Reading through all those comments made me realize that I sure do miss Outlaw but surely DO NOT miss the dramas.

Assembly Dramas:They were so bad.... but.... you waited for them to break away from the monotony!
by RULES & REGULATIONS in.
you do remember the four day assemblies... sitting outdoors being fried in the sweltering heat,getting heat stroke in the middle of july in an outdoor baseball stadium.sitting outdoors from 9:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. was so much fun while you wore a suit,long sleeve shirt and a tie while your brain fried.
mom's who had children to take care of,lug strollers,feed all the kids,take them for bathroom breaks and try to not faint from the heat.. the sound and audio was always breaking and barely audible from the wind,airplanes flying over and (if you attended the cicero,illinois circuit )you would smell horse manure from the horse stables next door.. you know that you are a jehovah's witness.... when the only excitement waiting for the drama... where brothers and sisters dress up in ancient cloths,fake beards,fake rocks and fake soldier uniforms and wave their hands incessantly to pretend that they are acting out a drama.the excitement was unbearable!.

Do you believe that this life is all there is
by Fisherman inthe bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.
what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.

Seems that an all powerful, omnipotent GOD could have made certain that his "subjects" were clearly made aware of a future life, if he really wanted to do so, OR, if he is really real.

Is burying someone on a golf course tacky?
by GabeAthouse intrump's first wife and mother of his children died recently.
they had her buried on his golf course.
do you think this is tacky or a savvy business move since it'll now get them some tax breaks as a cemetery?.

Tax breaks? Really?
It is kinda odd that The Donald just now decided to start his own family plot there beginning with an ex-wife.

In person attendance
by road to nowhere inwe got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.
also dress up for zoom if you must use it.
locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.

I suspect that the real facts are that the GB Heavies (pun intended) are aware that Zoom meetings have made it possible for "faders" to gradually fade. No one is really able to take that attendance count of their "service group" and see who is constantly AWOL.
IF you don't start showing up in person, you will be on their radar.

"New Boy Life and Death at the World Headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses'

I read it when it first became available.
Great reading. In fact I read it in one or two days.
Don't think a "never-have-been-a-JW" would get much out of it, but any JW would for sure.

I'm not sure it would be enough to care for all the friends that I'd have once the news hit that I'd won.

You're at the age where you should have some plans for your future. Getting free from WT isn't enough. You have to have a plan because at some point Mom & Dad aren't going to want to continue to support you.
Good luck!

Better to keep 'em down on the farm than send 'em to school where they might learn something.
