I told my brother about this and he seemed really pissed. He is planning on going to community college even though he has a descent job. He was like, "so because I want to get a little more education I might loose the chance at any privileges?". I agree that this is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way.

Big News or rumor!
by Burger Time ina friend just informed me that the c/o in his hall will be instructing the elders that anyone with a child in college will be stripped of privileges in the hall.
i am not sure if this is true this is just what i was told.
it could be that it is only a campaign directed at him as he has some ties to ex-jw's and some how got found out.

Must FORCE your loved ones to take blood = like Heavens Gate cult suicide!
by Witness 007 ini ve been disturbed by some people making comments like..."well i would respect my witness partners choice not to take blood.".
consider 1997 marshall applewhite is leader of the heavens gate cult, he convinces 38 members that armagedon is coming and to escape being "recycled" they need to escape in a spaceship hidden in the tail of the hale-bopp comet.
to get on board they need to commit suicide...which they did.

Uh...except choosing not to take blood and actively trying to kill yourselves are two different things.
There is at least a proven chance that you will survive in the body your in even if it is a slight one.
Also I think these suicide cults are a good way of population control. I say if your not hurting anyone
but yourself and your stupid enough to believe it, have at it.Hell I believe in ghosts, is that any stupidier then believing in an alien life form that might come and
sweep my soul away? -

The fact is none of us know what intentions they had. Unless you were in the meeting where it was decided you just don't know. I personally think there is just as much a chance it was about doing something nice for the flock. I also think there is just as much chance it was just a strategic tactic to keep more in because of the masses leaving. Either way don't look to us to tell you if they are changing for the better. Some that are still in see this as a change for the worse. The question is, do you see it as a change for the better?
For most of us on here there is probably no amount of change that would bring us back, so again the answer is left up to you.

DC Seating
by RR inokay, how many of you got to the convention site nice and early so that you could get the best seats on the house?.
having met in yankees stadium (difficult for me as i'm a mets fan) i always made sure i was in the shade.
hey someone had to come in early and make those watchtower hoagies (by the way, i never washed my hands).

Nothing was worse then finding premo seats only to see the dreaded Watchtowers, Awakes and coats draping over the seat or the back side of the seat and of course the teenager who has to sit and watch out to make sure no one just moves them up one row or something. LULZ.

Nice little surprise for the sister who invited him. :)
The President from Trinidad & Tobago attends the Memorial...
The President of the nation (George Maxwell Richards) attends the Memorial at a local Kingdom Hall in Trinidad & Tobago . Everyone is wondering well, who invited him & how?
The invitation was made by a sister who works for the newspaper part-time, and for her surprise not only did the president attend but also 15 others who accompanied the president, among them were his wife, security guards & two representatives from television stations from the state. It was the first time in Trinidad & Tobagen history that a president of the nation attended a meeting of Jehovah's Witnesses.
As stated in the law, the brothers followed the protocol, as observed the president, his wife, body guard & three others were attentive throughout the program, while the rest of the crew remained in the automobiles. It happened to be that the brother who gave the discourse for the memorial was one of the MS Training School Instructors from the US.
In a congregation where there are 85 publishers , the attendance for the memorial was around 300 persons. Since we give all are invitees a songbook & a Bible in order to follow the program of the memorial , the president and his party were not the exception. They followed the entire discourse using their Bibles and singing the Kingdom Melodies.
Once the memorial was over, and as followed by protocol, all the attendees remained seated until the president and his party left the Kingdom Hall. After wards, they were taken to a room where they were given Bibles & literature, that they accepted kindly .. They also expressed their gratitude for being present & for the simplicity and sincereity of the service & the generous use of the Bible throughout the conference. Literature was also given to the rest of the president's party who were in the parking lot, besides the arrangements that were made in order for them to listen to the entire program while they were parked.
In the newspaper, The Guardian, an article was posted with pictures following the day of the memorial.
The experience of this sister who invited the president of the republic after being interviewed teaches us how we should never overlook anyone when doing our preaching work, or offer bible studies or invite them to the memorial.... n o t even the president himself.
(I have attached pictures )
