Where did the Buzz go?
by snugglebunny ini recently came across the very first kingdom song i ever heard.
twickenham, 1955. i was just a kid then of course, but i do recall the "buzz" that seemed to permeate everything, not dis-similar to that of an international rugby match.
people were smiling while singing their hearts out, the lunch-time queues for the cafeteria full of old friends getting re-aquainted, young lads and lasses eyeing one another and blushing furiously, sessions 2 untl 4 then 7 until 9.30 giving folk plenty of time to socialise.. where did it all go wrong?.

I think another thing that changed was taking food service out of assemblies and conventions. It seemed like those times where everyone could help out. It was a great way to meet new people. Nowadays, if you dont spiritually qualify for service, you can only volunteer to clean with your congo. No one mingles anymore, its just people talking to people they already know. There is no real love. -

Reports of lower memorial attendance
by thedepressedsoul ini have heard a lot of reports from kingdom halls in the area that there was less than last year, for both time slots.. we had the first time slot and we were down 50+/- compared to last year.
last year we had the lobby full of people standing and this year we had empty seats and no one standing.
we ran out of parking last year and this year we made it.. like i said i am hearing quite a few reports of this from halls in our area.however, somehow the number seem to inch up every year.

Only growth is in third world countries. I meet in a double hall, our side was standing room only, the other side had empty seats.
My hall is a very big hall of over 150 pubs, hardly anyone lives in our territory but come because the elders are friendlier. The other hall that had empty seats has extremely harsh elders and is a small congo.

Ever Think About This One? Another Bible Contradiction
by freemindfade in8you must not make for yourself a carved image+ or a form* like anything that is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.-deuteronomy 5:8. .
18 you are to make two cherubs of gold; you will make them of hammered work on the two ends of the cover.+ 19 make the cherubs on the two ends, one cherub on each end of the cover.
20 the cherubs are to spread out their two wings upward, overshadowing the cover with their wings,+ and they will face each other.

How about in the bible study this week they talked about how Jesus loved kids, yet we await a future time when Jesus is going to execute kids because their parents do not read the Watchtower!
I can feel the love right there!

New WT property for A/V production
by respectful_observer inso the wts just bought yet another corporate building in upstate ny.
this time it's a building to house a/v production a few minutes from patterson.

I also think it has to do with getting building permits approved by the town of Patterson. But I here they have 3 building permits approved and they are waiting to start construction after warwick is completed. -

by lostinthought inforgive me if this has been posted already but this was in my local paper today.. http://m.recordonline.com/article/20150307/news/150309486/0/wap&template=wapart.
if you have time to read, this is an interesting article talking about watchtowers property in ulster and orange county ny and how much the properties are worth.
it also goes on to show how the tax exempt stays is hurting the communities..

Having served at the Farm, I can tell you that the local residents resent the Watchtower for this! That is people's biggest gripe.

What is the basis for authority for the governing body?
by Half banana ina word to jehovahs witnesses: what is the basis for the authority the seven members of the governing body can claim in controlling the lives of eight million followers?
the organisation they represent has never got one useful piece of information correct in one hundred and thirty five years... so why should they be believed?.

I realize that they will quote the scripture in ! cor. 13:8 about powers going away, but I wish someone would challenge them to a fire holder test, like Moses and Korah, or the fire from heaven elijah test. In either case I believe that absolutely nothing would happen. It would prove they are frauds, or vice versa if it actually worked. -

The guy in the video who turns down the promotion does it because he knows his wife will nag him that he misses meetings. That is the situation for many of us stuck in by marriage. When I skip, I'm happy, have no anxiety, but when the wife gets home I get guilt tripped and nagged about not going.
But when I go, my wife is happy but I am miserable. No peace either way! It really sucks to be in this situation
