  What were you favorite book in the organization? I know what you're thinking...LOL!

  what were *your favorite *books in the organization?.

  out of all of those books, i liked "mankind's search for god.

  " however, it appears to me that this book is incredibly obscure and no one recalls studying it during the old book study format.

  here is another jackson's misleading answer, from the transcript of august 14 :.

  25 q. do you accept corporal punishment?

  29 a. not not personally, no, and not as an organisation 30 we don't encourage it.

  Jackson was talking out of his ass for most if not all of that interview.

  Speaking anecdotally (if that counts) every hall I have ever attended and also working in mothers and babies at assemblies I have witnessed the spanking of children, regularly.

  Every born-in I have ever known has admitted to also being spanked as a child.

  It happens. We all know it happens. The GB knows it happens.

  Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny

  by Theburstbubble in

  at our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.

  apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.

  this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

  Games we shall call: How to survive the RC without fantasizing about blowing your brains out, oh this takes me back!!

  Try this. Roll up tiny bits of torn up paper and see how many you can place on the head of the person in front of you before they shake their head. It helps if they have big hair.

  NY44M - the sisters wearing a t-shirt that shows a map of the convention grounds would solve that problem.

  They say women can't read maps, but I could happily tell the brothers where to go.

  They may as well just drop the music and chant the words in a monotone .

  "For the greater good......all hail the GB.....tight pants are gay....die apostates die....."
