  "who out there has that quote from the wt about how since the catholic church claims to be the way of salvation for millions of people that they should be ready to, essentially, debate the issue, defend their position?

  if it's right for the catholic church, then it's even more right for the wtb&ts, who claims to speak directly for god!

  Many thanks for that. I just checked it out. Here is the full quote...

  The WTS's hypocrisy is so bare faced, so monumental I keep asking myself why did it take me 60 years to see it?

  As a previous poster, Focus, once stated,

  I wish THE WORLD TO KNOW that the Watchtower Society and the Creed of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a CHEAT, a 100% SCAM, a WICKED TRICK, a FILTHY LIE, a BLASPHEMOUS INSULT, a SCANDAL, a FRAUD, a DISGRACE, an ABOMINATION and a DAMNED OUTRAGE from start to finish.

  Yes, the Mitcham ground has long since been housing. As you were 3 at the time you probably don’t remember but the 69 Wembley stadium and Pool combined was I think a tortuous 8 day stint or was that an early 70’s Twickenham event? I’ve forgotten so much so the de-programming is working fine.

  There were also a few D/A held at Wimbledon Football Ground in the 70’s.

  You list your age as 38. Is that subterfuge as 3 in ’69 doesn’t quite add up?

  While we’re reminiscing who remembers the 2 conventions held at the REAL Crystal Palace (the football ground that is) one in the 70’s and one in the 60’s?

  Then there were the circuit assemblies at the Dorking Assembly Halls opposite the later converted cinema assembly hall.

  And also at Wimbledon Baths and Kingston Coronation Baths in the 60’s and later Wimbledon Town Hall.

  My first assembly was Mitcham Football Ground in I think 1955 at which I spent 1 week pre assembly cleaning the stands and gullies.

  My favourites were the days spent at Twickers when all areas outside the stands were covered in cinders. At the end of the day everyone’s feet were black. Pre assembly work used to start about 8 to 12 weeks before the Assembly and go on for up to 2 weeks after. Perhaps I remember it fondly because.... no, there is no reason to remember it fondly. It was a complete and utter waste of time
