the theocratic ministry school, which started in 1943, has to be the most boring and dullest meeting of the 5 weekly meetings that witnesses have to attend.

this is also probably the least attended meeting, with the book study group coming in a close second.

having sat through possibly a thousand of these monotnous meetings, i wonder how anyone can possibly be excited about joinging the tms.

The Watchtower study is definitely the worst. I always try to busy myself doing something else, (i.e. re-orgaizing stickers in my daughter's sticker book) then checking back to see what paragraph we were at. Becoming especially proud of myself if I had managed to pass over 3 or 4 paragraphs. A few weeks ago there were only 18 paragraphs instead of 21. I almost cried with joy.

.

it is reputed that some followers of ctr gathered at a bridge in pittsburg for the end of the world.. it is also alleged that ctr was there in white robes.

Funny you should mention that. I was having dinner with a dubbie this weekend and she told me they all gathered on the Brooklyn Bridge in white robes, thinking they were going to "ascend to heaven." Not sure of the date, but I assume it was in 1914. Boy, they must have looked dumb. Does anyone else know anything about this?

Just kidding. I've thought of leaving but am too scared to live without health care, no matter how basic it's becoming.

i am one of those lurkers who finally decided to post and introduce myself.

i could possibly win an award for the longest addicted reader without posting ever.

i started reading this site when the old h2o shut down - what was that - 3 or 4 years ago.

Hi Chloe! We're glad you're hear.

Isn't it sad when religion is what turns someone away from God?

even more adventures at the district convention

well, i have once again found myself at that extravaganza of masochism, the district convention.

this year, however, since my kids were still in school, i was able to skip out on the first day, and join in for only the last two days.

Thank you Thank you Thank you! It is so much easier to pretend I went when I have funny anecdotes to tell. The info was sooo valuable.

the denbigh, virginia kingdom hall was destroyed by an accidental fire begun by a member who was welding and soldering pipes in a bathroom.

the insulation ignited and although he tried to extinguish the blaze, he was unsuccessful.

3 congregations used the building; now they have nowhere to meet and will have to rebuild.. http://www.dailypress.com/news/local/dp-36592sy0jun30,0,4261948

Wait...they were already considering tearing it down because of the flooding? But now they will get insurance money?

Accident?
