I always found that prayer helped to clarify the problem. Seeing as we were told that we had to work in harmony with our prayers I never waited for God to act anyway. I identified the problem and then identified what I could do to help myself leaving anything I couldn't control in God's hands. Funnily enough usually I had done enough for myself so God never felt the need to interfere.

I think you might be right. I had a great time phoning Manchester. At the end of the day the information is there showing what a fine upstanding bunch we all are. If it is a joke then as with all children ignore them and they stop.

I'm sorry but as already stated the times are 10:00 am Sunday and 7:15 Thursday. Or 1:30 Sunday and 7:30 Tuesday.
Palatine Road is an assembly hall not a Kingdom Hall.
Please please after all the patience shown it would be great if you telephoned the numbers yourself if you don't feel that enough information has been provided. Also thanks might be in order, just a thought.

Seeing as you are having difficulty using the telephone I have telephoned the numbers for you.
Higher Road the meetings are held 7:15 on Thursday and 10:00am on Sunday. They share the Hall so other meetings are held at 7:30 on a Tuesday and 13:30 on Sunday.
These are fairly standard times and will apply to most halls in the area. I spoke to several brothers up there and all seemed very warm and friendly.
May I suggest that on your arrival you take a walk to the hall and check meeting times displayed outside espeacially as meetings switch in the new year.
Hope this helps

The show must go on..
by outofthebox ini was reading in the spanish forum (http://www.extj.com/foro/showthread.php?t=15396) that an old sister died from a heart atack during the memorial, but that didn't stop the ritual.
i remember a lonley very sick sister calling for help to the kh during an emergency, and the elders told her, they were busy in an elder's meeting.
she almost died and was rushed into the hospital by 'worldy' people.

A while ago a sister was giving a talk on the platform. Unbeknown to her as she moved the chair back to sit down one of the chair legs was dangling over the edge of the platform so as soon as she took her seat the sister and chair toppled off the platform landing in a heap on the floor. The platform attendant rushed forward and picked up the chair, checked it was ok and put it back on the platform leaving the sister lying on the floor. He then went back to his seat.
The sister told me when she sat up all she could see were rows of serious looking brothers and sisters just waiting for her to get up. No one asked if she was ok or if she needed a moment, they were all waiting for the talk. She got up, went back on the platform, gave the talk and got off. The school servant never mentioned the fall in his counsel. She said it was a shame she wasn't working on introductions to arouse interest.
This incident shows not so much the lack of compassion since when she talked to people privately they all expressed how concerned they were. It shows the level of control at the meeting, noone wants to make a scene or do something wrong so they would rather do nothing than something. Hopefully now we can give full reign to human compassion.

LMAO - I know exactly what you are talking about. Current elders always seem to have a standard sized brief case a diary (usually black A5 size) and a brown folder containing talk outlines, group report summaries prepared by the cong sec and the emergency planning stuff. NB: The Elders with a decent job will replace the Diary with a Blackberry.

Jen, I can't give you much advice since I am not yet in your situation and everyone's circumstances and family are different anyway. But what I can say is build new friendships and get close to non-JW family if you can and most importantly, hang in there, be who you are and enjoy life.
