by Pubsinger in

Hi

Just spoke to someone who has recently been DF'd and they told me that they can sit anywhere instead of just at the back.

When did they change this?
Or is it just a local quirk?

I've not heard this one before . . .

What gets me about this is the totally crazy perspective they have which makes them think that this is an experience to be highlighted.

The rest of 'the world' would think it was either crazy or despicable.

Recently I heard an almost identical account from the totally opposite perspective. A young African woman was on a platform, in front of a large gathering of church people. The interview with her was included in an item on some church missionary work in Africa. The girl was one of their success stories. She had become attached to the mission project (a water project I think) attended the school that they had set up for the locals, shown great promise in her education, been flown out to the UK where she had gone through university and now was going back to her country where she was going to continue the work that she had benefitted from.

THAT seemed to be something worth praising.

It also seemed to have a point.

Essay: Beyond God and atheism: Why I am a 'possibilian'

by BurnTheShips in

we have many interesting debates and discussions on this board between members on both sides of the god/nogod divide.. most of us seem to be quite reasonable, and accept and respect differing points of views.. others, a small minority here, dismiss the opposite side as deluded or evil.

it strikes me that it takes a large amount of mental certainty to do this.. we all have reaped the fruits of such certainty in these matters during our sojourn in the jehovah's witnesses.. this essayist, neuroscientist and fiction writer david eagleman, takes a different view.

as you know, i am a believer in god.

Have to agree - this is surely just agnosticism which is nothing new.

Which is fine by me

KH school on christmas day & new years day

by dozy in

when i was an elder i used to hate the wts organising km schools on christmas or new years day ( like they are doing again this year) & i know many other elders & ms felt the same.

it always struck me as a foolish time of year to organise these meetings.

for many it was the time of the year when they had family staying on holiday.

Personally I hope that they do it every year on Christmas Day.

Because we all know that JWs enjoy the "Pagan Holidays" as much as everyone else does apart from they don't decorate and give presents.
Actually lots do give presents - a day or so later to keep up this facade of "not celebrating". And virtually all have big family gatherings etc.

Totally hypocritical.

I think the WT should organise special meetings on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and insist everyone turns up!
Extra Field Service too!!
