  victorian sky has a great thread on music.

  it got me thinking, about tv shows, anything in particular you were told not to watch, being a little kid in the 70's i do remember hearing shows from the platform that we should not watch.

  You couldn't watch the Simpsons? I find that funny... We had a Circuit Overseer (very arrogant jerk I might add) who actually quoted an episode in his talk. I thought it was pretty funny at the time...

  just read this article about martin luther -- the wtbts state -- luther recognized that god's favor cannot be earned.

  rather , it is granted to those exercising faith romans 1:16; 3:23,24,28 .

  these days i do not go to meetings very often so i do not know what is new light and old -- and have read in r. franz coc similar material with ed dunlap and commentary on letter of james.. this implies salvation can not be earned (i.e.

  Hear hear Francois! That has been a longstanding beef I have had. They teach that Jesus fulfilled the Law, but then turn around and quote it's "principles" as "guidelines" (not laws) that Christians should follow. I never could figure out how they could manage that feat.

  blondies post on an earlier thread re the gate crashers at the assemblies running to "save" the best seats got me to thinking..

  Here's a little suggestion for some mischief. Next time one of you folks decides to go to a DC, run around right at opening and pick up all of the books and magazines used to save seats and stick them in the lost and found. I remember I did that one time - never got caught. It was pretty funny actually.

  Most Annoying "Kingdom song?"

  by doodle-v in

  what's a kingdom song you can remember singing that gives you the creeps now?

  mine is "move ahead" i think that was the title, anyway it has so much rhetoric... but the tune is so darn catchy.... darn.... in my opinion, those songs are the perfect example of mind control.

  move ahead.. move ahead ... blah blah blah blah blah .

  Try this out folks.... Sing the lyrics of "Marriage is God's Arrangement" to the theme of the Muppet Show...

  It works quite nicely!

  "Marriage is God's arrangement"

  "By him it was designed."

  "It forms a bond of union, brings blessings to mankind." (bah dump dump!!)

  What the hell does the above mean anyways? It brings blessings to mankind?

  Basically all of the Kingdom Melodies were to indoctrinate people with, well, doctrines. The pink songbook had to be replaced with the "new light" of the orange one. I am sure there were some serious problems (ideas) with older songs forcing them to ditch it. I was always annoyed as well as to how many songs were like contemporary compositions. I seem to remember one song sounds a lot like a Christmas carol.

  Girls Have Cow-Like Sex Drive According To Watchtower

  by AlanF in

  how can girls guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world?.

  when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.

  young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.

  Holy crap! That misogynistic garbage is over the top as to be completely laughable. I can't believe they ever had the nerve to print this crappola.

  rogers cable in ottawa is down due to a main line being severed.

  the hockey game between ottawa and philadelphia is scheduled to start at 7pm, and rogers is not going to be able to restore service until approximately 9pm tonight.

  people are being given instructions on how to hook up a piece of speaker wire in order to view the game the "old fashioned way"......

  Scull: Wedding is coming soon! Can't wait!

  Yeah, I'm not sure where they would run a parade in Kanata... maybe out to the farmer's fields?

  The Sens will win you over sooner than later!

  Take care!

  I vaguely recall the hot meals at circuit assemblies, but those were done away with in the early 80s from what I can remember.

  In Canada, we had the worst drink known to mankind: Cott Cola. The Society must've got a great deal on this stuff. Imagine sucking back a warm, burning cola in the hot as Hades stadiums. This stuff was so acidic, it was undrinkable even when cold. Sweating away, drinking a Cott cola at lunch was a sure recipe for incredible illness in the late afternoon listening to the droning.

  The puddings were a fave amongst kids, especially when they were still frozen. The puddings got cheap over time and had these little indentations in the bottom of the cup making it look bigger than it actually was.

  I too remember that it was a sin that some ate offsite and were not "supporting Jehvovah's bank acct... err... arrangement." I couldn't believe at the time that attendants were on the lookout for homeless trying to nab a free meal. No shirt, no badge, no service! Drink life's water free, but hands off our damn sandwiches!

  I loved looking forward to work in the food department. I got to start the sessions late and leave the sessions early to do my job. It was great getting out of it!

  Over time, I would simply leave the assembly early. I remember running into an elder I seriously disliked in the parking lot. He asked me where I was going... I replied with a smile and said "where are you coming from?"
