Some of our elders went on the Saturday, so they were able to conduct the meeting on the Sunday with the assorted leftover riff raff.

Very strange, because here in the US, all one had to do was fog a mirror and you could attend.

Open to all baptized JWs and their unbaptized children.

Everybody got a Bible.

Apognophos

In fact, unbaptized adult publishers were also invited in the U.S. I agree that it's strange.

I'm an undercover apostate and I was invited. Apparently Holy Spirit wanted me there.

Go figure!

Interesting - when I asked my wife whetehr she was going to the AGM she didn't seem to know what I was talking about and then she didn't go to the KH on Sunday. So I wonder if she wasn't invited because she is married to an UBM, has been unsuccessful in getting my son to go, only goes on Sundays and was previously df'd. I hope so because that really helps my cause in getting her to stop going - the more they make her feel unloved the better for me!

Yes, I thought it funny that she blew it off...or perhaps wasn't told. Is she actively going out in to field service? If so, she should have been invited.

In our congregation it was about Surrey Assembly Hall not allowing reclining chairs so ones did not go.

Thank goodness I've not had to endure a few who have come back all smug just because they think they are special.

Frazzled UBM

jgnat - my wife only goes on field service on Sundays after the meeting at the KH but I would have thought that would be enough but I have suspected for a while that she is treated poorly at the KH for the reasons I outlined above, in particular the fact that is clear that there are not prospects of converting me> I htink that even her old school friend dpoes not treat her that well. So it would not be surprising if she had not been invited given that they seemed to have been more selective about who to invite in the UK. I iwll ask her gently about this again later if the chance presents itself.

Either that or she's not going out in service on Sundays after all Check the local coffee shops after the meeting.

i agree that those with "unbelieving mates" are not treated that well. But Witnesses love their rules. And one of the rules is if you are a "publisher", you get to go to the meeting. Regularly going out in field service on Sundays means she's a "publisher". Heck, my hubby has done a lot less and he got to go.
