What was the Average Attendence at your Kingdom Hall?
by jayhawk1 ini don't think we ever had more than 75 for an average attendence at the local kingdom hall.
i was driving by there the other day when the thursday meeting was going on and it appears based on the cars that there is still about 75 people attending.
when i drive by churches of similar size [meaning the church building is about the same size (square footage) as a normal kingdom hall] there seems to me many more people, perhaps 110 or more attending.. i'm just curious if it seems to be a practice to keep jw congregations to around 75 to 100 people or not.

WTS "proofs" of Holy Spirit/God's blessing
by Lady Lee inunder_believer just started a thread on the quick builds as proof of god's blessing.
"kingdom hall quickbuilds are only possible with god's holy spirit" .
but it got me to thinking.

- I'm sure most people here have heard of women being attacked by potential rapists and then praying or invoking God's name or even preaching to the attacker was proof of God's protection.
- But I have also heard a story of JW missionaries being killed in the field by thieves. Why didnt God protect them.

How up are you on the music and musical artist, hot today?
by free2beme inas i get older, i understand more the generation gap we always remembered being mentioned with our parents.
i always thought i was on top of the music scene, as i used to run a music and video store in the late 80's.
i thought it kept me on a path, that would keep me in the know of what was hot and what was not.

Don't ever judge hip-hop by what you see on MTV, or hear on the radio (booty rap)... remember, Sex sells... so that's what get's air play.... There is so much conciense hip-hop out there, that it's imposible to hear it all... but I tell ya, you'll never hear it on the radio, cause it doesn't make money... ya gotta search it out...
Ok Openfireglass. Enlighten me. If you have the time and inclanation. E mail me a list of songs and artist I would like to check them out and share your experience. Because my experience is limited to mtv and radio. Thanks

Jezebel Idea in Motion (photos)
by Sparkplug inok, it started as an idea to make a jezebel such as was in the book of bible stories.
but then i did not have all the parts and my hair was tied down.
i threw in jack the ripper shoes and stockings, and a gypsy skirt.

My sisters
by iamfreenow ini have two sisters, angela, who is 17 months younger than me, and who has been baptised since she was 16, and jean, who is 55, and has never been a jehovahs witness.
i have always got on very well with both of them, but now i am no longer a jw, i really wondered how angela would react.
it's not that she has ever been an over - zealous jw.

Good for you enjoy your life. It might be the only one.

I dont think it will hurt it. I would put my camera in my suitcase. You could take the memory out. I guess it would still get exrayed. People must travel with their cameras and their cell phones which have cameras in them. Why not call the airlines. Thats it. Call the airline and ask them.

I think many of those that belong to the water tower society today view it as a social club. You go and get bored out of your mind and listen to some bad music for a couple of hours then you go out and have cake and coffee. Some people find that very entertaining.
