You ate JWs at night time - and at their own place of dronery!! My goad, man, I don't know whether to congratulate you or be concerned or both. However, if you had eaten them for breakfast, would that have made you a vegetarian and would you need to then take Gaviscon because you'd have a stomach full of stock answers - heavy and unhelpful at the best of times but able to fill a lot of abdominal space?
On the more humanly gossipy side, Was the meeting well attended? I keep hearing reports that attendance in kingdom halls in the more westernized countries is flagging - especially during the week.

Moshe, you have like a way stronger stomach than me. I get sick just driving past a Kingdom Hall. I love it. I'm glad you're giving them hell.

Well done Moshe !!
I like the way you keep it short and simple, that is the only way with JW's, I know because my mind used to work as theirs do.
As soon as a question is too difficult to deal with, the JW mind goes off subject, and on to "Yea but what about ......."
By doing as you did, you left them with the question hanging, and therefore the thought firmly implanted in the mind. Good method.
You must make your Mother very proud. (notice the capital letter, all Jewish Mammas not only deserve capitals, they speak in capitals)

Yes it was well attended, Steve2- except the demographics was not like it was 20 years ago- I saw maybe 4 school age teenagers, a half dozen kids 6-10yrs and a smattering of little ones. It was overwelmingly the retiree set. I am guessing they had about 120 people- I had to park in the back row of the parking lot. I noticed only a handful of married couples 35-50 and most of the children seemed to be at the KH with only one parent- Lots of JWs over 70- sisters mostly- maybe widows.
They did ask me to come back- I can't imagine why they wanted some more of my medicine.
I drove into the parking lot and I tried to talk myself out of going inside- not that I was scared, but more along the line of- what good will it do?

It was so boring! The last elder's talk was based on the yearbook and someone gave me a xerox to follow along with- the elderly elder could have just read the paragraphs- He had almost no personal words- The brother who did the demo pretending to research a question from a workmate was, well, lame. - I noticed they only used the WT publications- no outside information was allowed- which is not how people do research in the real world- can you say , Google? JWs are at a big disadvantage with an informed householder.

This funny-
one JW ( in for 30 years - I asked) was trying to act stupid about not noticing the 1914 promise being taken out of the inside cover of the Awake, then another brother tried to save the day, saying the light gets brighter and brighter-
So I asked him- So who is the King of the North now? Is it still Russia? "well, umm, uhhh, some things we have to wait on to find out" ' I said, "It looks like to me your truth is like a light bulb going on and off, not getting brighter- got you didn't I?--" He took his book bag and bid me goodnight with a forced smile.
