  Convention food tickets for sale on eBay

  it really is amazing the things that seller kenyakelly gets a hold of, a constant stream of the most rare watchtower items.

  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-district-convention-green-food-tickets-watchtower-jehovah-nice-/390439358400?pt=antiquarian_collectible&hash=item5ae7ffcfc0.

  and can anyone remember what was the significance of the different colours?.

  The colours were for different assemblies, so that you had to buy new tickets for the next assembly and couldn't use leftover tickets from the past one.

  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  My favourite bit was the music medley starting from the 60s to now. And the Mr Bean part

  It was very "British" and you probably had to already know many facets of British culture to understand it all. I was brought up on all things British as a child so I loved it.

  Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?

  there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".

  and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.

  simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

  The boy was black, and the girl had a black father and a white mother. The girl left her phone on the train and the boy, who'd locked eyes with her earlier, went about trying to find her to give her back her phone. And when they found each other they fell in love (of course).

  For those in any doubt that the Society is at war with Facebook...

  ...take a look at this from page 29 of the latest october 2012 awake!.

  the gloves are now well-and-truly off.

  referring to facebook as a "social networking website" clearly isn't working.. the society now feels compelled to start being more specific about which websites it doesn't want you to visit!.

  Depends on your security settings, smiddy.

  You can set it so that only your friends can see your status, photos etc.

  Punk got shunned HURRAH!!!!

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i was da'd last september as a 'mentally diseased apostate'(tm) that the 'jehu elders'(tm) should 'slaughter'(tm) if the law of the land allows it.. i now get shunned in the street and i think it's so childish of the dubs to do so.

  one family that shunned me was a family i bent over backwards to help them when they had to move house.

  their loss...i won't help them again!.

  Local cult exiting groups - a wish

  by cog_survivor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading some of the exit/fader stories my heart breaks.. i wish there were some kind of local support groups for people who want help in leaving behind their cult lives.

  living in the heart of the midwest, there really isn't anyone to turn to.

  i would have loved to meet with others in a safe enviroment to work through some of the issues.. all the implanted fears make people scared to turn to other religious organizations.

  See if there are any Meet Up groups for exJWs in your area. They're usually social groups but at least they'll be people who can relate to what you've gone through.

  what is the dumbest thing you've been reproved/chided/df'd for?

  by rather be in hades in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.

  everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.

  i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .
