I went also, although this is the first year I probably would NOT have gone, yet like TD:
I go every year out of respect for my wife, her beliefs, her family, etc.
I listen with a critical ear at ANY JW mtg. What struck me was the continued insistence on a literal 144,000, the obvious misapplication of Jesus ref to "other sheep" to an earthly class of Christians and (did anybody else catch this or was it just this speaker) the reference to the apostle Paul being a member of the "1st-century Christian Governing Body" ( in explaining why we were referencing 1st Corinthians instead of the Gospel accounts regarding the procedure to follow). Completely BOGUS since Paul was directly chosen by Christ.
