Two lists for the apointed?
by Samuel Thorsen inthe parttakers at the memorial service has always been counted and the number is put in the annual report.
someone told me however that these days the parttakers is counted and divided in to an a-list and a b-list.
the ones who makes it to the a-list is the serious, mature and believable persons and these people makes the number of breade eaters and wine drinkers in the annual report.

Taking the emblems
by Samuel Thorsen inas the number of the 144000 was sealed in 1935 it is funny how the satistics of the bread eaters/wine drinkers for memorial day goes up and down.
i wonder how many of todays parttakers who started before 1935.. are any of you bad and evil apostates taking from the emblems on memorial day just to make a mess of their statistics?
or do you consider doing it on the upcoming memorial day?

Did you lie before getting married in the KH?
by Samuel Thorsen inas you know every young couple who is planning to get married in the kh are asked a question about "clean conduct" a week or two before the wedding.
if you admit to have been fooling around to much you can forget about the kh and go and get married elsewhere.. i'm not married myself, but i was engaged to be married once and my soon-to-be father in law (an elder) recommended a certain elder to do the marriage stuff in the kh because he was a kind of easy on the mantadory questions.. fortunatly in never got that far because me and my girl split up about 2 months before the planned wedding, but i have been to a lot of kh weddings and i know for sure that some of the couples had to lie to cover up their conduct to get married in the hall.. but how common is this?.
did you lie before getting maried in the kh, or do you know someone who did?.
