well, hell!.
i had dizzy spells and near-fainting and nausea for a few days, so why wouldn't i start thinking about death, ya know?.
am i just very lax in my responsibilities in having no plans at all?isn't that irresponsible?
NN, there is a specific organization that my cousin was affiliated with. He was an oncologist and sadly passed from cancer. I just don't remember the name at the moment.
If that doesn't work out I will glad give my body to a giant squid. I love those things!
Actually, I have thought if at some point I was facing a sure death for some reason, I would consider a "one last cruise" (wink wink wink) if you know what I mean.
for those interested, this is the video of mouthy's (grace) funeral from september 8, 2016. https://youtu.be/yvmiwo0ycds.
thanks again everybody for the kind words about her - she will be sorely missed by our family as i know she will be by many of you too!
.
What a beautiful tribute to an amazing lady. We loved Grace. Thank you so much for sharing. What a blessing to have had her as your family. xx
just a remembrance of the woodland hills, ca assembly hall.
i am enclosing a partial copy of a wikipedia article covering the purchase and subsequent sale of the facility by the jw.
i am enclosing the link and please pay attention to the bold portion of the document.. the theater project was backed by entertainers bob hope and art linkletter, along with cy warner.. the 2865-seat facility opened july 6, 1964 with the sound of music.
If you search for Woodland Hills on this site you will find several threads on the hall.
I have great memories of assemblies there even though I was assigned to the hood, LaMert Theater. I had friends in the valley and we went to visit from time to time.
due to unforeseen circumstances, i need to say goodbye.

i have every faith that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will bring about needed change very soon given the continuous pressure they face.
WFWR, the letter you produced is well thought out and quite logical. Remember, faith does not produce results. It only "hopes" something happens or someone takes action.
Strength for your journey.

Prob donate to science. I had a cousin who was a doctor who died from cancer and that was his wishes. So for research I go.
PS. Thinking maybe a destination "celebration of life" with something symbolic (and eco friendly) floated out to sea. Probably Mexico.
Haha! Good one.
Mad Andre on here had one with a drawing of a tower with a circle with a line through it that said "Apostate Headquarters." Loved that one too.

Didn't the basement at Bethel have a full makeshift disco that was discovered?
We had a gathering in the congregation once, whole families dancing, and some brothers tried to use the African fertility/twist article in the Awake! to get people in trouble. The other half of the BOE did not support them. My mother told the witch hunters that "no" they would not be meeting with me.
this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.
a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.
the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.
I think they will proceed with caution regarding small groups. It's much safer for them from a corporation standpoint to be more removed when their predictions don't come true. Their track record is terrible.

Good times.
Boy do I remember those articles. And the picture with the disco ball.
Thankfully in our area some of us just went dancing anyway and knew the WT was full of s$$t.

The society is a corporation and all decisions, and I mean ALL decisions are made for the continuing existence of the corporation.
It only makes sense for them to do this. Migrating to a less personal and easily accessible format via the internet broadcast, they can consolidate the multitude of locations into a "mega-church" type meeting place. No boxes of literature to handle, fewer qualified men needed to oversee. The individual has never been important to the WT corporation. They will come up with more inventive and easier ways to "count time" to keep their reported numbers up. All they care about is how they look on paper to the clueless faithful. If the ministry numbers remain strong and increasing (through creative accounting), then the changes have jah's blessing.
I live in so cal, Long Beach area. All the congregations, and there are a lot of them, are still functioning. My old hall is in a old former church built in the 1920's. It is smack dab in a neighborhood with stacked parking and limited street parking. It houses English, Spanish and Cambodian congregations. It is a terrible location and the neighbors hate us for taking up the street parking in front of their homes. I think the elders there would welcome an amalgamation of the congregations.
