    Hey all,

    I've been out all day, so I apologize in advance if anyone already posted this info.

    One of my JW relatives (Whom I happened to see while visiting my Dad this afternoon) told my mother that she'd have to "turn in her ticket to the elders to get a replacement." From what she said, they've changed the color of the ticket. She said "someone got a hold of them...and they had to change them." I translate that as, someone was making counterfeit ones and they found out. *lol*

    Like the same person who fabricated the first one couldn't get a hold of the second one, take it to Kinko's Copies or scan it and have more reproductions in five minutes *lol* They are kidding themselves!

    I'd like to see how they plan on keeping people who really want to get in out, ticket or no. Most attendants I've seen at assemblies didn't look like they could successfully swat a mosquito let alone stop someone who really wanted to get in.

    Just the latest I've heard.

    The relative also added "This meeting is different...they definitely want to control who gets in."

    Good luck! *lol* Face it, Good ol' Bethel boys, the internet is spreading all your secrets. Better than standing on the rooftop and shouting, that's for sure!

    wow. someone cracked this air-tight security system AGAIN?? i remember when i was working as a 'special' attendant at the DC, the 'last line of defense,' authorized to use any means necessary to 'take down' the enemy. (actual quotes from Dept head!) and we were informed that someone high up at the branch had recently gone apostate so we should be on guard because, get this, HE WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE BADGECARDS!

    seriously, can someone just post a scan of the ticket here. see how many times they'll re-issue it. sometimes for security, theyll check the blood card. this seems like a far better security system. who else would risk carrying one?

    This whole thing is just getting WAY too "cloak and dagger". Sheesh, are they REALLY that afraid of the "Apostate" faction?

    I would even make one of those especially for the meeting if I had to so that wouldn't stop anyone .......

    It really is too risky, Jan! That would be taking your life into your hands unless you can put "Facsimile Only" in a fashion clearly visible to emergency crews on the bit under your thumb!

    Tickets for a special meeting ????????? Is this new? I have never heard of such a thing. We had parking tickets for conventions but thats it. So , do you need a ticket to get into this meeting? Is it just for elders?
    How strange. It makes me think of a scripture. Rev. 22:17
    And the spirit and the bride kept on saying "Come" And let anyone hearing say Come! and let anyone thirsty come let anyone who wishes take lifes water free. ( But only if you have a ticket) Sheeeesh

    jurs,

    if this ticket thing really disturbs you i will be happy to post my
    notes so you will not miss a thing, as i am sure that your real
    motive is to continue in Bible knowledge and not nit pick going
    to a meeting that you were probably not going to attend anyway

    Nytelecom1,

    No the ticket thing doesn't really disturb me. I don't feel like I'm nit picking. I don't have a motive. Its just plain and simple. I feel completely bitter toward the organization. I always believed that we followed the bible completely. I get mad at myself as well as the org when its plain as day that they don't. I get pleasure out of dogging the org when ever I can. I think this ticket thing is stupid and because of my thourough "twist a scripture to fit your cause training " that was instilled upon me by the org , I thought I'd put it to use once in awhile so I don't loose my touch. And in my opinion that scripture fit very well.
