  COs and other org heavies - Interest in secular entertainment?

  by A question in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in any conversations and dealings you had with organization 'heavies' or their wives, such as cos, dos, missionaries, and so forth, did they ever have a lot of interest in any kind of secular entertainment (movies, tv shows, fiction books, and so forth)?

  or did they always discuss only 'spiritual interests'?.

  vaguelyinteresting - catholic youth festival -spain

  visiting madrid this week, heard an intersiting bit of "theocratic warfare" that'll be going on this summer during the popes visit for the youth festival.. .

  witnesses from various halls, both english and spanish are being trained to infultrate the youth conventions to ask "what's going on" and then offer watchtowers/awakes about jesus.. .

  there are training sessions at the bethel in torrejon - i have heard this first hand.

  some time ago i was at a family gathering.

  my father and uncles are all long-time elders in their congregations.

  when they were discussing they all were 50+ now, one of my uncles said: "i never thought i would come that close to my retirement in this old system of things".

  The classic features of a JW wedding are:

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  firstly a wedding/sales talk that mostly features heavily on how the woman should behave (hint, doormat) and lightly brushes over the fact of the husbands bevhaviour ( oh yeah he should treat her well).

  the reception normaly at some crummy comunity hall with yellowed ceilings and chucks of damp plaster falling off the walls.

  the seats normaly arranged facing eachother all around the edge, so that theres a huge unused space in the middle and everyone is climbing over everyone elses legs to get to their chair.. a big spread donated by everyone, normaly an ode to food poisoning.

  Hi, new to this forum. Figured I'd let everyone know about my story before I got involved.

  by JonathanH in

  2. experiences

  if you just want the juicy details where i leave, i'll make disclaimer where it begins, if you just want to know what happened with the elders and organization after i realized it wasn't true, i'll mark that seperately.

  we didn't do jack shit in service, or in the congregation.

  maybe this was how jehovah came about?

  Are JWs the worst restaurant customers?

  by Alfred in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  (a little background info before i ask my question...).

  my sister-in-law (non-jw), who manages a popular chain restaurant near a kingdom hall, just found out that my wife and i have recently faded, so she decided to get something off her chest the other day... you guessed it: she wanted us to know that jws are the worst customers ever!

  she then told us some really embarrassing stories about how jws would request a table for 15 to 20 people (after a sunday meeting) and then (when the bill came) some of the jws would start deliberating amongst themselves on whether or not the waiter was diligent or not (to justify the low tip he was getting anyway).
