It's a publishing corporation delegates are business representatives no more no less.
Can't imagine Jesus and his apostles being allowed in especially if Jesus arrived on a donkey smelling of....... well donkeys and James and John smelling of fish.
It doesn't look as if Jesus would find any sick or crippled people there to cure either.
So I take it you're not going.... ;)
Well, if he did not qualify to go the the international then he has no special privileges anyway. I would show up if I pleased and tell everyone I was on holiday and just thought I'd catch some of the program. I woud also hit every pub in town and have a great time, but I am part Irish and you know how we like to drink and get loud.
man all this stuff is starting to bring up alot of old crappy memories.
I stopped doing all three days in a row because by day three, my mind was numb and I never retained anything. I would break it up.
I parked where I wanted
I chose my own hotel
I rarely commuted with other JW's so I didn't feel obligated to stay the entire time. In fact one year the speaker annoyed me so I left and enjoyed some Roscoe's chicken and waffles for breakfast
I never wore my badge outside the assembly. And I wore whatever clothes I wanted to wear.
I would leave the assembly to get lunch. Sometimes I made it back
And I would buy coffee at the evil coffee place inside Long Beach stadium. A letter went out not to purchase anything at the assembly such as the awsome lunches available and coffee in the morning. No one could tell me why we were discouraged from buying items there.
So now that Jah hates fat people, I guess I don't have to worry about attending anymore.
KEEPING IT FAT AND REAL!
Thinks that a 'special apostofest convention' should be arranged for July 13 - 15 2012, held at the citywest hotel, dublin....oh the fun that could be had!!!

Well Jesus would find plenty of people at the convention who need converting to Christianity however
he would find stony ground material because of their dedication to an organisation with leaders who have set themselves up directly in conflict with his teachings.
With all this planning is it possible that they are intending to bring some earth shattering (in JW land) changes to the organization at this special meeting? When you consider that they want no-one who is either spiritually or physically weak in attendance, including no young or immature children. They also want them to spend extra time together after the convention (for support?).
Has this special convention been held elsewhere or is it being held at the same time globally?
Maybe the WTS. is trying strain out the undesirables out their Publishing company, keeping just the most healthy and subserviently devoted.
Well, well, well....
It sounds as if they're trying to "repair" their extremely tarnished public image in Ireland....
As if marching a specially-selected group of "Stepford" Jehovah's Witnesses who have been screened for their "attractiveness" level, around Dublin, is going to wipe out all the ill-will that the Governing Body has caused with their harsh, hypocritical commands, demands and edicts....
Their barely-veiled requirements that the delegates be "attractive", is one of the most BRAZEN attempts at presenting a totally false face to the public, that I've EVER seen the Watchtower boys try!!
And the way they attempt to screen out the less-than-attractive JWs!!!
"All applicants should be in good health and not in need of the assistance of someone else..."
What the HELL happened to "brotherly love"??? I thought that "showing love amongst themselves" was the HALLMARK of "real" Christians!??! How many examples have we seen in the Watchtower (like "Andre's" examples) of some poor brother/sister being unable to do as much as they'd like to [or as much as the Watchtower Corporation would LIKE to squeeze out of them!] due to being physically handicapped, but GUSHING over the "luv" shown to them by their fellow Jehovah's Witnesses!!??!!
There was an example in a VERY recent Watchtower, of a woman with a crippling physical condition. They were certainly pleased enough to USE her as an example to whip the average Jehovah's Witnesses with guilt, guilt and more guilt!!!
But - allow HER or anyone LIKE HER to attend this "special" convention - HAH!! She doesn't "present" a desirable physical appearance, with her disability, so SHE WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED to attend!!!
B - L - E - A - H - !!!!!!!!!
And the way they talk about the "difficulties" getting to the convention!!!
"In the past, applications have been received from individuals with serious sight or hearing limitations... Others suffered from severe obesity and could not walk for long distances..."
And here's the kicker:
"In such cases, travel under difficult physical conditions could prove harmful to such ones' health.... ...all applicants are encuraged to give serious and prayerful consideration to their health limitations and personal safety...."
Isn't this the SAME DAYYAMED ORGANIZATION that BRAGS ABOUT THE BROTHERS & SISTERS WHO HAVE TO CROSS CROCODILE-INFESTED STREAMS TO GET TO THEIR WEEKLY MEETINGS???????
GAWDDDESSS, the hypocrisy makes me want to SPIT TEN-PENNY NAILS!!!!
Damn, where were these restrictions back when I was a kid, forced to attend the Pasadena Rose Bowl DA (Sept 1963, and I was almost 6 years old at the time)? It was hotter than hell and we were stuck a couple of hours on a bus trying to just get into the stadium. No Air Conditioning on the bus, of course. And what I remember best about being stuck? I had to pee, and there was nowhere to go! I had to go into a drinking cup in front of everyone, my first "most embarrasing moment" I can remember.
Boy, it sucked being a kid and being stuck for EIGHT days in the heat from morning till night, with nothing to do except listen to endless droning...sounding like the parents in a Charlie Brown special: Wahwahwah, wa waawa wawawa
If they'd had this kind of requirements I would have been spared half a lifetime of week-long boredom sessions!
