  So Spill the Beans, Brothers: Were There More or Fewer At this Year's Bore-Fest

  by steve2 in

  the jw date-worshipped memorial has just completed its bleak worldwide commemoration.

  that wasn't a dust cloud you saw; it was a millionfold hearts limply beating themselves into another round of great tribulation expectations.

  i was knocked into a deep, deep sleep by the imagined experience of being at several thousand consecutive kingdom halls as the platformed drones spat forth the predictable sludge that, once released, hits and stains white clothing and bleach is useless.. we know that memorial attendance worldwide has dipped for two consecutive years since 2011 when it reached a high of 19,374,737 and for the promised land, obama's usa, the all time memorial attendance high was also 2011 when it hit over 2.5million (2,563,518) but shrunk in shame back to 2,502,055 in 2012 and spluttered upwards a handful or two to 2,504,114 last year.. so, what was attendance at the date-obsessed bore-fest this year in your neck of the woods?

  Hi Steve: !

  There are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are differences in punctuation:

  Um, ask not that question of me; ask it of the organization that has long trumpeted its statistics - a deafening trumpeting that has shaped my preoccupation in sundry "increases" and "decreases".

  American writers don't do what is necessarily logical, i.e., their placing the period BEFORE the close of the quotation mark (do you call quotation marks inverted commas?!?!?):

  "decreases."

  Does this astute observation bear on your question . . . what was your question?

  CoCo Smart Ass

  If it's of any dubious comfort, our speaker made a number of errors in punctuation, but everyone had a good time regardless. I, on the other hand, was seen squirming uncomfortably in my newly upholstered chair whilst my ears bled.

  Good morning, Friends!

  Upon rising of a new morn, I am not the least perky while I head through a curvy path of books and art and stuff to that silvery tap whose sweet offering of drink will render me no longer thirsty.

  rough, slough, tough

  BTW: radio announcer just now stated that today is National Bookmobile Day (USA).

  i feel like i wasn't allowed to read a lot of books when i was younger, a lot of which i'm discovering are positivly phenomenal.. i was allowed to read edgar allan poe, who remains my all time favorite writer.

  but, i've discovered the joys of stephen king, anne rice, joyce carrol oats, neil gaiman, george r. martin, david sedaris... and so so so many more.. i'm currently getting through "the shining" so i can move on to "doctor sleep".

  i'm interested to see if anyone else that discovered the many joys of "worldly" literature, jumped immediately into what they weren't allowed to read... and what was your favorite?.

  Ermegarde fain should have me wait on her hand and foot,
  But so oft had she put on airs that she sniffed and would deign
  To allow me audience yet, in turn, I coughed loudly and thought
  To feign a consumption I had not but to escape an awful presence.

  on the back of the memorial invitation is a box containing a strange pattern that is edged by three small boxes that each hold three small black squares within.

  beneath the pattern is a series of numbers and letters.. how is this code scanned?.

  Many thanks, WF, Incog, and RVW!

  WOW! The Society is keeping up with the celestial chariot of technology. My very old-fashioned telephone with 25-foot cord and large push buttons is definitely not smart, but I like unintelligent oldfangled.

  Best.
