Who has had their District Convention seats stolen by other Witnesses?

by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

over the years i have had to deal with this problem personally and as a attendant covering my section at various convention centers.

i had people who were suppose to be decent jehovah witnesses pick up all the books, bags and coolers belonging to brothers and sisters who arrived at the appropriate time and picked them up and dumped them all at the end of the seating row.

so here is what goes down, the sister runs up to me panicking and saying "dear brother, i had all those seats reserved for my family and now look!

I got a good seat in an assembly, one that I could easily get up and go out for

a break when it all got too much.

I left my books, a Bible and a songbook + notebook on the seat, as was the custom.

Marking my place.

When I came back just few minutes later I found a sister not only sitting in the seat

but sitting ON the books.

I said to her... this is my seat..... but she didn't budge and I told her ....you are sitting on my books.

She reluctantly fished them out from under her but there was no move to give me back the seat.

So I said ...this is my seat, you know, the one I want to sit in to listen to the talks that's why my books were on it.

No budging.

Gave up... went off saying good grief..and tried to find another seat to my liking.

Couldn't, so I sat somewhere else muttering death threats under my breath.

Shouldn't have worried, I don't even remember what the assembly was about now.

Too sick or injured but still made it to the meeting!

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i once attended a two day special assembly with my gums bleeding after having 4 widom teeth pulled the day before.

i managed the two days by rinsing out my mouth all day long and placing cotton in my mouth.. one brother had back surgery the week before but attended a two day assembly by laying on a matress in the back of the assembly hall.

why he needed to be there i'll never understand!.

I know of a congregation that uses skype to allow those

too sick to attend to get the meeting in real time.

I hope this idea catches on.

But I can still see this conversation between two Elders using skype.........

( cue music...)

Hey, Bro lowtech didn't skype for the meeting last night

Really, I wonder if he is OK?

Hmm, this is the third time that he hasn't skyped this month

and when he does he never skypecomments.

I think we need to have a skypemitte meeting about this.

Me too, we can't have Brothers skyping just willy nilly

Perhaps we should give him a skypeshepherding call first.

Well, I guess you are right,we need to show love to our Brothers

Maybe good for an assembly demo...

Is the Universe Conscious?

by still thinking in

jw
friends

does the universe have a collective consciousness?.

at the sub nuclear level of reality...we are all one.

at the core basis of the universe is a single universal field of intelligence.

molybdenum

I think a good question is to ask

"Is the Brother taking the WT study conscious"

Read para 1/ question/ answer( directly from the paragraph)

Read Para 2/ question/ answer ( directly from the paragraph)

Read para 3& 4 / questions / answer ( directly from the paragraph)

continue to end of study article........

How can someone be conscious and do this?

New Rumor - Watchtower and Awake in one magazine only?

by TJ Curioso in

hi folks!.

someone told me that there is a rumor that soon the watchtower and awake's magazines will be only one (fusion).. anybody knows something concrete about that, or is only rumor instead?.

tj curioso.

In my congrgation the Brother explaining this "nesting" took about 5 mins

putting it in and pulling it out to show us exactly what it means.

I was thinking that the magazines have shrunk in size so when you hold it,

it feels like a pamphlet. So by "nesting" the AW inside the WT it feels thicker

and therefore gives some " weight" to the message.

Maybe they have been eating too many Domino's pizza at Bethel.

"Take one get one free"( But don't forget to ask for a contribution)

Isn't this the same as what John Lennon wrote in 1967

I am the walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me

And we are all together

Gerrit Loesch was at our DC today!

by goatshapeddemon in

so, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!

first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.

he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.

If you say Gerrit Loesch quickly it sound like Get Lost.....

Confused

by molybdenum in

i read the words of robert king.

he really made me think.

his words were like a water spring.

molybdenum

I read the words of Robert King

He really made me think

His words were like a water spring

I took a long long drink

Then I read Perimino

I knew it was the truth

Ah, here's the way I need to go

I felt like dancing on the roof

Then I came to JWD

The thoughts here were so strong

The leavers , faders felt like me

How could the GB be so wrong?

We are the FD Slave

The generation overlaps

new light over which to rave

rabbits out of magic hats?

Which way to go

I have to think and think

I really do not know

It seems I'm always on the brink

I am lost and in fear

It isn't right

The truth should be clear

like a beacon bright

Should I stay or should I go?

what course is best for me?

it really is so hard to know

I pray on bended knee

Murmuring at the District Covention

by breakfast of champions in

saturday was waayyyyy to long.

"...and I heard that the end was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo close you could smell it."

My mother passed seven years ago, but in her last few years (after hearing all my life about being in the last days) she always said 'we're on the fringe" of the end of things, I often wonder what she would say now in 2013, about 7 or 8 years after being on the "fringe".

***************************

Yeah, must have been one of those long fringe skirts.

It's like ....."Armaggedon is round the corner". It's the longest corner I've ever come across.

Actually it drives me round the bend when I hear that.

Just wondering...

by molybdenum in

for those of you who are "out" forcibly ( disfellowshipped) or voluntarily ( dissasociated) is there anything.

that you actually miss about the witnesses or meetings?.
