That's it?
What a dud of a meeting.
Not much imagination or innovation in WT-world these days.

That Mark wasn't even an MS yet and in his late teens partaking of the emblems.
Always wondered when he started to partake.
In a sense, you have to admire his tenacity, being such a young kid and enduring all the side-eyes & snickers when he reached for the plate, year after year, but keeping his head down and not doing anything overtly goofy. Lots of self-discipline.
There was no guarantee he'd grow up to be a GB member - in fact, in the 80's, everyone expected the end "soon" because of the [old light] generation teaching and it had been 70+ years since 1914.
Don't get me wrong, he's just as delusional as any of the on the GB, but it's kind of impressive that he "stuck to his story" despite undoubtedly intense scrutiny & discouragement at the beginning.
It's a shame he didn't / couldn't channel that tenacity to do something at least vaguely beneficial instead of following a silly "theocratic career path".

The Great Tribulation must be at least 3 years away
by BourneIdentity insince they’ve announced the dates for the next 3 memorials, no talk about this “may be our last one!”.
since they’ve announced the patterson construction project will take 3 years to complete.
let’s also not forget when they designed warwick, they spent money on expensive energy saving technology to save millions in the long run, years and decades in the future.

with the Warwick compound serving as the de facto planetary capital.
That's going to be a pretty miserable place to live without electricity.
Generators? Someone will have to produce oil, refine it, transport it, etc. Where does the power to do all that come from, with virtually all Armageddon survivors having only a high school education?
Well, it may be a miserable place to live, but at least the windows will be clean.

If the elders & members of the congregation would be that anxious & willing to disobey the "faithful and discreet slave", what would be the point of continuing to attend meetings, whose primary objective is to convince the listeners to mindlessly obey the FDS?
And if they're not going to attend meetings, why do they need a Kingdom Hall?

You May Now Embrace the Bride!
by jp1692 injust yesterday, a pimi jw that i've known for years told me that at the end of a wedding they recently attended in pennsylvania, usa, the "brother" that officiated the ceremony concluded by saying to the bride and groom, "you may now embrace the bride.
no kissing.
just a hug.

It's been a while since I've been to a JW wedding, but I've never ever heard of this.
It's not hard to imagine, though, some little podunk town with a something-seriously-stuck-up-their-collective-patooties BOE making up a rule: "no kissing allowed in the Kingdom Hall! Think of the children!"
