  Things you did to pass the time at meetings/service/assemblies/conventions/memorials

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  2. experiences

  i'm currently at the meeting again... i'm always in the back working the sound cause everyone else can't seem to work it and i'm mostly on my phone reading jwn or writing, or doodling or sometimes i just stare at the audience to see who's falling asleep or daydreaming.

  its really the only way i can still sit through these things.. but i remember getting the number of a girl i used to like at one district convention and we would text each other during the program and talk about how boring it was.. i also remember sneaking out of a circuit assembly and going to see a car show that was going on right next door.

  that was fun!.

  2. bible

  this is a question i always wondered about and never got an answer to.. its also another reason why i'm finding it harder to believe in an 'afterlife'.. th idea that humans can live forever, now seems so scientificly impossible.. so i wanted to ask all the great minds on here,.

  if someone's spouse dies, and then they remarry,then armageddon comes and goes then the deceased is resurrected,.

  how,is that ever gonna work?

  Wouldn't it actually make sense for widows/ers to marry outside the thruth. In Armageddon their spouse would die in horrible way and if we have mis-interpreted this status of resurrected wrong, he/she would be able to remarry the late spouse. And if interpretetation is right they would be able to marry another survivor anyways.

  what do you call yourself?

  the question is directed at those members who still attend the meetings--to whatever extent--to make life easier.

  those who perhaps still associate to keep the peace in their family.etc.-----but dont believe it any more.. what do you call yourself--a jehovah's wtness?

  what religion (if any) do you write in that box if a form asks you?.

  Yes, what elderelite mentions here is a good point. If I am asked about my religious status by other than witnesses I tell them that I am not religious person.

  In my opinion central part of being true witness is the witnessing part. Even though in official registry it states Jehovas witness, I don't feel that way as I do not participate in witnessing. Closest I could describe me in my current situation is marked but unbanned witness hangaround.

  According to my understanding angels were able to desire sexual relation to women, even marry them. Wasn't that the reason why there are demons in first place. If they have that capability how can resurrected people without desire to marry be describes as angel like. I at least see a paradoxe here.

  Those who are resurrected do not feel any need for intimacy, all the bad things are forgotten. So there will really be no issue. Only those who came through A will have that kind of feelings and their children will also inherit it. Kind of two classes.

  In developped countries they could arrange these easily based on local attendance with modern technology, but ofcourse you would not feel the closeness to mighty ones and the gates of the gratitude might not open in equal level. Of course there are also costs involved when arranging this kind of couple of hours events.

  news to me

  by truthseeker1969 in

  i just heard this within the last day.. i had no clue that the society had a travel agancy within its offices!.

  anyhoo, in the area i live they called numerous hotels for deals for the convention and the gm whom i know through friends told me that they play hardball in getting the maximum commission possible for refering people.

  he said the average is about 10 to 15 percent of the room cost.

  Even though the arrangement would be based on direct booking and direct payment with listed hotel, the hotel needs to pay comission, sales incentive, whatever you want to call it, to organizing party, just to get to the list. Part of the agreed comissions can be collected in form of free rooms or other services in hotel.

  That above described method of using central booking source for bookings, pre-charging the rooms and actually having lower net-net price level with the hotel is regular method used by many hotel aggregators.

  All these are very common practises in business when we are talking about conference hotel booking arrangements or allotment based hotel room procurement.

  introduction: this subject came up on another thread and seemed important enough to justify its own thread:.

  judicial hearing procedure, chapter 7. recording devices.

  I have no clue how they actually could refer to confidentiality, who is protected by this confidentiality? It is you who is interviewed there not them, it's about your confidential issues, not theirs, just an assumption. If you choose to spread the recording containing your confidential sins, you may do it, it's not their business at all.

  I know, I know, they don't see it that way, but it's very illogical.
