quick question because of a current writing project i have in hands .... if you live on staten island, what would be the assembly hall you would attend for a circuit assembly ?.
another question: in 2014 were there still circuit assemblies?
or had it been already narrowed down to special assembly days?.
I don't recall seeing any Staten Island folks at the Assembly hall in Brooklyn on Flatbush, I imagine it would be easier and cheaper for them to go to the Stanley Theatre in Jersey honestly. Staten "Italy" is more like Jersey than NYC anyway lol.
I want to say there were still CA in 2014. That was around the time of Tight Pantsgate. I think things really started changing faster mid to post 2014.
has anyone else received this email?
"items priced to move, up to 80% off cost".
i'd post the email but i worry they put secret identifying marks on it somehow.
Yes
I thought this part was a real farce:
All proceeds go to international non-profit programs, disaster relief, literacy programs and education in 800 languages
literacy???? education????
wow...
how has offending become the worst crime of the 21st century?
actually, forget being offensive, just telling the truth that may be uncomfortable or offensive.

You are offensive: You are the worst
You are a terrorist: Lets not hurt your feelings or anyone who shares your values
Regressive indeed.

my story: i am a 27 year old ex jw.
former ms and regular pioneer at age 19. i was very active and had many "privileges" including district assembly and circuit assembly parts etc.
as an example for young people.
Welcome my man. Hit me up anytime you are feeling discouraged and need someone to listen.

abuse is such a serious word and i'd hate to use it lightly so if anyone reading this has suffered physical or sexual abuse please know that i absolutely do not equate religious abuse with your suffering.
that being said, many of us were lied to and manipulated for decades.
this cultic 'abuse' has borne fruit in shattered relationships, broken families and estranged children.
It is an abusive organization, once we wake up though, I prefer to see myself as survivor instead of victim.
The universe is indifferent. There is no good and evil forces, just people making choices. Most violence in this world stems from fear and hate which these days is often fueled by religion.
we all gossip.
it is only human.
watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.

it also shortly mentions the child abuse cover up scandal by jehovahs witnesses and compares that to catholic church (around 16:30 mark).
Love their vids
