What's everyone doing for Christmas?
by Missie Eff ini'm in a quandry.. came out of the organisation a few years ago, have spend a couple of chilled out christmasses in front of the fire.
no presents, decorations etc, no problem!
but... my little boy is getting older and my ex-husband (my son's father and also an ex-jw) is concerned that he will miss out, just like we did as kids.. but, i am reluctant to do the whole christmas thing.

divining rods work
by zerubberballz init's a funny ol' world.
a month ago i was mucking about with some thick fencing wire and i suddenly got the idea to bend a couple of pieces into a set of divining rods like i've seen old nutters doing on tv.
so i cut two sections of wire about 2' long and bent the ends 4" at 90 degrees to form old fashioned diving rods (twitching sticks are made of yew or hickory or something .. don't know what, if anything aboriginies used).

Picture of Xmas at Bethel
by LovesDubs inwould someone please be so kind as to scan and post the picture of christmas at bethel with rutherford and all the little bethelites sitting around amidst presents and decorations?
i believe it was in the in search of christian freedom book, which someone borrowed from me and didnt return.
i need to show it to some unbelievers...or rather...dis believers :) remember now...when christ came back in 1918 and judged bethel as his own ...they were celebrating christmas and birthdays!

Only J.w's will survive the big A
by toddy inmy question is,if it is true that only j.w's will survive then surely everybody on the planet should at least get the option of becoming a witness,but there are people living in remote parts of the world who rarely come into contact with civilisation,im pretty sure there are still small tribes of people living in some rainforest who haven't even been discovered yet,where do theses people fit in,do they just perish like the rest of us?.
sorry if this is a daft question,been on the guinness all night!

Hello Wendy,
having never been a dub i can't really relate to your anger,i do have one question though,what would happen if you went back to your kingdom hall and stood up on stage and vented your anger,would you be allowed to do anything like that? -

Fire and Denomination Emergency Response
by Billygoat ina large city-wide ecumenical service was in progress when someone smelled smoke and yelled "fire!
" everyone responded in their own individual way.... the church of christ group pushed everybody into the water.. the lutherans nailed a paper to the door declaring 95 ways in which fire was evil.. the episcopalians formed a liturgical procession and marched out in an orderly manner behind an acolyte.. the unitarians concluded the fire had as much right to be there as anyone and announced they would add its unique origins to their open celebration of life.. the christian scientists elected a reader who gently persuaded them that there really was no fire.. the 7th day adventists said it was the vengeance of an angry god.. the jehovah's witnesses wrote an article about it and divided into groups to visit all the other denominations and sell copies.. the presbyterians commissioned a new anthem based on the atonal modalities of the sirens.. the pentecostals sharply rebuked the fire in unknown tongues.. the catholics petitioned the bishop for permission to leave before they had been blessed.. the christians (disciples) asked their pastor to stay out of it and referred the fire to the next board of elders meeting for a response.. the methodists gathered in a corner to pray that the traditional profession of firefighting could be peacefully blended with the contemporary nature of the flames.. and the baptists attempted to appoint three committees and pass an offering plate -- but soon quit speaking to each other after disagreeing whether the word "fire" was a fundamental, moderate or liberal concept.

Lutherans do it with grace
Catholics do it with guilt
Pentecostals do it with tongues
Baptists do it in water
Missionaries do it in the field
Quakers do it quietly
Televangelists do it publicly for money
Jehovahs Witnesses do it with one foot in the door
Mormons do it with suits on
Evangelicals try to get everyone else to do it
