hi folks.
i have notice that many here are always complaining about those wonderful assemblies that we used to attend?
why is everyone so ungrateful?.
Yardif,
You are free to think that i've exaggerated. That particilar DO's prayers (strangely only if it was the convention's concluding prayer, otherwise it was always a quickie..) usually lasts on average around 10 min! He must have been over zealous that day......
To be precise the stopwatch stopped at exactly 15min 32sec....

this news is a couple of weeks old but well worth digesting.. isn't it interesting that russia has a 'law on freedom of conscience' -- which the united states and the vatican have vehemently criticized?
nic'.
"moscow court cancels jehovah's witnesses' legal win".
Now the WTS can recycle their old light and say that the nasty evil Russians are again the Wicked King of the North!!
Dasvidania!

i am a policitcal conservative, at least a fiscal conservative and sociel moderate.
i support the death penalty, but i agree that our judicial system needs to overhaul how wwe treat criminals to achieve better rehabilitation results.
and of course, withhold the death penalty in cases where there could be doubt.. in mcveigh's case, i believe that he deserves the death penalty.
Hello all,
The best way is the Chinese way: A bullet in the backof the neck and send the bill to the parents or the surviving relatives.

Hi Prisca,
You're correct we always had indoor conventions. It was always end July during the heatwaves and everyone used to sweat like marathon runners...so you can imagine sitting next to someone who emanated more than average body odors.....after the morning session you were
Of course the WTS could not afford to rent an airconditioned hall......

Don't you miss those thrilling talks? Were you not encouraged to start the best career there is : Full time service in God's Holy Motherlike, caring and loving organisation!!
Think about it. Don't you miss the " taste of what it will be like in paradise earth" under the loving guidance of those future Princes our friend Amazing talks about in his "Justice" series?
And what about those memorable talks we had the grand privilege of listening to given by the (roll the drums please...) yes you guessed, a member of the GB. Don't you remember giving such a long applause that you had third degree burns all over your hand afterwards??
And the food yummy yummy....It's the spiritual food i'm talking about, all those wonderful different coloured new books and booklets. Remember rushing to get them at the end of the days session and start browsing through them to find if they contained "new light"???
And the toilets ahhhh... those were something!! I'm sure you remember having the privilege to stand for ages in line, especially if you had a persistent looseness of the bowels (it gave you the possibility to "widen out" and make new friends!!!) and when it was your turn to enter the cubicles you could breath the perfumed air of the 5 previous users ........What smashing moments of pure spiritual paradise...... unforgettable moments, it made my eyes swell with tears.....because often the air was so concentrated with that lovely "perfume" that the effect was worst than tear gas.........
I'm sure we were also all jealous of the sisters who had the privilege to stand in even loooooooooonnnnnnggggggerrr lines than us brothers!! At least they had an excuse for not being at their seats!
Last but not least i'm sure you will never forget the concluding prayer....i remember that we used to bet on how long they would last. The longest one i had to survive lasted 16 minutes.....what a pain in the neck that was....literally speaking!!!
I'm sure that you are all pleased with me now that i've brought back nice memories to all of you.....

The three essential human freedoms:
The first is freedom of speech and expression.
The second is freedom of conscience.
The third is freedom from fear.
