Would it be inappropriate to play AC/DC's Highway to Hell on the way up?
Lol I will never forget playing Van Halens "running with the devil' out in service one time. There was this very emotional "annointed" sister in the car. I thought her head was going to spin around on her shoulders. You should have seen the backroom meeting that resulted lol. One of the elders was young and couldn't keeep a straght face as I was being counseled.
Its funny, that Sister refused to work with me anymore in Service. Good times....

Assembly this weekend, but also the Rapture...
by CaptainSchmideo incan i not go, and then hide for six months.
will my friends believe i got taken on saturday?.
if it really does happen, how embarrassed will the attendees be when they walk outside and find out that everyone else is gone, but they got left behind (and had to listen to a really boring talk on being encouraged to pioneer while all the excitement was going on outside?).

How do we know that members of the Governing body themselves are not emotionally or mentally ill, or have wrong past religous beliefs that are contributing to their partaking improperly?

Coercion to Refuse Blood
by Marvin Shilmer incoercion to refuse blood.
today i uploaded a new article to my blog documenting instances of inappropriate coercion to have jehovahs witness patients refuse blood.
the article clippings from the early 1950s are a must read.

Who choose the elders to give talks at the Circuit Assembly and District Assembly?
by Iamallcool inhow does that work?.

Dozy is right,
For the SAD and Circuit assembly it is assigned by the CO, who usually picks the brothers who have been used before. The DC system has a new report card ranking that the Service Committee and the TMS overseer complete. Its funny how it all works. The rating committee will ask the brother they are ranking to step out of the room when they discuss. He returns and then the next brother leaves and the brothers rank him. There have been more than a few hurt feelings during this process.
The Branch has pretty specific criteria for DC speakers. If you have ever been divorced or have had kids leave the org you are not permitted to give a talk on family life. The instruction letter pretty much eliminates many brothers. that is why you see many of the same guys over and over again on the programs.

Lack of true friends as a Witness
by stuckinamovement init was kind of a sad realization i had the other day that as a witness you are conditioned to not have friends.
i realize that most of this fact is related to my own stupidity and arrogance.
when i was in my teenage years i had a great group of friends that i ran around with.

Thanks for the comments. In my opinion the Society's beliefs cripples a person socially. Here is a test for anyone who feels that they do have true freinds in the organization. Tell your friend openly and honestly what you think about the Watchtower organization. See what happens.
That is why these message boards are so valuable. There are many here on this board who are still in the organization but are totally alone with no true friends on the outside and only acquaintances on the inside. This is the only place I have found where I could openly question my beliefs without fear of retribution. Pretty sad isn't it, that the best support a Witness with doubts could find is an anonymous message board on the internet?
Watchtower and Governing Body you have failed as an organization. The "sheep" can't go to you for help without fear of being beaten and thrown out of the pen. You are losing members right and left, you are losing lawsuits in every nation and you are throwing millions of dollars away publishing material that is read by few. Your predictions and teachings are subject to change at a whim. Your credibility is gone. Stop pretending to be something you are not.
Whew that felt good.
