stan, obviously the WTS no longer uses those words/phrases. But they once did. We can learn from WTS history.
no--i wasnt taking a pop at you---rather commending your knowlege.
2 congregations met together attendance 355 which is close to exact number of combined publishers.
only saw a couple of new faces.
so it looks like once again the invitation work was a complete failure and relatives of jw's couldn't be talked into coming anymore!.

so my husband who was not attending meetings for the last four months, went to the special talk, the memorial and the meeting today.
he said he feels jehovah’s spirit is back and that they are all being so kind.. i am just sick to my stomach.
he just refuses to see anything as a problem.
i must be missing something.
youve both been dubs for many years--youve had enough--and quit. he is still dithering. dont make a big deal out of it. if your marriage is still good in all other departments, just put up with this phase hes going through--it could be a lot worse--like if you were the devout one and he was really opposed--think what life would be like for you then.
well after 11 years it's finally out!.
this book could have never have happened if not for the jwd web site and the wonderful people here!

i got the impression a lot in the audience were unaware of what was going on. just sat there--switched off....so thats normal then. sit there--stupified..not taking anything in..till the closing prayer--then they know its over.
the hardest part for them is trying to stay awake. those chairs look too comfortable.
i picked the list below somewhere, and i would like to hear your opinions on it.
what would you keep or change?

I almost wonder just how many submarines there are? Do they consider themselves as jws? Its nothing new..i knew lots who only showed up for the nisan 14 bash..50 years ago.. wannabe armageddon survivors
so i went to the memorial the other night, there's a kingdom hall on the bus route back from a local college where i was doing some research and admiring the architecture.
i'm in my street clothes, i look nice but i stood out like a sore thumb.
i went in as it started and got a seat in the back.
Why attend if youre out of it?
i remember reading somewhere (perhaps on here?
) than an entire congregation disassociated and started their own congregation after decided that the gb were apostate.. was this an urban myth or is there any evidence of this?.
"Many years ago in the 60's, there was one particular guy who pretty much led his own cult. Half the Congregation eent off the rails and what was left was merged with Titchfield/ Fareham congregation."
Astonishing! I was actually attending the newly-formed Tichfield congregation back in 1968. It met in rooms above The Queen's Head pub. My dad was PO. He told me that there had been some problems with one of the congos with which we'd became amalgamated but I didn't make the connection with Bishops Waltham until just now.
snuggs--do you know cantleave ? if not--i can link you if you are on facebook.
it is all about how you have hurt Jehovah,
how utterly ridiculous.
as if a persons sexual misbehaviour could possibly hurt god almighty.
childish.
but then the whole thing is nonsense.
