It seems in that congregation, they thought the Assembly day announcement was to tell them to watch it, not avoid it. Too funny!!
Marilyn-Thats HILARIOUS!!!!

Flower, the thanks goes to YOU and Jen. TY especially for picking me up and getting me home. And dont forget about your "lil guy". Hes is so cute and was a pleasure to play with. You have done a GREAT job raising him.

TY ((((Somebody)))). Yep, it was a blast. I took DJ equipment as well as about 750 CD's and played alot of tunes, even for her neighbors. That way, I figured there would be no complaints. (Hee Hee) I think I may have gotten a gig out of the deal from her neighbor!!! YIPPEEE!!!
Refiners, Star-I wish more could have attended. It was so upbeat, not like some dull JW event where you have to watch who's watching you for fear of "theocratic council." LOL
Bring on ANOTHER APOSTAFEST!!!!

Badwillie, NeonMadman, i8emallup, and B_ster were the members from this board who attended, as well as myself.
There was NEVER a dull moment, as we listened to music and drank, drank, and drank EVEN MORE well into the wee hours of Sunday morning.
Also, Flower and her roommate are wonderfully sweet ladies.
TYVVM FLOWER and JEN!!!!

at dinner last night, i began telling my mother more about the silentlambs issue.
i told her all about bill bowen and barbara anderson and the pandelos and the 'witch hunt' to get them disfellowshipped.
at first she was defensive of the policy, until i told her they live in 3 different states.
Marilyn,
Is great to see your mom using her OWN thinking abilities. My mom is very much the same way, and as Amazing stated, the relationship is with God. My mom stated a few years ago that she could see that the REAL apostates are the ones running the organztion. She is still in, and I do not see where she will ever leave, but its nice to see that she uses her own common sense and intelligence.

tri-city herald.
by shirley wentworth.
ritzville - erica rodriguez and her mother, alejandra garza, broke down and cried when the verdict came in.. it took slightly less than four hours for a seven-man, five-woman adams county superior court jury to declare manuel beliz, 48, of othello guilty of two counts of first-degree child rape and two counts of first-degree child molestation.
TY for bringing this thread back.
Barbara Anderson, part of a group fighting clergy-based sex crimes, is one of about 20 advocates from around the country who traveled to Adams County for the trial to lend support to Rodriguez. Anderson previously worked as a research assistant in the Jehovah's Witnesses New York headquarters. She said she gave the Dateline news show, which had a crew covering the Beliz trial, documentation describing how the church's leadership is well aware of sexual child abuse within its organization and helps cover it up.Yep, as far back as August last year, it has been known that Babara Anderson

* not only do you attend apostofests, you manufacture little badges with smurfs on them to wear to them!.
* more than one of your friends is simply "that guy from the apostofest".. * your name is "apostofest guy" (see tourist guy!).
* you travel over national borders in order to attend apostofests.. * you know all the regular posters here by their first names.. * you own a collection of smurfs.. * you have been referred to as the spawn of satan more than once by a jehovah's witness (bonus points for this sort of thing coming from an elder).. * you run an anti site!.
How to tell if you are an Apostate...
1. Your definition of a TROLL is not a fictional character from Lord of the Rings, nor a creature which lives under a bridge, but rather a JW APOLOGIST sh*t-starter who argues the FACTS on apostate sites. (btw, this troll DOES live under rocks @ the KH)
2. You send out Thank You cards when JW family members call you an Apostate.

the "please be seated" post rememded me of our experiences at the last district assemblies we attended.. it was in the nynex / manchester evening news arena and it was hot ... damn hot.
they were obviously being 'cheap' and not paying for the air conditioning to be turned on.. liam was a baby and was becoming unwell because of the heat.
he was overheating badly which is pretty dangerous at that age so we stripped him off and took him out up the steps to the concourse.
Mazza, Ang:
Isnt it amazing how one is not trusted in a so called "spirtual paradise?"
