I have always heard, atleast about a few assembly halls that I know of, that they are already too busy, I don't see how they can handle more usage.
But that would be a good execuse to build more.

Interesting District Convention News.....
by Pyramid Scheme ini wanted to share some news from a family friend (he is my wt mole - still an elder, hates the shenanigans, but is still hanging on for all the reasons often discussed on this site) i know the various rumors have been discussed on here, and unfortunately the rumor about the conventions being eliminated weren't true!
(what a burden on the jw community - financial hardship for a good portion of them, guilting people into actually quitting their job to attend, physically exhausting for many, etc...etc......).
anyway, he told me that the district convention is being moved to 11 weekends at the jw-owned circuit assembly hall, and they are no longer planning on renting stadiums/large facilities in our area (northern ohio/southern michigan).

What was successful for me, don't use training pants execpt for bedtime, make wearing "big boy" underwear a privledge he wants, and he won't want to mess them up. But then you have to take the accidents with it.

As someone who was 30 when my parents decided to air their difference including about sex, I have to say your daughter does not want or need to hear anything about it.

Celebrating Christmas?????
by DATA-DOG ini am just curious, and not judging.
if you are a christian and you know that december 25th is not jesus' birthday, and may have pagan roots, then why celebrate it?
i was raised a dub as most of you know, and have learned the ttatt so i know how wrong they are about a lot.

What about the bible?
by Strawberryfieldsforever ini was remembering a conversation i had recently with my mom when she was still talking to me.
i asked her why the jw's keep getting new light on different teachings.
she told me that man is imperfect and needs to be corrected by jehovah time to time to get the teachings right.. well, i started thinking......man was imperfect when he wrote the bible, right?

Some time spent reading how the bible came to together, who actually wrote it, and what language experts have to say will be a real eye opener for you.
I suggest you start with karen armstrong's a history of god, then Richard elliot freidman's Who wrote the bible.

The *new*, new iPad ... will the iSheeple feel 'had'?
by Simon inso apple just released the new new ipad ... almost 2x the performance in cpu, gpu, wifi, lte etc.... makes me wonder, is that the reason that the last ipad didn't get a number?
they must have known and already been working on this version as the 'proper' one but some pieces of tech weren't ready so the last one was a stop-gap release.
if so, i wonder how the isheeple will react once they wise up?

Is that Ray franz that used to post on this board or is that just PMs? What was his user name?
It is wonderful that they have been able to keep this board running so long. 12 years is a long time in internet years!

No wonder it's iron and clay mixed...
by konceptual99 inhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19929249.
i really didn't realise that words like "row" and "frock" are not common in the us.. glad to see "autumn", "queue", "numpty", "muppet" making a splash over there.. even "chav" and "innit" are being used apparently.. hey all you irish/scottish/welsh/english posters, what other words should our friends over the water be using?.
wassock, fathead, plonker are three off the top of my head..

Loelaia said: That gives me bad memories of the time I was staying in the Midlands and I decided to walk to the local market and, it being Britain, there were nothing but hedgerows alongside the street, and so I had to walk in the road, and I was freaked
I get freaked at the thought of you not remembering something.
