  today is the day of the annual "special talk.

  sad.

  It was today? My wife didn't attend or try to do the phone connection. I thought it was next Sunday.

  Thanks for the information.

  Memorial Audience Filled with Unbelieving Mates and Other Miserable Relatives

  i looked around my hall and saw so many miserable unbelieving mates and relatives it was actually funny.

  they were in a glazed-over stupor.

  they looked liked children forced to go to an opera.

  I wonder how many Indian witnesses there are in the US. I wonder if the WTS will send a similar letter to the elders in other industrialized nations as well.

  Welcome. Thought your story was written very well. Wish I knew French as well as you know English.

  I won't ever forget my life as a witness. I can only speak for myself, but my witness life wasn't all bad. I had lots of friends and went to lots of social events. Now I'm free and know TTATT but I am also much more alone. I will never go back to all the lies but I won't forget the good times either.

  JW TV - Britain Branch Report

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  although it is titled as "britain branch report" it's not much of a report.

  it only goes for just over 6 minutes and half of it is some 'wild talk' about romeo and juliette, i say wild talk because it has nothing to do with the british branch and if there was any point to it, it's lost on me.. anyway, about the only thing said that is of any importance was this (at the 2.20 mark) -.

  "the governing body, very kindly, have given us permission to continue construction once we have reviewed the scope of the building so we hope to be underway very soon".

  how in the world did they justify this torture?

  imagine the children forced to sit in the summer heat at yankee stadium for 12 hours a day.

  for 8 days.

  I wasn't there, not born yet, but my parents and grandparents were all there. And I thought 4 days was bad.

  Kids and I went to keep peace in our house. Small price to pay for our freedom. Wife does some holiday stuff with us so it's all fair.
