  What Is Your Googilism?

  i discovered this site today, and had some fun with it typing in the real names, then the aliases of posters here.

  e-man posted a similar thread a month or so ago, but this is a lot more fun, as long as your name or phrase is not too "exclusive"

  have fun!

  Hit Me With Some Snappy Comebacks Puleeeeeeeeze!!

  okay...so i'm invited to a baby shower for my daughter-in-law which will most likely be attended by myriads upon myriads of jw's.

  i won't go into the nasty details...but they've been married four years now and have another little daughter...their wedding was boycotted by most jw's because she was not baptized yet (but grew up a jw)...and my son was.

  so every since the wedding fiasco...they have been pretty much shunned by the jw's...and attend meetings infrequently.

  This is the GOOD elder thread

  well, after thinking about all the bad experiences, i just wanted to know, did you know any good elders, and what were they like?

  probably unconventional, right?

  one of the only elders i knew that i truly thought was a wonderful person is my father.

  Rocketman,

  True, true, true!!!!! For reasons I can't reveal, your post nearly brought me to tears. I've known 5 good elders. If I squint my eyes and tilt my head; just so...., I may be able to squeeze out 6.

  Door-to-Door Work - Most Inneffective Work of the 21st Century

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  knockin' on doors when nobody's home, processing ten of thousands of hours that u know are fake, refusing to embrace modern-technology to further the work just adds up to the most ineffective public relations campaign of the 21st century---yep, you guessed it the house-to-house work.........

  What bothers me most is that a new term was introduced at the latest District Convention: "Doorstep Bible Study". Translation (according to me): Even if you are never invited in; as long as you talk to someone for a few minutes on a regular basis, wham! bang! you've got yo 'self a bible study! Using this method, I guaran-ass-tee that this will surely inflate the number of BS (Bible Studies) conducted. I predict that there will be a substantial "increase" of Bible Studies over the next few months (at least).

  Good at general prediction of outcomes on a minor scale. Nothing on the scale of World Trade Center premonitions. Mine are more personal, more local and have absolutely nothing to do with logic. The predictions are very specific and very detailed (numbers, dates, times, events, etc;). However, I do not openly share the fact that I have this talent; (truth be told, I didn't ask for it nor do I particularly want it).

  My personal theme song.... (no responses necessary)

  Sting - Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot

  Let your soul be your pilot
  Let your soul guide you
  He'll guide you well
  
  When you're down and they're counting
  When your secrets all found out
  When your troubles take to mounting
  When the map you have leads you to doubt
  When there's no information
  And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well
  
  Let your soul be your pilot
  Let your soul guide you
  He'll guide you well
  
  When the doctors failed to heal you
  When no medicine chest can make you well
  When no counsel leads to comfort
  When there are no more lies they can tell
  No more useless information
  And the compass spins
  The compass spins between heaven and hell
  
  Let your soul be your pilot
  Let your soul guide you
  He'll guide you well
  
  And your eyes turn towards the window pane
  To the lights upon the hill
  The distance seems so strange to you now
  And the dark room seems so still
  
  Let your pain be my sorrow
  Let your tears be my tears too
  Let your courage be my model
  That the north you find will be true
  When there's no information
  And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well
  
  Let your soul be your pilot
  Let your soul guide you
  Let your soul guide you
  Let your soul guide you upon your way...

  Do You Feel That Your Parents "Did a Good Job" Raising You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being raised a witness, my mother has asked me whether or not i held her responsible for her bringing me up in the way that she has.

  i feel that my upbringing is something my mother can be proud about.

  even though i do not believe in the "truth", i do feel that she did a good job of raising us.

  Were you married at the Kingdom Hall ? How bad was your wedding reception ?

  by run dont walk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm just wondering...... i remember going to some wedding receptions for couples who got married at the kingdom hall,.

  and i hate to be mean but, super boring, and bad, how bad you ask ??

  ok here we go ..... - the worst had to be one couple played kingdom meolodies for their wedding dances, i couldn't believe it.. - no alcohol (i'm sure we all experienced a few of these), reception was over by 9:30.. - no music at all, just a gathering of people, and they ended the reception with a prayer, i thought i was at an assembly.. - food, like if you can't afford to get married don't, like frozen stuff bought at your local grocery store, and still in the package when you got up to the tables, how tacky.. - you could always tell a couple who couldn't afford much, when you had to drive 50 miles into the back woods to find some dinky little community hall they rented for $100.. - i remember one where the bride was pregnant, i was really surprised they allowed them to use the kingdom hall.. - another classic was, they had this band (of all jw's of course) and man they were bad.
