hello again from sunny north carolina!!!.

our state lotto started today, and i won 15 dollars, and only bought 1 $1 card.

so whoop whoop for gambling.. i was in miami florida last week for the photoshop world conference, but i also got to tour the everglades, where i took some beautiful pictures.

The packages will arrive today... What do you think will happen?

by Faithful Witness in

i have decided that ignoring my niece and nephew during the holidays, is the most unloving thing i could possibly do.

they stopped celebrating christmas and birthdays, after my sister began studying with jw's about 6-7 years ago.

we did not celebrate either, until 3 years ago, when my son was 2 and my daughter was 4, and we'd figured out that the jw's are wrong about this decision.

Send birthday and Christmas cards and put in a cheque. Then you'll know when they break their rules and accept the gift.

Head coverings yet again in the latest KM

by life is to short in

my husband just gave me the latest km the novermber 2013 and it yet again has a question box on head coverings.. question box "should a female publisher wear a head covering if she is accompanied by a male pubisher at a doorstep bible study?".

it says "when a female publisher conducts a reagular, scheduled bible study and a male kingdom publisher is present, she should wear a head covering.

(1 cor 11: 3-10) the july 15 2002, issue of the watchtower page 27, explains: "this is a prearranged session of teaching where the one conducting the the study actually presides.

Pubsinger

It never happens or will happen tho because the sister will just make sure she never takes a brother on the study, doorstep or otherwise.

Upcoming KM!! Why we are not False Prophets!

by DATA-DOG in

this subject is coming up this month in the tms.

i just thought i would start a post for newbies or lurkers.

if you have any scans of the awake inside cover that would be awesome.

Pubsinger

Out of interest, has anyone ever written or contacted the WT direct and asked them why they changed/falsified this in the bound volumes?

Just wondered what they'd say.

Jehovahs Witnesses have no clergy,dont charge for weddings,have no collection plates,are no part of the world,live in a spiritual paradise,what other fallacy is their.

by smiddy in

these are just some of the things i was told studying with the witnesses in 1959 .in 1960 we got married in one of the few kh`s that existed in melb.at the time .and we were required to pay/contribute to the bro.who conducted the service.. i was led to beleive in my studys that smoking was a no,no ,so i gave up ,learning later that wasnt the case ,the ministerial servant book study conductor in our group still did smoke.

( the ban on smoking didnt come in till later on ).

while they may not have passed the collection plate around , they did on a regular time frame appeal for donations from the platform for funds to offset the renting of a hall , my first congregation , or the upkeep /maintenance of a kh or for the"world wide work of witnessing" .

Pubsinger

The 'contributing to the brother who gave the wedding talk' one is news to me. Never heard that one before!

What's The STRANGEST Thing You've Seen At A Kingdom Hall?

by minimus in

i saw a fight break out on the platform between an elder and a unbelieving husband who accused the elder of f---ing his wife.

he then threw the lectern on the floor and pushed the elder.

it was cool.......

Pubsinger

The funniest thing I can remember was interviewing my best mate (who I have just got back after he finally saw the light 13 years after I told him ) on the service meeting and asking him why he had decided to regular pioneer. He said he had decided to because he wanted to serve Jehovah while he was full of youthful virility, quickly correcting this to youthful vitality! But it was too late - I was crying laughing so much that I couldn't breathe.
