Yes I took my children to see it at the cinema and had exactly the same thoughts!

No worries Morph I didn't think they were 😊
Interesting I'll have a look at those watchtowers when I get chance. This happened 1992 so not that long ago really......well saying that it's nearly 30 years ago now. When did that happen?!

Well yes your quite right, it wouldn't change numbers at all.
Just thought I'd mention it as it is so unusual. I heard local cong friend's rib her about it every now and then as they think it's weird!

Well you'll all be interested to know that my mother in law was actually baptised twice.
Apparently she didn't properly "dedicate" herself to jehoover the first time. She left "the truth" and moved over sea's to marry....but was never disfellowshiped. Years and a couple of kids later she began attending again in the other country, decided she needed to get re-baptised and for some reason it was allowed.
So there we go you can get baptised twice! Why you'd want is another matter!

I heard that attendance was very low over both weekends. 3000 on the first weekend and 4000ish (including the Welsh circuit) this weekend just gone.
When I was attending at the Millennium Stadium about 5 years back I'm sure there used to be about 10,000 on average? If so that's a massive decline! Here is a link to the press realese publicity article if anyone's interested, its horribly cringy.

Guidelines For Proper Uses For Sold Kingdom Halls
by Charles Gillette inhow does the watchtower dispose of kingdom halls no longer usable because of poor attendance and or merging with another kingdom hall.the rank and file contributed lots of money to keep it active.. then they tell us their not using it anymore.where does the money for that hall go.
and what they do with the money they get for the sale of that property.
they certainly don't give the rank and file anything.. and what use will the new owners use it for.

This KH was sold a while ago and now being used as a tattoo and piercing studio! 😲 Now they have to travel fair distance to share a nearby hall. Is a prime location so must of made a packet on it.

Movies I'm Watching
by ILoveTTATT2 ini have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.it started out with a desire to watch as an adult all disney movies.
then it morphed into all bond movies (except for the non-canonicals).now it's turned into pretty much any and all movies.
here is my list, scratched out are ones i have seen, green are recent next-in line.turns out there was a lot i had never seen before, about 70% because of the cult restrictions!

It might be worth suscribing to NOW TV movies. They have loads of the films you want to watch on there. Just pay monthly price and that's it, cancel anytime. We've been doing it for the kids as there's so many disney and family films on it. Well worth it! Your list is pretty immense, a lot of them I need to watch too. People can't believe I've never seen the breakfast club!

Was the ransom premature? Shouldn't the effects of Adamic sin have been reversed at the time of Jesus' death?
by deegee inif the ransom was paid at the time of jesus' death (mark 15:45, matthew 20:28, 1 timothy 2:6, hebrews 2:9), then why weren't the effects of adamic sin (sickness & death) reversed at that time?.
it seems to me that either:- the payment of the ransom was premature.
- god was not satisfied with the payment of the ransom; it was not sufficient to make up for adam's & eve's so-called "sin".hasn't god extracted enough from mankind as payment for adam's & eve's "sin" given the billions of persons who have lived and died?.

I'm pretty sure the one where I live is a pokestop too. I live over the road from a baptist church and that's also a pokestop! Pretty funny but I'm sure someone I'm still in touch with on Instagram put that their kh was a Pokémon gym. I bet they are all playing on their tablets/phones whilst the snore fest is on....... another blessing from jehoovar. 😉
