  Not that many years back, it used to be hyped beforehand with favored ones getting special invites. Since some PIMOs attending began giving nearly live reports which then appeared almost in real time in forums like this one, the GB did a 180 and now gives virtually no advanced announcements about it. Like so many other thing they do, it's now kept hush-hush.

  Has anyone heard anything, perhaps from relatives still in? It's still an important in-house event where "new light" is revealed, etc. Perhaps we'll just have to wait till the edited portions of it trickle out piecemeal in a few months on the org website.

  So, 60 Years Ago

  so, folks, 60 years ago, starting on september 1st, i believe, we, local witnesses in southern california, had the "privilege" of attending the "around the world assembly", at, of all places, the rose bowl, in pasadena.

  (i think that it was an 8-day assembly) i was 9 years old then, almost ready to start 4th grade.

  so, was anyone else, on this site, at that assembly?

  This was a very enjoyable and educational thread to read through. Many thanks to the "old timers" here who participated in sharing their experiences and impressions, now 60 yeas later. I see some you sort of came out of the woodwork for this—much appreciated!

  The memoirs made me laugh again and again. Cheers to all who contributed.

  Turns out he may not have been an elder, but a MS:

  So will they now start doing background checks on newly appointed men?

  So many bros out-of-uniform. Casual dress; the bro just right of center even has a goatee. One is a cop or security guard? One sister, upper left, with a pretty low neckline. Are they lightening up?

  Mandated Shunning is a Crime

  by Lee Marsh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mandated shunning is on the rise around the world with devastating effects on millions of people.

  shunning that is mandated by organized groups to its members is a form of both physical and psychological violence against those people being shunned and cut off from their family and life-long relationships.

  mandated shunning means that the shunning is ordered from the top down.

  I don't mean to be fussy or petulant, but what practices or beliefs in the Witness world are not mandated?

  SBF:

  When the woman says Morris is “directly responsible” she appears to be referring to his part in a cover up. It doesn’t sound like she is accusing him of committing the abuse himself. I could be wrong but that’s what it sounds like to me. Hopefully this will be clarified. If he is directly involved in a cover up that’s bad enough but obviously not the same thing and it would be good to be clear exactly what he’s being accused of.
  

  Why would she express concern about AM III being around children unless he was involved in more than just a cover up of wrongdoing done by others?
