  What is the longest distance you drove to attend a summer Convention?

  here is a photo of the milwaukee brewers ( american baseball team) county stadium.

  for some reason, we were assigned this outdoor stadium for our 1975 four-day summer convention.

  our congregation was located 90 miles away on the north side of chicago.. some congregation members stayed at milwaukee hotels for the four-day convention.

  Whole cherrys. Id then crush the pips either on the floor or in my mouth. At least 5 or 6. Then sit and wait for the cyanide to kill me.

  It would be the ultimate way to piss on the executioners bomfire!

  Smuggling

  the international assemblies are on... and the missionaries are coming home... and leaving richer.. i have, in all seriousness, been told by a co that the missionaries going home have large sums of money hidden in their luggage as they go back to their assignments.

  .

  he related how one couple was almost caught with the undeclared cash as they passed through customs.. this has been going on for quite some time, the watchtower using missionaries are mules.. i bet with all the kingdumb hall sales the pace has picked up..

  i wrote a letter some time ago and to my surprise and despite the elders manual saying that a letter is sufficient for establishing 'wrongdoing' they would not announce me as no longer a jw until i met with 2 elders to verbally acknowledge that the letter was written by me.. .

  well yesterday i met with them and the meeting lasted 2 minutes.

  "did you write the letter?

  Counter Witness Video

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower

  someone posted a counter mormon video on another thread and suggested we have one available to show after witnessses show us a wt video at the door.. sounds like a great exchange witness approach.

  all we need is a good short video that could either bless witnesses with the gospel or plant seeds of doubt in wts authority.

  know of any video that might fit the bill?

  now that i'm out if i ever do find someone and settle down and start a family, my parents wont be a part of it.

  my dad wont walk me down the isle if i get married, if i have kids they wont know their grandparents.

  oh and by the way i had my freaking tubes tied so as not to have kids in this system.

  My kids enjoy a childhood free of a cult, they will NEVER know the life I had to.

  And as for my family who shun me, the would be auntie and uncles?well they have missed out on the most beautiful well behaved, and damn well cute children.

  Not my loss, and not my little girls loss.

  It wont be your loss and it wont be your future familys loss either!

  Were You A Gullible JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  i think every congregation has their group that sees everything as a sign that they are god’s chosen people.

  if a witness didn’t go to a meeting and a storm came and destroyed their house and killed them, and only the kingdom hall was saved, that was a sign that we should be in jehovah’s house.

  if russia persecuted jws , it’s proof we are living in the last days.

  jwfacts.com Have you looked at it?

  i use this extensively rather than re-inventing the wheel.. paul grundy, the admin, keeps it up-to-date and welcomes any corrections or new information, especially in a well-written article, supported by wt publication quotes.. the 2 places i check first is www.jwfacts.com and then searching on jwn with key word(s) to see if the topic has been already extensively researched or commented on.. don't be frightened away by the material being more than 3 paragraphs.

  the quotes from wt publications is are extensive and from publications that are older and less available.

  i find it good to read many posts on a single topic and expand my knowledge and sources.. blondie.

  Thanks Blondie. the link in your post is broken though. Would you perhaps edit it for ease of access for new members here or anyone lurking?
