Too bad some of the scenery is being obscured by this. I hope this isn't done on all the photos. But I'm sure it's a welcome change for alot of people.
Edited cuz the pic wasn't showing

Something good at last from the WBTS!
by dmouse injust got a look at the new jw calendar for 2004.. usually it's nauseating crap about preaching the good news around the globe, or like last year's effort, about how the 'truth' changes people from axe-weilding maniacs to nice christian family men.. this year's calendar is ok though.
no comments at all about how wonderful jehovah's witnesses are, in fact no editorial at all, just reasonable quality nature photos and a snipet of scripture about the beauty of nature or god's qualities.. .
these are probably suitable for the general public too - next time the jws visit ask them for some for you to give out as christmas presents!

NEW 2003 Worldwide Service Report
by Joker10 infor all those curious, here's a look at the new 2003 report.
jehovah's witnesses have been growing, but not a whole lot.
a peak of 6,429,351 publishers reported preaching in 235 lands.

I just did a very rough calculation, but if it's correct, the 2.2% increase would have numbered in the neighborhood of 132,000. And with 259,000 baptized, that leaves roughly 127,000 unaccounted for. (I'm using the average number of pubs here) If you go by the peak pubs, the number of anaccounted dubs is even greater.
It's a freakin revolving door.
Simon's gonna need a bigger server.

A HUGE REVELATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Jesika ini haven't posted in a while.
there is good reason for it.
i have been in counseling again.

There is nothing that could justify that kind of abuse! And you're right, he should have gone to jail for it. I'd like to see all abusers go to jail, and be registered as sex offenders for the protection of other children in the future. I know it's difficult to relive these experiences when going for counselling, but in the long run it will help. Thank you for posting your experiences. They're very helpful for all of us here who have experienced some form of abuse. You're helping victims see that it is not their fault, as they have been conditioned to feel, and that recovery IS possible.

What scams did you use for counting your time?
by Ivor Hope in.
flowerpetals post and thread reminded me of some of the scams we would use to try to show the maximum numbers of hours spent in "service" for the smallest amount of effort.
here's some of the ones i remember...just wondered if any of you had any other memories.. .

We used to stand like signposts just holding magazines on the street, but I took it a step further. Since I wasn't speaking to anyone anyway by just standing there, I just stuck a watchtower in my rear passenger window and drove around. I had to do necessary things anyway, like go to restaurants or bars, so why not let the magazines be displayed this way? After all, more people would see them this way, so it must be more productive.

MEAT!!! As SFJ said, steaks, burgers, veal parmigiana, turkey dinners, sausages for breakfast, souvlaki, roast duck, pepproni on my pizza... I could go an all day!
What about television and movies? If everyone on the earth were nice, non-fornicating, non-violent people, WTF would there be to watch on TV? What would we base the stories on? Bloody field service???
What? No Internet porn???
Waddaya mean I have to stop drinking after 5 beers???
WHAT!!!??? Billions of hot, nubile babes in the world and I can only have ONE??? Or would there be a rotation program in place?
Makes me wonder how I ever became a JW in the first place.

Let's face it, we all ROCK, and we know it! So, who's your inner rock star? Try this test on Emode.
http://www.emode.com/tests/rockstar/authorize/register.jsp?url=/tests/rockstar/index.jsp
Here's me:
Eminem
Oh yeah, the rock star in you is definitely the ultimate bad boy, Eminem. You are a risk taker and a rebel who never sticks to the straight and narrow. Your irrepressible energy means that nothing can keep you down. You and Eminem rise to any challenge, doing and saying the outrageous and shocking whenever you feel like it, and keeping the fans on their toes with your controversial views. Look at it this way: a man like you knows how to find the perfect medium to channel your frustrations with the world. And lo and behold, we can't get enough of you. Keep your inner Eminem real.

I can go into a museum and start naming the artist of a particular piece without looking at the placard.
True, and it beats the hell out of me. I read the placard and still say "HUH?" I'm artistically challanged.
