Wait a minute !
In that lovely pic Oubliette posted, do I see a pair of feet sticking out of that freshly made steaming pile ?
the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.
"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".
Wait a minute !

i remember years ago when i was a little boy aroung 9 years old, our bookstudy conductor was in the hospital and at the last minute one of the elders asked my aunt to be the book study conductor.
this was the first time i have seen this happen.
my aunt did a very good job and the bookstudy acted as it was not something from outer space.
We used to have a sister conduct the book study, this was back in the early 1960's, since I was just a kid I don't remember how long she held that position. I remember the study was held in her house, or her mother's house I should say where she and her other two sisters still lived with their mom .
what was the experience like?
i lived with my brother and then sister-in-law in an apartment building owned by a brother and his wife.. besides the fact that they would constantly enter the place while we were out, without any kind of advance notification, they would procrastinate whenever there was maintenance work that needed to be done.
sometimes it would take months before they would get to it.
A brothers (now an ex-brother) mother lived in a big home by herself and one of sisters in the Cong convinced her to rent a room to a guy who was studying, "he's so nice and he knows it's the truth" . . . . . Sorry to say this guy killed the brothers mother and he was found guilty and serving time.
the way things are going i believe that wt will start encouraging its members to start setting up web sites.
i can certainly see them loosening their stand on it.
the example i will give is the video showing the dancing in the kh, and jw defender which i believe is wt in hiding.
check it out and download before i am forced to take it down!.

Surprised that was able to take place in the KH
In my moms hall about ten years ago they had a talent show, but they rented a catering place, so I guess Jah was OK with the sisters taking out of their preaching work to practice for the show.
A few of the Congregations including the one I grew up in and the immediate area held a Reunion Dinner about ten or some years ago also, some folks who moved away even came back to attend. It was like the Dubs patting themselves on the back, couples that had been in for 20, 30 plus years were announced, as if you were at a Masons or Elks Dinner announcing the members who had been in the longest.
it seems i am going to have to teach people to use a tablet as part of my job and i don't even have one!
any advice would be most helpful please.. i keep reading blurb on amazon etc and now i'm really confused.
what should i buy?
I want to know how you got your job and you're not qualified for it

Ya' understand what I'm saying' ?????

Good for you Flipper ! I like to bring up the blood fractions too when I feel like having fun with them at their table set-ups in the subway stations.
MY newest questions for them is JW.org, I tell them I remember when you were admonished to stay away from the internet, now look what you call yourselves, then I throw in how my relative in "da troof" always said there was ascripture that says not to be a part of the world or word to that effect. but looks like you guys gave in !

Yeah, she was. I remember reading that Ruth Buzzi and another member from Laugh In attended the services. Her mother was also injured in the fire but can't quite remember for sure, but it's possible that she succumbed to her injuries as well
