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.

8If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bull $hit
by hoser ini 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.

Prayer During District Assemblies
by Tenacious inthere'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. -

Another "reaching out" guilt trip this weekend, apparently.
by OneEyedJoe ini just got word that the brothers of my congregation is "encouraged to attend a special meeting" this saturday.
i was told to bring the od book, and the 9/15/14 and 4/15/15 study wts.
judging by the articles in those, it's going to be another guilt trip to get all us dead-beat kids in our 20s and 30s to "reach out" to be jr. cult leaders.

I haven't heard of one being planned in our area. But I've been to them before. "We need more brothers to take the lead". I only show up to these to keep everyone happy. -

You only need to hear this from stage and see it in the mag for it all to totally make sense. -

Changing images
by maisha inawhile ago i was mentioning how many of the images in watchtowers last year were containing addins with skulls, demon like faces and blatant illuminiti imagery.
i recently went into the download sites again to grab some of those images and blow me away they have all been changed, cropped, edited, i can say that because i have some those original digital images from the magazines of last year, however the images currently on download sites are not the same some completely removed.
one such image of jesus coming on an ass has been cropped, removing the name of the hidden name of the artist,,,, and altering a huge demon like face on the window.... has anyone else noticed this?..

Something a CO once said.
by cappytan in"there are only three reasons you should miss a meeting.
fever, fracture or funeral.
everything else is a sorry excuse.

He said "Funeral" was a reason to miss a meeting? I'm sure I have heard it said "Let the dead bury the dead". In other words, don't miss meetings because someone has died. -

25 YEARS of compiled yearbook statistics
by 88JM inhello again folks - as promised in my last thread here, i've been working on turning yearbook statistics into excel spreadsheets.. coincidentally, today is my 25th birthday (spare a thought for a fader).. i've now updated the spreadsheet with yearbook data all the way back to 1988 (the year i was born), therefore it now contains 25 years of statistics.. there were a lot of countries changing around and for some it was possible to create a continuation of data.
some are a simple change of name like south-west africa to namibia.
others, for example - in 1993 with czechoslovakia splitting into two countries (czech republic and slovakia) i have added an extra row that provides a continuation of the data, combining czech republic and slovakia back together as if they were still one country.

Wow, that came from JW Broadcasting. That means its wrong to miss a meeting because of work. Poor wife has to go on her own. Does she work to provide any income? I guess not because she is filling out a pioneer form.
