in recent years the assemblies started to feature a new kind of demonstration on stage: the soliloquy, where inner thoughts and reasonings of the character are uttered aloud for the benefit of the audience.

usually the plot is something like this:.

1. the character (a brother, a sister, a youngster) starts with indulging in a selfish/materialistic/unspiritual thought/plan.

How do you feel about soliloquies at the assemblies?

Yuk!!!

They never ring true, all made up material, in other words, another load of lies!

How do JW's justify lying to people they call on?

by highdose in

you may remember my recent experiance with two jw's at my door.

they lied non stop to me and even when i pointed out their lies they still did not tell the truth.. do they really think that they will win people into their cult by lying to them?

don't they think about what will happen when the person finds out they have been lying to them?.

I have asked this question myself, SO, SO many times;

Why do they keep lying to ME?

Why do they lie, when they say they have the truth?

What do they achieve by doing this?

Do they teach elders to lie at these special schools?

So much for Watchtower, er, Bible studies

on another thread, i wondered whether there was an objective way to determine the effect that the internet is having on new people being attracted into the watchtower.

i get the general impression that, while we can certainly know that the internet has been crucial in quite a few people leaving, or never joining, there is no statistics that would tell us something like "millions now living didn't join because of what they read on a website".. that's for background.

now i would like to see the question the other way around.

Kingdom Halls may well have many books, which include the bound volumes; BUT

when could anyone read these? My wife's KH opens just 10 - 15 minutes before the meeting starts and they are so keen to close it after the meetings that going to the bathroom is problematic as you could get locked in!

They do not encourage reading books from the KH library.

Page Number Questions

is anyone or everyone else missing page numbers under friends, personal experiences, etc.

is there anyway to go back and read previous pages?

i have to wait two to four hours at a time to go back into the ccu to see my husband, so i have plenty of time to catch up on my jwn reading.

Is anyone or everyone else missing page numbers under Friends, Personal Experiences, etc. or is it just me?

I have page numbers top and bottom, perhaps it is the ads Google insert in your area, they sometimes obscure some of the page.

Hope your husband is continuing to improve, enjoy your plate tomorrow.
