  Final Observations

  by Esmeralda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm an observant person.

  i became that way back in what i call the 'wallflower years' of my life, when i could very easily blend into the woodwork of any room i walked into without anyone looking up.

  i became a student of human nature and watched how people interacted, and that study has come in handy at many points.. sometimes, though, i don't realize when i'm opening a can of worms.

  The Nun Joke

  by Big Jim in

  1. social
  2. humour

  this nunn dies and goes to heaven, when she gets there st.peter tells her that they are all full and that she could pick whoever she wanted to be for a week back on earth.. she tells st.peter she would like to be sandy pippe line.

  st. peter does not know who she is talking about so he says he will have to look into the birth records to get more information.. so he looks and he can find no record of a sandy pippe line ever being born and he informs the nunn of this.. the nunn says oh yes let me show you, so she reaches in her pocket and pulls out a newspaper clipping and hands it to him.. st.peter reads it and his face turns all red and he tells the nunn he says no sister this reads the sandy pipe line laid by 100 men in one week.

  Hysterical Men & Women!

  to waiting - (and all you lurkers out there - what you looking at - this is private?).

  i'm little confused.

  though i have no recollection of calling you hysterical, let's say i did and i've forgotten.. you say that to call you hysterical is 'a gender related criticism.

  janh,.

  i have noticed several times when you refer to americans you use the phrase 'merkins'.

  now as far as slurs go that one is pretty lame, really i have lived here all my life (32 years) and i have never heard any american talk like that.

  1975 - After 26 years isn't it time to move on?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm relatively new on this site...but one subject i've noticed that seems to create alot of interest is that of 1975.. our family became witnesses it 1983 so i wasn't around at the time.

  forgive me if i do not understand why many were so angry with the wts at the time.. i understand the point that the society blamed individual witnesses and didn't take any responsibility themselves.

  i can see how witnesses got angry over that.. but, what i do not understand is why many still research into what the society said, or didn't say, or insinuated.

  by silentlambs in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i recieved this note from a young person i know personally.

  it brought tears to my eyes for someone so young to see things so clearly.

  why can't six million others see this simple reality and the need for change?.

  Reams and Reams of Information

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this post is primarily for those folk on this board, who post copious quantities of jw info on this board.. .

  i can understand your wanting to help present jws and those looking for info on the organisation, but this is not the place for posting reams and reams of info.

  most of us here know already this stuff.

  What would you have done without the WT?

  by expatbrit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  imagine that you had never heard of the watchtower.

  imagine that your life and that of your families had never been influenced by wt teachings.. i know for a fact that the wt's philosophy on further education contributed to my not achieving what i should have at school.

  this is not to shirk the responsibility for my grades; ultimately they were my responsibility.
