JW Talent Show North Little Rock, AR circa early 90's
by TMS inhere are three clips from a jw talent show that took place in north little rock arkansas in the early 90's.
since jw's normally do not pursue entertainment careers, those who have talent sometimes feel a need to share their skills with fellow believers.
the brother doing the eagles classic paid the auditorium rent and organized the show.

What is the JW's take on pets?
by Dragonlady76 ini have always loved animals and have had pets through out the years, so that got me thinking about my jw childhood, not to many dubs had pets, i remember only a small handful of dubs that had a dog.
i wondered if there is a jw realted reason for this, so far the only thing that i can think of is that a pet "would take up valuable time that could be better spent on field service" .
any one have some information on this?.

Culture, Class, and Congregations
by saywhat29 ini know this is nothing new- the thought of the bible being just a story and a blend of culture and of how people interpreted the world around them and recorded it as such.
it's very athiest..y, even if don't consider myself an athiest.
because culture and class also affects how people look at the bible whether they believe it or not.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
