  Yeah. Quietly fade .

  Vent on here as much as possible.

  Try to establish a network of non-witness friends .

  Subscribe to Netflix to ease boredom and loneliness.

  When/if eldubs corner or question you,,, you can quickly put an end to them imposing on you by saying,,,""Im fine. If I need you,,, I will contact you..'"' That should do it.

  Assembly with the branch representative

  by LaFrancia in

  2. experiences

  we had the meeting with the branch representative this weekend.. the air was different than usual.. bearded ushers at the parking lots welcomed the brothers warmly.. lots of sisters with dress pants or not, nothing scandalous.. the representative of the italian branch made his debut on stage with his full beard.. location: roseto degli abruzzi (italy-europe).

  some interesting statistical data can give a little food for thought after the numerous changes that have occurred in recent months (the ten-year or five-year plan, if you prefer, seems to be producing some small results).. attendance has increased since the last meeting.. our constituency includes 1725 publishers and those present in the morning were 1553, a little better than the november 2023 convention.

  perhaps the new changes have brought some back to attendance?.

  The age of naievety is ending

  We are entering the information age .

  Ignorance is a choice. The Borgs showcase at a$$emblies and CONventions is 3rd world countries like in Africa. Because.....fewer people have access to the internet and information.

  ""In recent years, more and more children aged 14,13, 12 have been baptised."

  The born ins,,youngest.

  The true victims of this Borganization. The "low hanging" fruit on the tree. The born ins of families of jws.

  Those who are "unduly influenced" are easily manipulated,,misinformed and cannot make a well informed decision.

  Disaster preparedness

  as your family considers its disaster preparedness plan, please ensure that the secretary has up-to-date contact information for you and your emergency contact.

  also, we have re- peatedly seen good results when brothers and sisters are prepared with go bags and are ready to obey direction when they face various kinds of disasters.

  please be sure you have a go bag, and review its contents at least once a year.

  ""The way they go at it, money must be involved".

  Bang on.

  When legal issues arise or when $$$$ is involved,, we really see this Borganization spring into action and what they're really all about.

  The local elders are hounding people for "lists" of phone #'s,names & information and such.

  Since when do people need the elders to look after them?

  What I think,, its just another method of keeping track of people and keeping tabs on people.
