  Who Was Your Favorite Speaker?

  no brag, just fact---i was the most requested speaker in my hall(s), i was often requested to give talks in kh's all over the place, not just in my area.. i personally enjoyed speakers who taught you something, not merely recited something.

  we had a district overseer, paul illingsworth, i loved his style.

  he delved into bible words of the original greek and hebrew.

  i think i've figured it out.

  being raised a jehovah's witness, it's like my life has been "on hold" for 50 years.

  pathetic.. while we've been hoping.....the rest of the world has been living..

  I am living better now...just in a sort of parallel universe. Some people call it a "double life." Some family are in so deep, I don't want to break hearts. (Waiting for thrashing from Wing and Moshe)

  CO admits from platform that "we were embarassed by 1975."

  this one is the most glib i've seen.. actually, several times "75" came up.

  maybe they feel the more they bring it up and make light of it, the more of a non-issue it will become..

  We were ALWAYS looking for "confirmation" from traveling overseers, Assemblies, Conventions, new publications, new hall dedications, special Bethel speakers, rumors, friends of "friends"......and we got it! Constantly. It WAS the push. If you didn't believe it, leadership would at the very least look down their noses at you, you were looked at as if you were weak, etc., blah, blah, blah.

  The people that thought/think is was/is inconsequential, were in the organization for their own selfish reasons. The whole push has been impending Armageddon.

  I am thinking that the resulting mental health and economic problems didn't REALLY start to show until the 90's, and it can be seen by the huge dependence on medications in the congregations (does not minimize the devestation a the time). It is really just starting to build steam. Kind of an "overlapping generation" type thing. It will continue to compound.

  Really, it's pathetic, but I'm kind of like the rubber neckers when they see an accident. Faded/inactive observer here. Never miss a CO visit.
