe final solution watchtower style.. we have been told on this board lately that the watchtower society preach the good news and that is one of the good things that set them apart from christendom.
people who call the watchtower society message good news has hopefully never really given much thought to what is going to happen if their good news should become reality.
let us investigate what these good news is all about.. the 22. may, 1999 issue of awake!

Kingdom Hall thinning out?
by OrangeBlossom ini was thinking about the post about japan closing about 300 congregations in the past 3 years.
i know that the hall i occasionally go to is usually less than half full compared to a few years ago.
my mom says that the elders in her hall are trying to come up with ways to get more to attend as attendance is really bad.
