  And if you press "NO", when do you get a 2nd chance to press "YES"?

  Let's distance the 1914 date from the establishment of the kingdom. That way they can start saying that they never did say it. We are going to see more and more of this date not having any jw connection. Then the new light will be announced at some future agm. Or maybe they will just quietly say nothing.

  Jehovah’s Witnesses Recognize That People Have the Right to Change Religions, Just Not Their Religion

  jehovahs witnesses say that people have the right to change religions and that they deserve respect when it comes to that right, but this is not something that they offer to those who leave their religion.

  At 5min in this speaker says that one of the reasons a DFed person wants to return, is so they can have association with the Brothers and Sisters again. What? "association with the Brothers and Sisters again". That is completely the wrong reason for returning. The real reason a DFed person should want to return is if they want to rekindle their relationship with Jehovah. NOT because of family and friends, this attitude should be considered a self centered one from the DFed person and not the type of person that Jehovah would want associating with his people.

  This type of reasoning is plan wrong, but then again, every witness lapping this up would be thinking that this is a marvelous provision from Jehovah, and there is nothing wrong with it.

  One chart says 5% of witness's live with a partner whom they not married too. how does that work?
  

  Also the sample size on average is only 250 people,

  i was thinking of this when i was sitting at the kingdom hall today.

  one of the paragraphs in the watchtower stated that the type/anti type teachings were too hard for some to understand.

  i could never figure them out never made sense to me.

  When no one understands what it is they are trying to tell us, the default answer is "It all makes sense now". It all makes sense because I read it with my own eyes in a WT mag.

  there's something that i've always wondered about yet could never truly understand.

  does anyone know why during district assemblies a prayer is done during the last day after coming back from lunch?.

  i can't quite remember if it's done other days but i believe this is done on the last day.

  After more than 20 years of going to assemblies/conventions I hadn't picked up on this one. We got an assembly in a few weeks time, now they are only one day long so will be interesting.

  Celebrate that the meeting is over and reflect on how much sleep I got. Freedom for another 3 or so days till the next meeting. Then repeat the above. If I'm able to miss a meeting, well that's even better.
