How about Over Dosing on a lot of gaseous foods a few hours before the meetang and then let the gas go while there sit about in the middle of the hall so the sweet oder permeates the area.

They won't invite you back

Suggestions:

Hard boiled eggs

refried beans

cabbage

Welcome to the forum. These are good points that you bring out maybe we are in the crapper maybe the system as we know it is changing (peek oil and all). But being a Jehovah's Witness is not some magic shield that's going to keep you safe from these things. Jesus Christ is the only one that can keep you safe no matter what religion you attest to be he (Jesus) is going to be looking at your heart and not your affiliation. Remember, many will call on him saying LORD LORD and he will not know them.

If and when the end of this system as we know it comes, will we be there, who knows but Jesus so why worry, be happy live in the moment enjoy the things we were given and live. Love people and show it and maybe we will be spared.

Why meetings in the KH are so boring.

by THE_CHOSEN_ONE in

One theory is that these meetings are a kind of group hypnosis. The same things are said over and over, and it induces mental drowsiness. Then they can drop in suggestions and ideas about what they want you to do for them (more, more, more) or how you should view something.

This is true. As a former elder, I could see that all the 30 somthing and younger have no clue what is going on, they just go through the motions. their friends are there and that's all they care about they sit like they did when they were little and when the meetings over they can visit with their friends. Often when we (a JC) talked to some of the younger ones, they had no Idea what the GB said about different things like what pornea was etc. etc. They have been sucessfully dumbed down so they can be controlled.

Sarsparilla (smilax regelii)

by Taveras25 in

sarsaparilla is native to the tropical americas.

the roots contain the active ingredients used for ayurvedic treatments, and are long and tuber-like.

the plant itself is a ground-trailing vine, which grows as a perennial.

Hope the watchtower writers are reading this forum. this could end up as a story in the awake.

Public Talk & Bookstudy Changes - the real reason

by bud2114 in

i havn't been able to keep up with all the discussion in this forum as to why the gb has suddenly decided to implement these changes and perhaps someone has mentioned this already, but to me the most obvious reason has nothing to do with control, or money.

it has everything to do with the serious shortage of qualified brothers who can (or who are willing to) be used.

i have been involved in the organzation for 40 yrs and i have never seen the level of apathy and disillusionment among those serving in some capacity in this organization.

ldrnomo

The powers-that-be know that without willing elders & servants this organization is truly doomed.

As a former elder I believe this. Many of those I know are just going through the motions they put in their time and give their talks and most of it is HALF ASSED. The R&F aren't afraid of them anymore so they don't listen to them like they were sheapherds they just go there own way.
