good question, although I'm sure our loving creator would have devised another test in which they would have been guaranteed to fail and blame them again for it, all the while continuing his dick waving competition with the Devil.

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.

we had another old bag in our cong as a kid ( there were many) who had to have special wooden blocks attached to the bottom of her special chair she used to sit in during the meetings, her name was Claire Bastable, detested her. holy that thou, a massive attitude problem as well.

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.

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!.
