i have not been to a meeting for about 2 years now.
i do not intend to go back but one thing has me baffled.
why do ones that have faded and been out for years return?
There are prison inmates who return because prison works for them, they enjoy the enforced routine, it gives them a sense of security, people invented religion because it's a source of security against death and the unknown, the world can be a cold place, some reason that false security is better than no security at all,

well now; filming on the set of 'planet of the apes' was a blast.
being the 'muscle' in general aldo's militia was a great opportunity for kicking some serious butt.
i'm looking forward to having another crack at it.. .
"They EVEN took my ICE CREAM MONEY and now THIS is where I have to live!!"

today i read some news story's about the property deals of jw.org in brooklyn.
they made good money and good connections.. but i'm sure jw.org made a very, very big mistake in brooklyn.
they did.. they sold and are selling all the property for money.
Any appreciation of their own cultural heritage evident? Were there any holdbacks for a small museum, for children to see "where it all began"? This is a major American originating religion, I would think these buildings would attract the attention of Historical Societies, even though Watch Tower enjoys abandoning her own history, I'm curious,

Home but hiding no doubt, they'll get theirs HEH HEH!
http://www.wday.com/news/4291635-thousands-plan-gather-jehovahs-witness-dont-give-convention.
this weekend thousands of people are gathering at the scheels arena in celebration of their faith.. jehovah's witnesses from around the world are assembling for the "don't give up" convention.. .
the morning starts with a music presentation and then continues on through the day with prayer, song, and speeches.. the theme centers around supporting each other and including everyone in the good will.. everyone is invited and all questions regarding jehovah's witnesses are welcome.. really?
What is a "freewill" donation? Do you mean that I will only be GUILTED into giving the same as every other religion under the sun as opposed to say actually tackling me and going through my wallet? Will I be allowed to keep my ice cream money?

the july jw broadcasting camera zooms in on tony's ring at around the 8:30 mark here:https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201707_1_video.
maybe it's not a big deal.
maybe it is.. in my opinion, it's being kind of flashy.
Tepid Poultry lll I like the sound of that!

version 1. john denver at his concert asks "if there are any jehovah's witnesses in the audience can you please leave.".
version 2. on the johnny carson show he said the same before singing a patriotic song.
johnny carson told denver "see that cameraman there..and that lighting guy...there jehovahs witnesses, alot of witnesses work for me because their honest people..so now you can leave.".
That was a fine outline brother HOWEVER I will want to huddle after the meeting where I will council you on being a miserable human being (much like John Denver R.I.Lake of Fire (we think) :)
i'm fairly new on here and i've told a lot of my story but to recap, after 60 odd years i've stopped going to the meetings.
my husband had already left the truth years ago and my children didn't become jws.(phew!).
i had a horrendous childhood growing up as a witness which included sexual assault by a close relative, also a jw.
I don't know what your intentions are but just to let you know, back in the day if you reported zero hours 6 months in a row you would be officially "inactive™"
All the best,
Stay in touch,
