I watched the first 3... couldn't stomach more than 10 seconds of that last one. I can't believe I used to feel proud everytime an assembly or convention was mentioned in the news. Brilliant job on reporting for the two news videos.

Why is the US so afraid of Social Health Care?
by eyeslice ini just don't get why the us is so afraid of social health care, and is so opposed to the canadian and british models.
the plain fact is that there are far more americans without access to health care than the combined populations of sweden, norway, denmark and finland.. a measure of the maturity of any society has to be how it sees fit to re-apportion its wealth.. we are quick to criticise african leaders who line their own pockets but leave the masses in poverty but cannot see that blindly following capitalist principles is much the same.
if we live in a wealthy society then part of that wealth has to be put back into society as a whole.. .

You could do a mash up of the script and turn it into a sheparding call / JC scene...
Elder HardArse: Peter, what's been happening? We've noticed you've been missing some meetings.
Peter: Well, I wouldn't say I've been missing them Brother HardArse.
Elder COWannaBe: We need to talk about your field service report... did you get the latest Kingdom Ministry?
Peter: Yes I have a copy of it right here...
Elder HardArse: Yeah, it's just that we're actually encouraging our Brothers to lodge their report at least a week in advance. If you could go ahead and do that from now on, that would be great. I'm gonna go and make sure you get a copy of that Kingdom Ministry.
Peter: I said I have it right here...
Elder CoWannaBe: We also need to talk about your hours...
Peter: What's wrong with my hours? I'm doing ten every month.
Elder HardArse: Yeah, it's just that ten is the minimum. Now, if you feel that the minimum is going to get you spared at armageddon, go right ahead. But we thought you wanted to show how much you love Jehovah, you do wanna show how much you love Jehovah don't you?
Peter: You know what? I don't like the meetings... I don't like field service either. I've just decided, I'm not going to them anymore.
Elder CoWannaBe: Where will you go? What will you do?
Peter: I'm just gonna spend my nights and weekends doing nothing.
Elder HardArse: But what about armageddon? Don't you want to live in the paradise earth?
Peter: You know what? That paradise earth never really appealed to me, so I'm just not going to bother with this anymore. Well, I gotta get going, it's been nice chatting to you both, good luck with the disfellowshipping, I hope the shunning goes really well.
*Peter exits*
Elder CoWannaBe: Well, that's just a straight shooter with 'Watchtower President' written all over him.

My congregation used to have around 100 publishers. Stumbled upon a brother's social networking page from that cong around a year ago who said they had around 40 publishers... and were having to get other congregations to assist them with covering their territory... either I wasn't the only one who left or a lot of families moved.

I love the illustration of Jesus with the Pharisees... he was up front about his refusal to answer the question... that's quite different from outwardly lying or 'not disclosing every detail'.

It's great to be able to put a voice to several of my favourite posters. I was listening on and off... missed Farkel and ATJ though. Oh well... I'll have to wait until the conference goes up on the website. Hope to maybe chat to a few of you next time.
