among the inane fb comments i've come across about the agm, this one stood out as more inane than the most enthusiastic jw slobbering:.
"before we start taking about what happened at the agm we must be absolutely certain that all the meetings are over.
make sure that we are obedient in the small things ago that we will be obedient in the big things.
Here's one I saw on my FB feed. "AGM...EPIC!"
Are you F&%$$%# kidding me. Epic is the word you use to describe sitting in a building with no windows staring at a large video monitor for 3 hrs. All to recieve basically the same exact thing you already had...just worded a bit different. Wow. The koolaide is wafting through the air, I can smell it now. UnF$#@%&(believable!!!!
How many witnesses do you think actually slept with it?
...but it struck me as significant anyway.. i attended at a jw assembly hall, and was sitting behind a pretty typical jw family.
2 kids about ages 8 & 5, frazzled hen-pecked husband, and....the mom.
the lady of the house.
Thanks Sir82!!!
You have a way with words
"This lady is so convinced that the golden droppings of ambrosia falling from the lips of these 8 wankers is virtually spoken by GOD HIMSELF"
Love it! LMAO!!
it was totally vacuous.
despite the promise of "new light" in the opening talk there was nothing.. a few of the more clumsy phrases in the nwt have been improved, and it has a nice new grey cover - so what?.
i am thinking about the jws who have spent a lifetime waiting on paradise.
A few I know described it as 'EPIC' on Facebook, and other such ridiculous words for just another meeting....

Wow a New bible...in 21st Century English. Probably just an attempt to rake in some cash. I am sure they figure people will donate for a new bible. Whereas mant 'forget' to drop $ in the bucket for other pubs.
Also this really caught my eye: "Do not have association with "bum" witnesses" A new official designation. I guess all my friends have just lumped me and wife into "Bum" witness category.
remember, you read it here first!.
dear brothers: .
we are pleased to announce that arrangements are being made for all baptized and unbaptized publishers who read and write english, along with their minor children, to be invited to locations where they can hear the 2013 annual meeting program that will be presented on saturday, .
kiddingMe, this is the second time I read this. So I guess the ticket buisness is not happening in the U.S. I heard it from 2 witnesses. It's answered as far as I am concerned! ;-)
I doubt they would deny enterance to an inactive one, and how would they even know if that many people are streaming in. My wife wants to go. I told her I am not going, period.

Thanks St George!
Any 'Mericans out there too?? I imagine it's the same in the U.S.
Why would we be encouraged to go if we need to have tickets, unless they have a couple of extras. But then again, I am sure only the sec. is authorized to hand them out to regulars. hmmmm?
U.S. active undercover elders....any answers? Thank-you!!

Question for any in the know. My wife and are are technically inactive. We go to some meetings, but many people probably don't know that we haven't turned in time in a while.
We have been encouraged by family members to go. But according to this original letter, there are tickets involved. Is that still the case?
Are inactives, who "need encouragement" invited? or...would they (us) be turned away???
Thanks for anyone in "the knowing" class who can answer this question for me.
good morning everybody!!.
ok ive heard only "activejws in good standing" can attend, what if youre irreguar?
how are they enforcing this?
In our area I guess there are 2...Saturday and Sunday. So are these pre-recorded? Video or Audio?
i am truly surprised to see boeing trying to roll out a plane so full of bugs and flaws.
hope they can get things straightened out.
major us industry giant, lots of jobs..
Not too worried. Planes are complicated...they will get the bugs out. This happens to all new planes to some degree. There are billions of people on the earth and two main commercial aircraft companies. Boeing and Airbus. Fleets need to be upgraded. The world needs aircraft to make it go'round. This will pass & I think airlines will be patient due to the new technologies used that make it much more efficient...in the long run the 787 will save them millions of $$$
i was shocked when i heard a circuit overseer include a strange comment in his concluding prayer at the end of this sundays meeting concerning the adjustments discussed in the watchtower.
he said, in part (and im paraphrasing) thank you jehovah for the governing bodys unapologetic manner in providing these adjustments.
i thought to myself, what a strange expression to make in prayer to god!
Quite interesting.
I would love to be a fly on the wall in his brain. What could be going through his mind. Would you care to give his name? maybe others here know his personality and could shed some light on his prayer. Just a thought.
I totally understand if you'd rather not give that info.
Thanks for posting what you heard!
