One rule that used to irritate me to death was that the back, middle quarter of the hall was reserved for families with children. Anyone else that wanted to sit in the back had to try and squeeze into the narrow side aisles. No exceptions for the sick, the elderly, or the emotionally ill, those that may need to get up to leave early, go to the bathroom, to take a break, or those that used canes, walkers etc. I saw the elders make a sister in her eighties vacate her seat to make room for a family with children. What kind of respect is that?

If a brother miss pronounced a word All the sisters had to say it that way after?????
Good Lord that drives me nuts!
It's not just the sisters....everybody does it.
WT reader with a 6th grade education mispronounces a word....I dunno, say it's an experience about a Mexican sister named Juana.
WT reader pronounces it "Jew-wah-nah".
All comments on the experience will include the pronunciation "Jew-wah-nah".
I have to struggle to keep my brain from strangling itself.

WH - Yes I remember the WP flight. Didn't know why. Isn't that when it became Lindley or soon afterwards?
Speaking of silly pronunciations, one elder in Tarzana starting insisting that we all pronounce Isaiah the same way as the brother that read the Bible on the WT tapes. For those that remember, the WT reader was English* and said it something like: eye-ZEYE-uh, with the middle syllable stressed and rhyming with "eye" instead of "aye".
I pointed out that none of us speak Hebrew and the reader was British and they pronounced lots of words differently. The brother insisted. I said, "Fine, when you start pronouncing 'Jehovah' like he does, 'gee-HO-vuh' then I'll say Isaiah like him too! In the meantime, since we live here in California, I'll continue to speak American English if you don't mind. Thank you."
That was the end of it! Too funny!!!
* And sounded like he was 1,000 years old or more.

wha happened?
00DAD,
WP became lindley when they disbanded Northridge and WP. Lindley then was a completly new congregation. Northridge was WP II. Although by then, WP had purged the PO and all his village idiots. It was a cool little congregation. I was there during that period until they formed Lindley and I had to deal with all the NOrthridge idiots. The I went to Bay.
I dunno if you ever saw that PO at WP melt down when he was assigned to replace the scripture overlooking the stage at the CA assembly building. He mixed up the twoparts of the scripture when he installed it. Then of course he blasted his children for allowing him to do it.
Oh and if u were in a different congregation, you're not safe. The elders would call the brothers from other cong all the time about the many infractions on the part of their publishers. I had one elder call about me about something he heard that I said to another perosn who said it to another person who stated it to an elder. NO fact checking, just go punish me

I too would be fascinated to know which highlighter colors are theocratic and which are worldly - or even possibly pagan.
Too bad fred7777 isn't still here; I bet he could tell us.
