  Hands down: Ray Franz

  And especially since he refused to be a "leader" of any sort, knowing what a slippery slope that was.

  Marriage Proposal in the Kingdom Hall

  by Listener in

  just when you think you've seen it all comes another interesting use of a kingdom hall.a young man serenades his girlfriend with a song (possibly a watchtower song) from the stage through a microphone and backed by recorded music.

  then he steps off the stage and gets down on one knee and proposes as he pulls out a ring from his coat pocket.

  the large projector screen flashes up behind them with a picture of a sapphire and diamond ring.cameras capture the joyous moment as she accepts and they lock together in a loving hug.

  Mill Hill - Chelmsford, reduced capacity, any news on Chelmsford plan revision

  chelmsford looks to have much less work than in mill hill complex, if gb spirit guided why did they allow massive plans for new site when such significant changes must have been in discussion, planning , or contemplation.

  knee jerk reaction to things looks to indicate someone or more on gb has instituted changes almost overnight.

  my dog plans his day better, get up, walk, sleep, eat, walk some more, eat some more, and sleep again.

  Slang or Terms Only Used by Bethelities

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are many terms used at bethel that might sound foreign to normal people.

  there are many words or terms used at bethel that are unique only to their organization.

  here are just a few of them.. “a jack” this is someone who is a slacker or just lazy.. “a pot licker” this term has been used for many years but its connotation is unclear.

  Awesome reading.

  Bethel, especially in the 70's, would make a fascinating tv series. Bethel was where the drama was and drama makes for interesting stories.

  My then disfellowshiped ex-wife brought me the October 2011 Watchtower in an effort to get me back to the meetings.

  Annual Meeting 2017—Talks and Adjustments to the Ministry

  by Zeds Dead in

  just watched this video on dub broadcasting website under latest videos.. the tony morris part about 18 mins into the video where he takes forever sermonizing about "seeking out ones rightly disposed to everlasting life" he goes on and on about it and then finally says "the gb have decided that there will only be 3 magazines a year for the public and no year books anymore".

  firstly there must be some active dubbers asking why it took forever just to say that and secondly why another cut back?.

  seems like the whole thing is just about the website now..

  The Red Headed League

  i am sitting here watching my pioneering wife get service time ‘writing letters’ to not-at-homes.

  she has a long list of names and addressees where the jws in field service never got anyone home.

  the letter is simply a word for word copy, handwritten on note paper, then sent in the usmail.

  It is the exact opposite of the traveling salesman problem. JWs thrive on finding the least optimal, most time wasting route.

  Wow. I never made that connection to that story before. Not only letter writing, but door-to-door or cartwork, endless meetings, "study", all the equivalent meaningless busywork.

  I can't help but think back to the scene in the Granda version where Holmes and Watson bust out laughing after the man relates his story.

  just haven't heard from him for a while.

  it seems to me i don't remember hearing from him around the time he did the prodigal boys podcast interview.. hope nothing has happened post that.

  perhaps he's decided to lie low for a bit.
