Many times when taking a meeting for fs did I end up having to take other peoples children with me because they had too many and they couldn't take 3 or 4 to a door!
Thanks for the awesome summary and the extra comments and letters

if they were able to win on this ground, they could get out completely (although it could still be appealed to the ca supreme court).

it's not just the 'generation' of 1914 that is now gone; so has the 'great multitude' that judge rutherford presumptously declared existed in 1935. probably all of the persons who identifed themselves as members of the 'great multitude' at that convention in 1935 are now deceased.. decades later, in the 1990's, the society came up with 'new light' that the 'great growd' of revelation 7 does not form until the future great tribulation.
so all those people that stood up in 1935, and those who since believed they were members of a great crowd who would survive an impending great tribulation, were misled.
the isaiah's prophecy book hails this as an "outstanding moment in the ongoing fulfillment of...prophecy.".
"Millions Now Living Will Never Die"... what a dic#
at the request of some, i have gone through many of my posts of the last 3 years to collect all my methods i used to awaken my children to the truth about the truth.. from oldest to newest (i will do them in a few posts so its not an endless scroll thru).
had a bit of a chat today about the internet (which i know he likes to use at my place).
in his use of the net today i found one site he visited was one i had visited to get a pdf of a society publication.
Well done Oz... you should write a book, wait on, you have. Great work, you should be proud of yourselves! All three of you.
i am still new to the business of fading and once i stop attending the memorial with all the dubs around me, my former friends will definitly put my shepherding call on hold.
i am sure some of the friends faded quick and never turn their back toward the kingdom hall again.
i am curious if others took a longer approach to fading and dropping off completly.
We stopped attending in May 2005. I refuse to go for the memorial, if the other meetings are avoided, why put myself through the stress of this? It is great not to be guilted into this man made arrangement.
am i understanding this correctly?
you can do the 30 hour package either 2 or 3 times per year, depending on when the circuit overseer visits.
here is the way i get the new rules:.
What a waste of time!
boy.
the circuit assemblies have changed since i last went!.

i just read this in our local newspaper this morning and thought it is very interesting.
this law is aimed at door to door marketing by companies but i am wondering if this may end up including religious 'sales persons'.
the comments below the story are worth reading as jw's and religious callers are definitely who many people want stopped under this new law.. .
The re were similar articles in the Melbourne papers a week or two back. They will still allow for religious callers, charities and politicians. Probably the ones you want to be rid of the most!
it's this week, folks.
i thought i might give you a new thread to vent on.
many on our forum still go to the memorial or have to answer to family about not going.
Part of a Satanic ritual is to REJECT the body of Christ.... can you believe that. It is Satanic worship to reject jesus' body. How can we do this? By NOT partaking of the symbolic bread and wine.
Sound familiar?
i hope you find this entertaining.
anyone have the quote where rutherford was asked to leave bethel before he came back to take over?
here's the link to the video:.
very funny... you had me going there for a moment!
was looking at hypnosis ( always wondered why it works so well on some people - not because i want to convince everyone i meet to be my slaves - honestly ;) ) and i read something that stopped me in my tracks.
the articles author stated that most of the time we are in a state of hypnosis which is no more than our automated systems taking over from our conscious ones for example, when we drive home and realise we didn't think too hard about driving we just 'arrive home' we are in a mild hypnotic state; when we get immersed in a movie and lose our sense of where we are we are in a suggestible world where we potentially get moved by what we see etc.
all these are indicators of our conscious self focusing in such a way that our actual behaviours are handed over to our sub-conscious brain which is also our long term learning process.
I have studied hypnosis and am now a qualified clinical Hypnotherapist.
One thing that really struck me from the start was the similarity between group hypnosis sessions and public prayer at the hall... acomplishes the same thing!
