There are many days I'm so angry I could burst into a khell but taking hold of the mic isn't exactly what I have in mind. So I redirect my anger and go deliver anti witness tracts. There have been a few days reading something here moved me to deliver 100-200 in one drive. Other days I just grab a small stack on my way somewhere and deliver in any old random fashion.

I tried to talk to them about it and their reasoning just keeps going in circles not proving anything and then when you show them their circular reasoning they just start yelling. I gave up. Yes I do want to shake some sense into them. I mean, how could they produce such an intelligent child and be so stupid themselves???

this sounds like it came from my mind. creepy.

What scripture did the dubs use to describe the burning in your heart to tell others about the truth?

I think we all have finally experienced what they were talking about.

Regarding the Tacoma Dome parking lot scandal, I recall reading a scan of a letter sent by the WTBTS to Congregation(s?) stating that although the parking is included in the fee paid for the hire of the dome, the Congregations must not divulge this to the R&F, but charge again for parking...can someone help me here...can't re-find it

An article that talks about the Tacoma Dome Parking Lot scandal:

Cheers Hermano - I've seen that - but I recall seeing a scan of a letter from the Society instructing 'Elders' to charge for parking.

Hermano, it won't make you feel better, but you should know that Tacoma wasn't nearly the only
place this happened. Tacoma is the place where it made big news. It happened in the place I was
at at the time, also. I thought it was very strange that someone was actually collecting and
marking down the exact "suggested contribution" at the Kingdom Hall weeks before the DC so that
the members could have their parking ticket in their windshield. Then at the convention, the parking
attendents were told to look for members without the parking ticket. The attendents were told to ask
them if they were here for the entire three days, and if they said yes, then tell them they should put
one of these tickets in their windshield, and they could put in a donation inside the auditorium, the
usual donation being XXXX.

I wish I knew what that was all about. Now I do. They were taking money at the Halls and not reporting it
as "parking fee" but as a donation to the Society, then at the convention allowed it to go right into the
regular coffers. Meanwhile, anyone who said they were not there for the three days (because they didn't
collect on Saturday and Sunday) didn't need to have a ticket in their windshield. That way, nonmembers
didn't feel any obligation to PAY the donation and wouldn't report any deception.

Just another thing that makes me wish I could grab that microphone.

This I have not seen MidwichCuckoo. I would love to see it though.
