11 202 - Memorial participants.

That's lower than I had anticipated, but it is an increase over last years' partakers.

the official wt understanding on where to park your butt during the meeting is to move around from meeting to meeting in order to get in more association or whatever but i never really saw things that way.

the kh seating arraingment at my hall went as follows;.

if you sat in the front you were really late or wanted to seem really spiritual.. the elders and pioneers always liked the same seats every meeting.. shiftless ones and those who wanted sympathy for thier back ailments would stand in the back during the talks.. ever had a sister in your hall bring in their own chair and footstool?.

When I was 'zealous' I would sit 3 rows from the front, left side of the middle section.

Now, if I go at all, like once a month, I sit 3 rows from the back, on the aisle side of the left section. Closest to the lobby doors and exit.

No Blood Card: Counter document to file for your child

by alamb in

please find below a basic form that can be modified for your particular circumstance.

this should be filed with schools, attorneys, doctors, hospitals, etc.

as a counter to the no blood card.. .

I'd do some minor editing to the letter, but overall, well done. I would also get it notarized and/or give a copy to the lawyer.

They get that number from the peak attendance from the Memorial each year. Officially there are only just over 7 million JWs. The rest are anyone that happened to be suckered into attending the memorial.

Is the WTBTS having cash flow problems?

by JW GoneBad in

i was at a 2 day circuit assembly this weekend and i was surprised at how many times mention was made directly or indirectly reminding those in attendance (1,600) of the need to give $$$.

even in the soliloquies or skits they seemed to work in the need to give $$$.. it made me wonder if the society is having 'cash flow' problems and hence is desparate for cash.

over the years that i've attended conventions and assemblies the need to give $$$ has been subtle (imo), til now.

Soldier77

In answer to your question, yes, the WTS is having cash flow issues. If they weren't, they wouldn't be selling off branch offices worldwide and downsizing the rest. Is it enough to break them? Doubtful, but it is great to see that their blatant hypocrisy getting out of hand.

I listened to the meeting over the phone with my grandmother. This religion is nuts!!

friends

my grandmother has been a little ill, and had to be put in a facility temporarily.

she should be getting out sometime next week.

i'm not particularly close with her, and that probably has a lot to do with my father.

Soldier77

I know what you mean MLE. I went to a meeting a few weeks ago and sitting there listening to the bullshit made me think pretty much the same thing. This is a total waste of my Sunday morning! I go just to show face and let the elders know I'm traveling a lot so they think I'm gone all the time.

Thanks for sharing your experience with your grandmother.

Violent entertainment and it's effects

by sabastious in

the watchtower has always talked about violence in entertainment.

it is one of the watchtower's historical hot topics.. and for good reason too.

virtual violent entertainment is a very new phenomenon in our world.

Soldier77

It's pretty hypocritical of the WTS to say that violent entertainment has bad effects. I mean hell, read the OT, lots of violence, rape, pillaging, murder, adultery and war. Of course, most of this is perpetrated by the God of the OT.
