yes shirley in Queens mother started studying when i was 6yrs. I will call that born in i guess. made my own choice at 15 (yea right) something funny, i really never felt I was indoctrinated. even as a child and adolesant I've never really fully believed this stuff. I've never studied hard (only as an elder). Always had worldly friends. Always DRANKED AND $$%%%ED ( IN PRIVATE ON THE DL) OFCOURSE ) THINK IM TALKING TO MUCH? FEELS GOOD

Number one- Fact-it was dangerously overcrowed. Ok its one thing dropping the ball on this one. because somebody did. Or they just didnt care. But to turn around and blame the friends for it is just crazy. FRiday afternnoon The brother made this annoucement that if this was not your assigned convention you can go to bkln or queens assembly hall. Which they had just opened up. I mean i dont think thats why it was overcrowed. they had to many circuits going at one time (my observation) I've been here for a long time. I never saw nothing like this before. It took 45min just to get in the parking lot ,got there by 8:15 didnt get seat until 9:30. The lines for the womens bathrooms were 30 forty strong felt sorry for them.
Number two- I heard from eyewitnessess that their were actual fist fights at the gates for seats. Nooo not just pushing and shoving but fist fights????? Look, I ask him three times was he lying (he had a pregnant wife)he said even she was getting pushed around. He looked so discourged. He said he was embarrassed
Number three-Sunday we went to the queens assembly hall it had a comfortble attendance of only 800 out of about 1500seats why didnt they do that in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They Blamed the friends for the overcrowed conditions????????? IS IT JUST ME?????

Finally some good news for us nonbeleivers! :)
by suavojr inpope francis assures atheists: you dont have to believe in god to go to heaven.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-assures-atheists-you-dont-have-to-believe-in-god-to-go-to-heaven-8810062.html.
in comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, pope francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of la repubblica newspaper, eugenio scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by god if they followed their consciences.. responding to a list of questions published in the paper by mr scalfari, who is not a roman catholic, francis wrote: you ask me if the god of the christians forgives those who dont believe and who dont seek the faith.

Phizzy-right on
BB-interesting
njp-thats crazy
My take is thats its their method of control. They really don't trust the bros to just go out because they want to, rather big bro is always watching you. Right now going from door to door is a formality for show. I mean its very annoying to people, bordering on creeppy. Time consuming. I hate it, always did.never really injoyed it. I ask my wife of 28yrs- baptized in 1976 when was the last time you started a study going from door to door. Blank stare. (exacly) Me personally I dont want to start a study. Short story-I was in FS once working door to door (had stepped off as a elder allready by then) . This uppiddy Elders Wife and young sister was working a door on the second landing of a house, another two sisters didnt see them and started working on the 1st landing. just mentioned to elders wife that they were there because she couldnt see them. She very rudely said out loud oh it doesnt matter!!. Later i just mentioned to her Elder husband, not what she said so much, but how she said it (disrespecful in front of everybody) You Know what he ask me? Who was taking the lead that day? As if to say i had no right to say any thing to her. Ok thats when the street came out. I ask him if someone came up to his wife and smacked her or attacked her Im supposed to go looking for the bro who's taking the lead that day??? Blank Stare (Exacly)

This new JW video is so stupid that it has to be a troll
by Pacopoolio inrecently, my mother, who had stopped talking to me because i was 'apostate,' started speaking to me again.. (note that i successfully faded as opposed to ever being disfellowshipped due to dodging every elder question with "i'm not sure, i'm still searching and trying to find the answers.").
the reason why?
at the international convention this year, they receieved a new video called something or other.

Yo peeps i'm not even going to waist my time by watching this video. All 5 of my children are grown left the religion as soon as they got out of their teens. they went thru the same problems that young folks go thru made some mistakes like we all do. All of them doing just fine now. In fact I am proud of them. None ever got baptized. At least I can speak and associate with them. HA! Now make a video like that. I'll watch that. Videos not realistic. Pure Fantasy!!!! Just supports their aggender. Is this where all those kingdom hall funds go into producing such films?

Conventions
by free2beme inas the conventions are in full swing, and my relatives who are still in make a point to tell me what their vacation will include.
i am reminded of a couple of things about conventions i do not normally think about.. one, the people who would protest the conventions.
some with bags on their head, others just holding signs.
