So true. I attended the Memorial this year, and the one song that I recall sung every time on this ocassion (can't think what it's called at the moment...it'll come to me) has had the tune changed for the worse. Perhaps the Congregation were starting to enjoy singing it? In contrast, I can think of many hymns that are 'uplifting' and sung with passion.

Meetings at the Kingdom Hall are TRUE worship!
by punkofnice in...or so i used to think.. what is worship?.
not sitting listening to wtb$ corporation propoganda which is more a sales seminar than worship.. not giving talks, sermons or demonstrations designed to make you better sales persons in field misery for the benefit of your reputation when the elders jusde you.. not constantly being hypnotized to believe i am not good enough and must do more or my imaginary friend in the sky will lovingly kill me soon (terms and conditions apply and are subject to 'overlapping').
not answering from a hi-lited piece of litter-trash at indoctrination sessions designed to make you better recruiters so the gb can have power and money.. if i were god i wouldn't consider 7.5million sheeple obeying 7 power trippers in brooklyn worship to me.....idoliary, yes.

So the outcome could set a Precedent and further prosecutions could take place in other Australian states..? (I'm just thinking outloud and marking thread, lol) There is a certain irony about the $144,000 fine for each of the 35 cases - wasn't 1935 the original 'cut off' date for the 144,000 ?

I've always thought the 'annointed' are delusional. JWs tend to have a leaning toward 'mental illness' (the amount I know who are on 'medication'...sheesh)...so I believe it's just another area of mental illness.
On the 'entertaining' side - there are members of the annointed who haven't been born yet, lol.

You've obviously thought about it - you know what you want - so why not go for it (IF you're really sure) ? 42 is the new 30, lol.

My Uncle is Dying.
by LouBelle innearly a year ago my uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer - he initially thought it was just a bladder infection and it took him passing out to go have more serious tests.
thus he received this news and shared it with us, his family.. the family rallied behind him and we all did everything we could to get him to his treatments, make sure he ate properly and supported him.
my cousins came out from the uk when it looked like he was going to die in a couple of days.

Iconoclast - I had to force my hubby to eat veggies when I married him because he was convinced that the only way you cook veggies is to boil the hell outta them and he woudn't eat em
Are you suggesting that when cooking Christmas dinner, we put the sprouts on to boil around mid-October? lol

I'm local to both Birmingham and the Black Country (I have some difficulty understanding the dialect, lol). I felt compelled to post this picture, a Black Country pub which has 'subsided' due to mining industry - you feel Brahms before even having a drink, lol (Brahms = Brahms and Liszt = p*ssed)

Any JW, please help- I need just one thing!
by moshe in--the name of a real live (not dead) member of the faithful and discreet slave class- someone who has admitted in public they are one of the f&ds and who can verify they have been providing the "meat in due season" for the governing body.
obviously the gb can't be the f&ds, because they are neither discreet nor do they have a position of servitude- no, they have made it plain they are the bosses over jws and jws have to obey their words, as if jehovah and jesus were speaking them, or else they will get the disfellowshiped.
just one verifiable name will do and how you obtained it.. the governing body claims that the f&ds are directing them and the worldwide work of jws, but they have never proven that they have a f&ds class they communicate with- just have one of the annointed call bethel and ask to speak to one of the gb and see what the switchboard operator does with their call.

i do not know how the blogger who posted this infamous wt cover (5/15/84) got all the names of those who posed for this magazine cover, or whether the names are even correct, but if he got it right, man, what a provocative statement.. .

So anyone with their bluetooth device turned on would automatically receive the image? Your bluetooth would search for other activated bluetooths and send the pic to whichever device is turned on?
No, the recipient would have to accept it, but MY thinking is that they would most likely accept it as it could only have been sent from within the Kingdom Hall because of the range. So, they wouldn't be suspicious of who it came from, a fellow JW (but they'd know a flier would have come from an outsider). So far better chance of successfully delivering info.
