Here in the UK - a £3 fee charged for going to JW assembly hall
by James_Slash ini cannot speak for other countries, but it has become evident of late that more and more talks are being done by presiding overseers at kh's (especially in the west midlands) and they are making it quite clear that they are expecting 3 from every publisher (per day) who visit the dudley assembly hall, west midlands to contribute towards the upkeep of it.. the quote from the po's who have done this talk have said that "it is expected that each publisher will put 3 into the box on each day".. what do you think of that then?
as the world hits an economic breakdown the jw's seem to maximising their income from struggling families.. dudley assembly hall holds about 600-700 people.
i'm sure people are capable of doing the maths.. so much for voluntary contributions !!

3 pounds sterling would be almost $5.00 US. ($4.83 today) A family of four would be near $20.00 a day. + meals, transport. I assume most attendees live near home, otherwise, add rooming.
Small price to pay for everlasting life in God's New Order.

Just a guess, but it may be that they are being overwhelmed by "I Quit!" letters and are trying to salvage what they can. Having one of these announced every Thursday night is not good for morale.
PS. I assume you took care to write the letter with proper spelling and grammer. Your above 'stream of consciousness' style might make them wonder if you were sober when writing it. ??

Republican Vs Democrat
by Bangalore ina republican and a democrat were walking down the street when they came across a homeless person.. the republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him come to his business for a job.
he then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.. the democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help.
he walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office.

Another razor sharp comeback by Blue. I give up. No use fighting against a well-oiled intellectual machine like that. Mercy please?

Studies have shown that people who ate lead paint chips as children become easily confused.

Are you suspicious of LURKERS?
by VampireDCLXV inwe all know they're here but we don't really know who they are.. they are people who sign up here and then never comment (or rarely ever do).. doesn't that make any of you regulars here at the very least a tiny bit suspicious?.
why would a person sign up to a forum like this and then never say a damn thing?
it seems to me that there is a primary reason why some folks sign up and then never comment on anything: to spy.
