If you had the audience of the GB, what is your #1 question you would ask them?
by Darth Fader The Sequel inthere are a million of them and mine is by no means the most important question to ask them if i only had one shot at it.
but, i have always wondered what kind of bs excuse they would give as an answer to this question: "brother goober bum, given that there are both male and female partakers here on earth who claim to be of the 'anointed' and plan on being of the 144,000 ruling with christ in heaven for eternity........ why are the female 'anointed' treated as submissive, second class citizens and why is their opinion on doctrinal matters, matters of teaching and reproving, anything at all.... why are they not recognized while here on earth even though you claim that jesus has selected them to become angels to rule with him?

At RC, Splane says 1000+ new KH's needed, last year only "60" new one's built.
by oppostate inso there are now regular, full time "construction servants" and their help is much needed along with regional rbc volunteers, who better get working because over a thousand kh's are needed and last year only sixty were built by the u.s. branch.
.
splane also said that just with the new baptized this weekend all over the u.s. we had one whone new circuit, so we better put more work into building needed kingdom halls..

Pets aren't people, says speaker at Regional Convention. Fido and Mimi better watch out! And instead of drinking wine or beer go do some gardening or play golf.
by oppostate ina big discussion driving back from the regional convention about what exactly was meant about pets.. the warning was obvious to me.
don't get pets, they cost time and money and you would do better to spend your time and money supporting the organization and going in field service.. as to the wine and beer, because the bro during his soliloquy admitted that the first thing he would like to do is relax after a hectic day at work with a glass of wine or beer, his conscience was traumatized.
however he came up with a perfect idea, he'd go tend the garden (obviously a solution for a married bro) or hit some golfballs at the driving range (maybe he's not married).. maybe jesus should have told the wine guzzlers at cana to sober up and go till the fields.. .

From Amherst Maine, no that's Massachusetts, errors galore from platform, warning to Russians not to take Ukrainian's Bibles
by oppostate ini went to the whole three days of regional convention in amherst ma.
mostly i slept through the talks, and i did get a lot of exercise walking around the concourse area looking for a bathroom that didn't have an exesive wainint line to go pee, yes, at this convention even the men's rooms had waiting lines!!!
it seemed like a full third of the audience was perpetually walking around and socializing during the program.. there were so many errors, so many speakers tripping over their words from the manuscripts they were reading.

There were so many errors, so many speakers tripping over their words from the manuscripts they were reading. So bad in fact, that probably explains why people would rather be walking around or getting hour long bathroom breaks than sit through the talks?
We watched the GB'ers and GB administrative assistants talk to us through the TurboTRONs.
And GB Bro Lett what wide open eyes you have, the better to see everyone with through the TurboTrons on stage!
Bro Splane also a GB'er had much 'splaining to do about the third heaven and none of it made any sense, the new light wasn't kindled enough since during the lunch breaks there was much arguing about exactly what he meant. So we'll wait for the WT article next summer to clarify.
He (Splane) told the Russians who were sitting next to the Ukranian delegation to stay away from the Ukranians new gray NWT Bibles being handed out, and be happy with the fore and after material from the Bibles which was handed out to them as tracts without the Bible that is for the Russians to enjoy.
Of all language groups, why give the Ukrainians a new gray Bible and not some of the faster growing language groups like Spanish and Portuguese?

@WatchtowerFree
What's the colorful designation labels, are they background cards like the Attendants badges?
Are they "dots" on the RC badge (sometime ago the admin boys had a dot or a letter filled in as a "secret" pass to be let into the Convention Office without questions)

Do you even listen to yourself?
by doneandout inthe other night, the elder was getting us ready for our convention.
as i sat there, i was thinking, 'do you even listen to yourself?
' everything thing he said, said its going to suck.. bring a hat: its going to be sunny, prepared to get sunburned.. bring plenty of water: its going to be hot and sweaty.. parking is going to be bad: prepare to walk a mile to the site.. bring a fm radio: its going to be echoy inside.. .

From one convention to another the one thing that does stay with me has nothing to do with talks or dramas, it has to do with how stressful it was to arrange to be there and go through each day to be physically and mentally exhausted on Monday from the mind numbing and the directions to obey all weekend long.
Stress it my number one memory from attending each and every single event that's supposed to be a spiritual "holiday".

For me it's a matter of trust.
I no longer trust anything they print or proclaim during conventions, assemblies and meetings.
I am disgusted by all the rubbish they've force fed me and all those who've put their trust in them over the years.
