I must have missed this part....I don't remember it. But, I missed alot of meetings this summer.
I remember a Dr Oz show that was in favored of masturbation.
I think it is ok to Bait, but to become a Master at it is wrong.

Service meeting topic: Masturbation
by perfect1 inone of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.
i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).
looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

"Suggested" Donation when attending Circuit Assembly
by BluesBrother ini could have called this "fee now charged to go to circuit assembly" but i do not want to start rumours that go beyond what was actually said.
the k hall announcement encouraged attendance at the upcoming assembly day.
the elder then said that since the congregation no longer has to make a blanket donation to the assembly hall it is expected that the publishers remember their responsibility to maintain the costs.

What frustrated me was the surplus of funds from each Circuit Assembly was automatically sent as a donation to the Society. This always made us start off with a deficit for the next convention. Then came the announcements...."Hello", "we have a deficit, you know. Keep standing up up until someone pays for it".

Quick question for recent convention attendees, did your hotel offer box lunches?
by Theocratic Sedition inour hotel did, and on the surface that's no big deal.
matter fact i think it's a good business move on the hotel's part and pretty darn good customer service.
after the song was finished and the chairman did his announcements initiating the noon break, i got to wondering if the wt had anything to do with these box lunches offered by the hotel.

Interesting discussion with some Witnesses at my door today
by jwfacts ini moved to a new home about 6 months ago, so am no longer on a do not call list, but have not been contacted by jw's yet.

I enjoyed your experience with this family. What I found interesting was that they didn't run away when you had mentioned your Bethel experience.
They chose to stay and listen to you, they shared their beliefs with you. It didn't end in a heated debate, just a disagreement.
Enjoy your new home, and territory.

It was an interesting twist and it still managed to maintain Jason Borne's(Matt Damian) charater within the story. I heard that Matt was taking a break from the Bourne series. A very good movie to watch for the summer.

It was/is a complication within the arrangement. There is no suggestion from the Society for solving it, just a spanking for making them look bad for people(s) desparation.
I prefer smaller DA's where you know the attendees, than the larger ones.

Yes, I do remember those references, Blondie. But, what a pain it was to invent a bagged lunch while you hurdled to get your seat saved.
Which grocery was opened early enough to sell you items to prepare a lunch. You were expected to be there for the day, and not supposed to leave during lunch hour to shop for lunch. If that is not a burden.
We are fortunate to drive only 45 minutes to the DA. I feel for those that have to struggle with this.
It was a lot kinder in the good ol days.

Latest "Questions From Readers" - who wrote in with this question?!
by cedars ini kid you not.
the latest watchtower study edition has the following question under consideration in the "questions from readers" article on page 20:.
do jesus words found at matthew 19:10-12 suggest that those who choose to remain single have received the gift of singleness in a mysterious way?.
-

Well to some, being single may be a mystery.
But to those that are selecting a marriage mate they are more aware of why that person is still single, i.e "Loser, pervert, creeps you out, unemployable, sh#t disturber etc".
Some just don't get it. But, who has the guts to really tell that person the truth as to why they should still be single. It's better to tell them that they possess a gift. A Consolation gift.

canada bethel laying off ppl in shipping
by jnrtigbfxd0 inso when the mags for north america + carribbean were to be printed in canada, canada bethel (aka georgetown) sent out notices to all disctrict conventions in 2008 that they need lots of help.
i think the bethel family increased to over 400 with at least 50 new guys just for shipping.. however, now that the mags are only 16 pages, lots of those new guys are being layed off.
the double shift (6-2,2-11) is now being combined into one shift (8-4/5 i guess).
