WOW !! So no more DO's! Just wish my mother was alive to see all the changes in the Borg, just wonder how she would defend them, like she always tried to do when I pointed out to her the Borg is nothing but a cult.

Hey Sylvia, if you wanna talk athletes having babies to a female they're not married to, that will be the longest post ever on this site and any other site for that matter, the list endless.
However, I myself know that's what going on and really doesn't bother me. but waiting for the days after she has the baby and is back in competition and still thanks Almighty Jah for her win. Can hardly wait to pester the folks with their carts in the subway stations about that issue.

UC Berkeley Reverses order cancellation of Ann Coulter speech
by blondie inuc berkeley orders cancellation of ann coulter speech.
officials at the university of california at berkeley on thursday reversed their decision to cancel a speech by conservative firebrand ann coulter.. the university had announced wednesday that it was canceling coulter’s appearance following several political protests in berkeley that turned violent.. but on thursday, the university said it had found a venue where it could hold the speech on may 2, instead of the original april 27 date.
however, a leader of the college republican group that originally invited coulter said the university was placing strict conditions on the event, and he said his group intended to reject the new terms.. before the reversal was announced, coulter had vowed to go ahead with an appearance anyway.. that probably would have put security officials on high alert and might have sparked another showdown in struggles over campus safety, student views and ideological openness.. “what are they going to do?

Well, being that she's over thirty and probably hasn't been to a meeting in years, I guess no one really cares. Although you can't play competitive sports with a big baby belly, I would just love to see her after one of her matches with the big baby after the win and hear her thank Jehovah like she always does.

JW Double Standards and Hypocrisy in the Congregation!!!
by Christian Gutierrez ini am sure you have stories as well of elders being a hard ass on many, yet turning a blind eye to the 'sins' of their own family or close connections.
cheers everyone!

I just posted the paragraph below about two weeks ago, but it fits under your topic quite well:
A brother who was a close friend of my family lost his elder position because his youngest teenage son was making babies along the entire eastern seaboard (just about). So instead of Brother Elder being "humble", what does a member of good standing in the Boys Club do, just get transferred to another congregation to retain his eldership !! How easy was that, I wonder if he and the other elders that went along with this little scheme ever thought about what Jehoober might be thinking about their crazy scheme?

Anyone know what the special talk is this weekend?
by charity7 innon jw so thank you for bearing with me.
do special talks happen with individual congregations or is it throughout?
i was told by my husband that i had to go with him and the rest of his family to the special talk that was happening this weekend.

Now just which "special talk" is this?
There's the special talk for all congs on a certain date across the U.S., supposedly, that's why I didn't even say worldwide, then there's the special talk that's only given in certain locations. I remember more than ten years ago some friends came from Philly and stayed with my mom in NYC because of a special talk. It was covered here on the board as well, always turns out to be a big nothing, same BS they've been blabbering about for decades.

I'll definitely be lifting a glass or two of the grape, but not with the same intention as those delusional ones who think they're the only ones among Jehovahs' happy people that will have a heavenly afterlife.
I'm just waiting to hear what the attendance was like from those who attend, those days when folks used to wrapped all around hall and standing in the lobby and even renting another venue for all the attendees are over, at least from what I've heard.

As an ex jw I can peg them by their dress but the general public would have trouble playing spot the witness or "where's wally witness" in a crowd of shoppers.
Exactly sparrowdown, we know we can spot them in the crowd,but others, God forbid someone is actually interested, cannot -

It appears that way at some of the carts I see in the subway stations here in NYC, they set them up, then go find a bench to sit down and gossip away the rest of the afternoon, so easy to count time now, they should bring the 100 hours a month, just set up the cart, sit down and verbally tear apart the others in the Congregation and get your time in at the same time!
