i havent been to a convention since..................99?
the last few i went to i remember a lot of people commenting on how hard it was to visit with other witnesses.
a lot of people were disgruntled and irritated about it.. the convention doors didnt open till about an hour before the session started... so you had time to find your seat and get your kids settled.. no time to visit others... also our seats were assigned.. we were told to sit with our congregation in a specific section that we were assigned to clean.. so we were just around our regular congregation.
Nice to meet you, Gary Buss. You know I've been in a real BAD mood today, onery, surly, pissed off, and I don't know why, but.....................THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME LAUGH.
What year are those from? If you remember, or even care to remember.

Sinis:
I never thought about doing that. Maybe I should have.
You all know how hard it was to get up at 4 or 5 a.m. to get ready so you could be there when the doors opened. Then, you had no breakfast, unless you brought it or stopped to get it. Leave it in the car while you stand in line to get your seats. Go back to the car and the food is cold. By the time the program starts, you're already sweaty, because it's been a hot morning.
You go thru all this and you are just dreading lunch time.
It was alot easier when they provided the food, and it could actually be fun.
BRING BACK THE SCRIPT, I'LL PAY, I PROMISE! PLEASE STOP THE TORTURE!

I think the WTS could negotiate lower food prices from the vendors, if the WTS promised them that all in attendance would be encouraged to buy food from them. What's so hard about that?
It wouldn't make any difference to me, though, cause I'm not going. The very last time we went, we got up REAL early, so we could get some seats in a certain section, because these seats provide alot of extra leg room, which I need, because I have BAD knees. If I can't stretch out when I'm sitting for a long time, one of them starts to swell up.
Anyway, we got in the line, which was kind of long, but we've been in a longer line and got the seats before. When the convention opens up, we split up (3 of us) and when we get to the section, ALL THE SEATS ARE SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the amount of people being let in, that would have been impossible. So then how are all those seats taken? The attendants saved them before all of us were let in.
I THOUGHT WE WERE NOT TO SAVE SEATS!!!!!!!!!
my roommate(baptized) met with 2 elders last night and gave them "the discoveries of barbara anderson".
she told them that she believed mrs. anderson was telling the truth.
she didn't think that mrs. anderson would have given so many years of service to jehovah and then just walk away.

funny how simple it is for people to trash god .
and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
how can we expect god to give us his blessing and his protection if we demand he leave us alone?
Blessed:
Without naming specific names, I will say this: Some actions of those claiming to be "religious" can be attributed to simple human imperfection. Other actions are a blatant disregarding of what the scriptures teach, to fit their own dogma, or to excuse their personal behavior.

I don't have a problem with God. I do wish he would interfere a little more in my life.
I DO have a problem with those who say they represent him. It's not only the J.W.'s either.

the planetary emergency of global warming and what we can do about it.
al gore.
has any read this book or seen the movie?
An inconvenient observation: If global warming happend in the past, before autos and factories, what caused it? It is a natural cycle of the earth.

here's some quotes for you:
"dangerous form of murmuring - that is, murmuring against the earthly part of jehovah's organization "
"this is really jehovah's organization, the best organization in the world"
Here is a quote from someone else, who is much higher than me:
"Do not go beyond the things written".
