Could I count a vintage video clip of Clapton or Hendrix in action? I think they are both about as close to being a god as we are going to get. I also like Mozart, but can't find any videos of him.
Below placements it just says: Video showings. It doesn't say what you have to show.
i read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.
the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.
was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

Magnum - we must be like 2 ships passing in the night. I thought I made it clear with the (only it is true) part that the story/account would be true, only posted in JA's style. For emphasis: I was proposing to write a story that was true, but done is such a style that many would call me out on it as not possibly being true. Note: I am attempting (perhaps not so well) to inject some humour into this tempest in a teapot thread.
That is why I suggested we should start a thread with JA style type stories. It it easy to recognize authors style (Dickens, Hemingway) but difficult to replicate. Why don't you have a go at it. Start the thread.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Magnum. I always suspected that I lacked insight and comprehension.
I was proposing to write a true story in JA's style and then wait to see how many people told me it couldn't be true.

11 people showing up at your house is not so far fetched. If you are liked and the 'friends' feel comfortable around you, it can happen. Just recently, my wife had arranged for a couple we know to visit for lunch. Before they arrived, she got a phone call that the group from field service wanted to drop by. Right... So we end up with a boat load of people in our house for a few hours. And we live out in the country. If you lived in a city with good public transportation (I know, not likely in the US except for a few cities) as is common in Europe, you could easily get a bunch showing up in no time at the same time.
Sometimes, you are the only outlet they have for letting their hair down for a bit.
hello, this is my first post, i would like to introduce myself and say thank you to every one on this forum, you have been a lifeline to me these last few years.. i had been a jw for 30 years when i walked away a few years ago disgusted by the treatment victims of child abuse, domestic abuse and rape receive from the wtbts.. at first i thought it was a local problem, elders personal opinions, the way they handled the situations, imperfect men etc., until i checked out jehovahs witnesses and child abuse/domestic abuse online.
that's when i realized they had the same modus operandi worldwide.
that led me here, tbuo this forum, and then to crisis of conscience, jw facts, watchtower documents, jw survey, old watchtower literature and cd s, reading a couple of steve hassans books, and more recently exiting the jw cult.. the feelings of shock, betrayal, anger at the wtbts, angry with myself for being so gullible, depression, reflection, loneliness, have taken their toll.
jt further expounds on why we left the watchtower.
why we left the jehovah's witnesses part 2.
