I always remember this silly old senile hag at a CA sometime in the 1970's who clearly had been called on very late in her life and converted, she must have been about 90 at the time of her baptism, a big deal was being made of it because not only was she wheelchair bound she had some sort of allergy to water, so she had to be wheeled down into the pool in her wheelchair and was bound from head to toe in some sort of waterproof polyurethane plastic suit, I was eight at the time and I had never seen anything so ridiculous in all my short life nor have I seen anything since as stupid, my physically abusive bipolar lunatic elder of a father was crying like a baby as he sat next to me while I was trying as hard as possible not to break out into hysterical laughter, the dirty deed was done and the auditorium erupted, I wonder whatever happened to the smelly old bag? what a waste of everyone's times and energy, its an experience I'll take to my grave.

Circuit Assembly Experiences
by Tallon inmany years ago, in the congregation i attended at the time, there was a brother who had endured bad health over many years.
as result he underwent a number of operations - a couple being life saving operations.
at one or two circuit assemblies he was interviewed on the platform where he related how he endured ill health.. for me, i felt very uncomfortable listening to his experience and, i actually felt embarrassed for him because i have never been one to speak of any health issues i had, let alone publicise it from the platform.

Welcoming Our Latest JW Apologist JTrottigy
by pale.emperor ini'd like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our newest jw apologist jtrottigy.
.
he'll likely only be here for a few days like most jw defenders before he runs away when presented with his own doctrine.. so far he's already said some hilarious stuff, like "there's no such thing as nepotism in jehovah's organisation", "confidentiality is paramount to elders" and, my personal favourite "the overlapping generation is so simple to understand".. yh don't think i don't remember you from jwtalk..

Yearly Donations down? 2.4 billion for the 2015/16 financial year
by Diogenesister inso people keep saying watchtowsr is in a financial mess.
i think we can all accept that numbers are stagnating at best and going down year on year in the north / western countries and japan.. however the recent finance dept leeks confirmed that following the may 2015 broadcast requesting more donations, an extra 30 million was sent in for the months of july/august.
stephen lett stated that this figure equated to a 30% increase.. lloyd evans has used this figure to work out how much is donated on a yearly basis worldwide.

what about the "brother " that went on a business trip to China and walked around with a WTS leaflet hanging out of his back pocket, an uneventful trip only to be greeted at the airport departure gate by 2 Chinese JW's who told him he was in grave danger throughout the entire trip but they watched him and made sure the authorities could not arrest him! LMAO!.

the most ridiculous was the Japanese Yakuza gang leader who ordered a hit to kill his own daughter because she would not follow him into a life of crime, he repented and became an elder, yes of course he did, who would disbelieve that? its highly credible

Drop Off in Mentioning 1914
by steve2 invideos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.
paranoia rules supreme!.
curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.

the thing is Cobweb, we can forget all about our appendix, tonsils,goosebumps,tailbone etc as they serve no use to us, "The generation that saw the events of 1914 and who would not pass away until the creators promises that will be fulfilled by the end of the 20th century" cant be forgotten, its embedded in their history ! even if they have stopped production of old publications and the only publications they make available online are only a few years old us merry band of activists have all of it stored in sheds,garages and personal libraries across they world, my god thats wonderful
