we never had music and activites after a convention, who here didn't go in service after the convention, especially in the days of 4 or more day day long convention.

Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

instead of preaching and saving people??.

And there's the picture of the GB again. They must really be enjoying the limelight.

Without Fail...

on a non-jw related note... my wife put up a bee hive on the back part of our property two weeks ago.

her and my daughter are very proud of it.. there is an old dead tree that needed to come down.

i meant to do it before she got the bees, but circumstance was that i didn't.

Glad it worked out. Growing up my uncle kept bees, I think it was really cool, and I probably would now if it wasn't in a neighborhood.

had a call from an elder a few weeks ago, asking if he could visit.

managed to get away with saying thanks but no thanks.

had another one tonight.

CultBgone, it shouldn't since they don't count you after 6 months of inactivity if I remember correctly. It makes the inactive count look better.

New Atlanta Assembly Hall Has raised 3.4 million Dollars... GONE

they announced last week that the new atanta assembly hall has thus far raised 3.4 million dollars.

my local told that will become the society's come may 1. i wonder how that will go over with the ones who have been contributing to this fund..

Bessemer was a horrible place, I can't see how they can make any money on it's sale. Years ago I was told the cost of upkeep wasn't worth it but it had to resale value.

im amazed that SC can have two and yet Ga only has one assembly hall. In the past I assumed that it was because GA had nice rental facilities available, but I was always shocked at far they were willing to make people drive. for example Rome or Bessemer.

Ray Nagin was in the news a lot here in Ga.

I echo Konceptual's question, is this because of the new donation arrangement?

Memorial Musings

a few things noticed in last nights annual, jesus who?

gathering:.

1: only one scripture from the gospels was read or cited.

Later on when the speaker directed us to the verses to be read while the emblems were passes, my SO leans over again and says "yeah, because why would we want to read it from the Gospels?"

Unless it has changed in the new "silver sword" this is the only place mistranslated to say "keep doing this" the gospels don't show it as a recurring thing.
