They also had a big comfy chair in the back, supposedly for a sister with back problems. Well, if she didn't happen to show up for a meeting, there was a bee line to sit in it. Usually whoever was lucky to get the chair, fell asleep in it. LOL! Those Dubs! They are one of a kind aint they!

Are you allowed to fall asleep at the meetings now??
by stillAwitness inthe sercuit overseer gave the expierence about an interested one who would come to the meetings every sunday but admitted he would always fall asleep because he worked a double shift at work the night before.
the s.o said: "and sure enough he fell asleep during my talk.
" but he said that it was so encouraging because even though he worked the night before he still tried to get what little he could of the talk and the guy related afterwards: "i would not want to be caught falling asleep anywhere else but at the hall.

Let's suggest comments for Medical trend video
by troubled mind ini may force myself to attend the meeting that covers the 'medical trends video " coming up week of jan.30.
would any like to suggest comments for the review of the video ?
i hope to at least to add a comment on "how tolerable is anemia for humans " , by adding this advice really does not apply to those that are elderly or have heart conditions because it is a fact death rate is much higher for this group if anemia is also present.

Damn! I have pages of notes on this absurd video, but I left it at home.
Have you seen it? I bet they got a bunch of actors to play the doctors. Have the fake hospital scene, get the doctor's wardrobe...you can just hear one of the members of the GB yelling: "No NO! Don't pretend you are a real doctor...be a doctor! Let me feel it from within boy!"

Typical mind control efforts of making people believe they will miss important information not being there
Of course! You know the counsel about how even are bk studies should not be missed b/c that is where we will get direction from Jehovah during Armageddon as to where to go and possibly how to bury all the dead bodies.
Ohhhhhh....can't wait!

My Sercuit Overseer is a JERK!
by stillAwitness inwell my sercuit overseer visit was this week and this guy is a real a-hole.
apparently our mic handlers are pretty slow.
they always take forever to give the mic to the hand-raiser and sometimes even forget to turn the stupid things on first.

Oh and get this guys!
He told the congregation that he has been "feeling a little under the weather" and told us sisters to "Please refraim from wearing any perfumes or hand lotions" because it will interfere with his already stuffy nose.
How you gonna tell an audience of a 160 people to not wear perfume just to suit your own needs?
I wanted to SCREAM!

. Every time someone made a comment and no one could hear them most of the congregation would turn around and look in my direction. I assume they were all too stupid to know that there was a switch on the microphone, and that the mic handler was too stupid to turn it on
LOL! So true! Cause you know the mic handler is always some pimple faced 17 year old kid who still needs the WT conductor to point out some of the sisters and brothers to him. "Uhh..that Sis. Miller in the very back corner with the red hair, please. No..that Sister Mizner...I said Miller boy!"
Yeah, I'll admit-I'm one of those that turns around towards the sound booth too.

So many would go out in the field service and attend meetings, but when he left, it all came back to normal....
Ha! Aint that the truth? He even read the count for the evening and then sai : "WoW! That's 50 more than usual! Perhaps now, we can make that a regular routine."
I saw people there last night that I've never even seen before. (But I'm sure many were saying the same thing about me too. )

The S.O said: "and sure enough he fell asleep during my talk." But he said that it was so encouraging because even though he worked the night before he still tried to get what little he could of the talk and the guy related afterwards: "I would not want to be caught falling asleep anywhere else but at the hall."
And so the sercuit overseer concluded with: "Unless you are broken and bleeding then you should be at your meetings."
So was he implying that its ok to fall asleep at the meetings now; just as long as you are there??
I've been following that counsel for years!
Just goes to show the extent they go to, I guess.

Well last night, apparently one of the mics were not woking and so of course you couldn't hear the sister giving her comment. I was seated right across from the sound booth with the S.O and his wife seated in the first row in front of it.
The S.O turns around and says real angry to the sound guy: "Why can't I hear her!"
Sheesh!
And of course here comes one of the elders marching over to the sound booth-red in the face reprimanding the por sound guy for something that probably was not even his fault.
I never realized how antsy the elders get when the S.O is around. No wonder one of them were calling me non-stop all week asking me to turn in previous months of field service time. How the hell do you expect me to remember my time for the month of last June??!!

How does Shunning feel?
by DaveNwisconsin injust curious as i had never really been a true jehovah witness.
i would think that you make friends and suddenly you don't exist.
i would think a board like this is a true godsend.

When I walked into the KH, it was like Moses parting the Red Sea - a path opened and several people literally turned their faces away
haha..(yes i know not funny)...but you should try this at a district convention....never has a throng parted so quickly...it couldnt have been faster if i had been ringing a bell shouting leper
so true so true!
We have this one D'F girl in our hall. She comes to the bkstudy from time to time. Suddenly... folks are scooting down and moving about as if she needs the extra leg room or something.
