Too many beards to be convincing. But the girl in front could be, she's obviously very ashamed over her boyfriends wild behaviour.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Does this remind you of yourself at JW gatherings?

The oldest books in my personal library are written by J.F.R. but I never considered them as apostate material

It must be over 25 years ago. I was in Field service with group of friends in need help-area. One person gave me one apostate book as contradonation for my magazines and asked politelly to read, I did, with no affect though. Later I have met such people in very near family, but that is totally another story.

The lady behind the one answering is actually looking the microphone bearers clothing with disgusted expression. But what is the remote control device she is having on her lap, it looks like Wii control. What would she do with it during the meeting?

As long as I remember we had Christmas Food, surprisingly in Christmas time, in very traditional way. All the family, including the DF/DA'd branches were invited to join the meal and enjoy family time together. No tree and decorations (except much candles), no presents (except what we got from DA/DF families), no singing (which I'm grateful for). I can't really label it as Christmas celebration, but it was not far from it anyway.

Why is the lady in top right not paying attention? She's checking something else out. Could the clock be that low?
My guess is that she is checking someone out, maybe slightly flirty, possibly the visiting speech holder. She also sits one seat away from her husband the "count the people" elder.

A Gem From This Week's TMS
by torn in two son inbefore i get to the gem in this week's tms, let me let any of you newbies here up to date with us jdubs and schooling.
in the february 22, 2002 watchtower, the wtbts released the article titled "how my dream was fullfilled".
it was one of many typical jw stories of a good devout jdub "resisting temptation" and accepting the borg as absolute truth.

With all due respect, the above perfectly illustrates the problem here.
Exactly, that is why I think saying that they are most educated people is self-righteous. Saying that they are well informed would already be different, even not exactly right either.

The word most at least is wrong and propably education is wrong term about it. But at least I must say that the variety of themes available ie. through awake magazine is exceptional. If people read those articles, at least general knowledge about different phenomenoms should be raising. It is absolutelly not equivalent (2-3 pages) to specified studies in colleges or universities ofcourse, but spectrum of themes is wider also. I've learned lots of interesting stuff from the awake articles that would not otherwise have been brought to my attention.
All things are not bad, self-righteous statements may very well be.

Thanks AGuest for your viewpoint, I appreciate that you explain your view this thoroughly and with full dedication.
With Pontius words, but what is truth. Still, as I am tempted to speculate around lots of things, more about this counting of anointed. I found where the bad anointed article was referenced. It is in this thread, copied there by St. George.

I hope it is not what the worst case scenario would be. I know several ladies that have survived breast cancer, actually I do not personally know any that have died of it. It is mentally very hard time to get cured, all the treatments take their toll, weighing your options must be pressing too. But after, those I know have fully recovered and are actually enjoying life even more than before.
