Special Talk in April
by RubaDub inevery year there is a "special talk" given around the end of march or april.
having heard dozens of them over the years, i never quite figured out what was "special" about them.
certainly no "new light" or anything ... just ... well .... the same stuff.. am i correct or not in my observation ???.

The only Special Assembly Day/ Special Talk that stands out in my mind was one that my family attended when I was 11 or 12 years old. It was in Wichita, Kansas and the reason I remember it is because all of the JWs were in a tizzy and warning us about the "apostates" who were outside, trying to talk to the JWs and give us pamphlets.
I remember one "apostate" man trying to talk to my dad as we were crossing the street and I remember asking my dad why we could not listen to them and why were the JWs so afraid of them. It struck me as unfair that we went about witnessing to people and wanted people to stop and listen to us but that the JWs would not listen to these "apostates" who felt that their message to us was just as important. I figured that if we really had the truth, there was nothing to fear in listening to those people or reading their pamphlets. Now that I know the JWs did not and do not have the truth, I can see why they were and are so afraid of "apostates" (people who tell the truth about the Troof). That guy planted a seed of doubt in me way back then and, most likely, did not even realize it!
So, that was my most outstanding Special Assembly Day. The rest of them were just the usual, boring and repetitive stuff and I do not remember too much about them.

Do You Feel Better Since You Stopped Meetings?
by minimus inso many witnesses have been ill. i'm not talking about the flu or a cold, either.
many witnesses suffered from ailments that were not necessarily common to most people.
i know of jw's that had to literally run out of the meetings every week because they said they were allergic to perfumes and different scents.

Thank you blondie and jgnat for your comments on the WT Study Article for next Sunday. I like to keep up on what my mom is hearing at the weekly indoctrination sessions. So thanks to you both for your weekly comments/discussion. Bullsh*t bingo at KH would be great fun, eh? LOL
Blacksheep: Good deal on reminding us about the conflicting messages the WBTS/GB is constantly sending to the rank and file JWs. Combatting Cult Mind Control is a great book! Wish I could get my JW relatives to read it!
