yesterday, visited the hall for family reasons.. wt was about elder positions, educate younger brothers, delegate your work etc.
the usual story about the body of elders, give younger people a change and don't get atached to your position.
what was evident: 90 percent of the answers came from the sisters.. the elders looked like the house cat just eaten tweety.. never heared so much theory and knowing it will be fully ignored.. why make it a 45 minute issue for every tom, dick and harry?.

they started out with a $3,500 carry-over but by the end of the day they were short $25,000.
the speaker eloquently beseeched the audience to go the atm machines and give their generous contribution or at least their widow's mite.
after the sessions were over, our friend who attended walked from one end of the assembly hall and then to the other end and noticed long lines up to both machines with people who couldn't wait to run up their credit cards.
This is like a piramid fund. Jackpot!

the study was on how wt has refined itself over the years by ceasing celebrations of christmas etc.. paragraph 11.
11 what a fine example those faithful bible students set for us!
reflecting on their example, we do well to ask ourselves: βhow do i view the direction we receive from headquarters?
North Korea
"all people in the world are currently considered enemies of god" gee i wonder where some poeple get the idea that we are an extremist organization.. " jehovahs chariot is moving forward at blazing speed!
" in what reality is contraction and downsizing moving forward?.
"it used to be that if a congregation reached 150 publishers we would split into 2 congregations now if we have 2 congs.
Jehovahs witness are like North Korea.

in this wt literature illustration from a german kingdom hall, one can see that the two nonwestern jw's on the right are featured as needing to improve on their choice of clothing and become more american like the gobo wishes them all to be.. .. .

@steve2, so it is, JW's are judges, gossip and untrue.
Thay say "nice to see you again here" with the Kingdom smile but think "why don't you visit the hall every meeting" and "why did you not shave, you unbeliever".

What once started as a Bible study group has evolved in the most narrow minded sectarian life style...

Ok, let's start about the local comments here:
To start with the best one:brother former foreign field said: the brothers on the right are just like members of a motor club. They could have some good intensions initialy but have not a Christian look and feel.
Second best: brother bus driver made the comment that from a long distance you can see the brothers at the right are ambitious. He concluded that bodytalk says everything, also in the congregation.
Final, old brother funny said: the right pair of brothers want to show their expensive socks. That's not what christians wants to do, is it?
It's sad to see how this belief is going down to nihilist minds.
