Public Talks- What do you think about the changes?
by Connaughty inwhat do you think about the reduced time of the public talks?.
i actually find it pleasant, it makes it a lot easier to tolerate some of the boring speakers.
but what about the service.

In my mind, I'm wondering why you or anyone even goes to the meetings any more?
My last meeting was the last half of the memorial, 2002 and I have never gone back and no regrets.
It seems the longer you stay with thier system the harder it is to leave. Like folks that want to quit smoking, you need to go cold turkey. Just get out and never look back.

I worked in the 124 kitchen for 4 years (80-83). Except for the steamy 'Pot Room', I actually had a great time with a good group of guys with some good benifits. If Splane is going to 'slight' a department, pick the Laundry. My first roomate was assigned there and hated it.

My 'fond memories' of Barber at the breakfast table (80-83) were getting an extra 15 minutes of sleep before chow time.

Why does the great crowd go to memorial?
by *jeremiah* in"do this in remembrance of me"...... ...those words jesus utters,..according to the wt,...is specifically for "the annointed",...right?.
if jesus at the last supper is speaking directly to "the annointed class",...that they should parttake and "do this in remembrance",...then why do the r & f even go to the memorial?.
looking at it through jw eyes,...jesus didn't invite members of "great crowd" to the last supper,...right?

I have read somewhere that the refusal of the emblems is from the Satanists. More or less a 'rejection' of Christ.

When I first saw this scan, I got that 'dreaded' feeling again of going door to door with this stale, negative message.
I'm relieved that I don't have to work up a demonstration on the tract offer for the next Service Meeting and then lead the group out Saturday morning!

My 'day job' moved me from the USA to Kiev, Ukraine, an area of the so-called 'big increase' for the Watchtower. I've lived here 4+ years now.
What's really odd, is that in the time that I've been here, I've only seen 2 JW's out in street witnessing. Today, was the second time I've seen any preaching here, this time, it was in the Metro (subway system) . An older 'brother' with the magazines in Russian. There is no ban on witnessing here, so.... where are they? My business partner, a native here that lives outside of Kiev in a small village of 'Hneden' (Russian for 'Eden', like the garden) said they come by all the time. I find that amazing. His family even studied with them for a few weeks but quickly could see through it, so, NOT ALL in Ukraine are taking the bait. The Russian Orthodox Church has the monopoly on religion here. There are a LOT of the Mormon boys walking around but that's about it.
The other time I sensed the Watchtowers 'presences' was when I went to my girlfriends home for borsch (beet root soup) and as she's heating it up in the kitchen, I see two tracts on the table. Both printed in Italy. I asked her where they came from and she said someone on the street 'gave them to her Granny but they don't read that stuff'. Smart girl!!!! It was still a bit uncanny seeing them there in her house. I balled them up and threw them in the trash.
The REAL religion here is astrology due to the fact of former Communist suppresion. After you meet someone, the second quesiton is, 'What's your sign?' Like I really care but it's just a conversation point with these folks.
As for increase, I don't see it here. Just one old timer that I've seen hanging on since they have no idea where to go or what to do. The Watchtower has left these poor folks an empty shell of human beings.
