  all throughout my life tuesdays were my meeting nights.

  well tuesdays and thursdays to be more precise, when we had book study but book study was at my house so it wasn't terrible.

  anyways as a kid i hated coming home from school, doing homework and then going to the meetings.

  No, there is no legitimate reason for anyone to stand in line for days/weeks to buy a phone. After the line is served, you can walk into the store and get one. It is complete and utter stupidity.

  I believe a number of those people that are first in line are paid by Apple marketing to hype up the latest phone release.

  i kind of wanted to know if some have made this transition from escaping the satellite/cable monopoly to the large antenaes that require no monthly bills.

  does it work?

  is there a good quality such as hi def?

  Quarterback not only is there high def; its the best quality HD picture available compared to cable/satellite.

  Yes, there are broadcast DVRs on the market. Tivo, Simple.TV, or use any Windows 7 or later PC with TV tuner.

  http://www.antennaweb.org/ will guide you to what channels you should be getting as well as direction to aim antenna and what kind you need for your exact location.

  From what information I can remember about this direction 2-3 years ago is they are just repeating the reasonable recommendations of the government...72 hour kit ("bug out bag")...family should have a pre-determined location to escape to, if not more than one.

  What got ridiculous was when the elders started asking for us to fill out spreadsheets on all persons living in the household (whether they were witnesses or not,) their congregational status, if they had DPA filled out, who held their power of attorney and I don't remember what else.

  What is with the 'red carpet arrival' of the delegates??

  Also, the convention is a religious football game now? With fans that make their own logo paraphernalia and hold up written signs/banners? With post-convention interviews?

  A JW sitcom?

  by Island Man in

  has anyone ever thought of creating a jw sitcom?

  i mean, there's enough humor and drama in jw culture to keep audiences entertained for multiple seasons.

  we have judicial committees, c.o.

  might work as a web series-not actual TV.

  7 storylines are FAR too many for the average viewer to keep track of and would be impossible in a TV sitcom format. Sitcoms have an A and a B story-there is only 22 minutes for everything-opening/closing credits included. Thats only about 10 minutes per storyline.

  I would totally see a reality TV show; you can get one greenlit on just about any subject matter, and I'll bet you can find witnesses to be in it. It would quickly fall apart as TPTB put the hammer down on participants in the show.
