Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.
the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.
i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

I just recall that they were long and boring. The best thing you (a brother) could hope for was to get an "assignment" that required you to be "working" during the sessions. Auditing was good, or being an attendant in the hallways telling others to find their seat. Even better was being a "big shot" in the Chairman's Office or Administration where you got to rub shoulders with all the Bigwigs from Bethel.
It does seem like many former JWs still have that problem with "long & boring" when they make their YouTube videos. I guess it just stays with a person.

We had just finished reading "Crisis of Conscious" and the threads about Menlo Park on this site. It became our last Convention.
Nope, no more Conventions!The greatest revenge is living a happy & successful life!

What would happen to a JW for celebrating Christmas?
by Vanderhoven7 inmark jones writes:.
if they were spied upon and it was reported to the elders they’d be “invited” to a judicial committee whereupon they’d be cross examined in a locked backroom by three men acting as judge and jury to decide if they are guilty.. .
if the elders decide that they are guilty, they’ll then decide if the person is sorry.

I know of several inactive JWs that used the "unbelieving spouse" card and it worked. They just did not want to be DF and "lose" their JW family. -

The boy who has cried wolf - for nearly 140 years!
by BoogerMan in"when will this hope be fulfilled?
the bible foretold events that would signal that god’s kingdom is about to begin its rule over the earth.
present world conditions match what the bible foretold.

Why do they call them The Last Days?
Because they last and they last and they last and . . . . . . .

God won't lift a finger to help you.
by nicolaou insea breeze: @nicolau,i stated my case rather succiently, which you failed to address.
if you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what jesus offers, then why don't you present that in a new topic?.
pathetic diversion.

When you REALLY dislike an abrasive alcoholic co-worker, it is easy to find ways to help them move along to greener pastures.
It sure seems like the others on the GB stacked the deck with the new GB members and were successful in building a coalition to oust Tony. Guess it should not be that surprising as it happens in congregations every day. I suspect every former elder here has witnessed it.

I think anybody who is left in the JWs at this point does NOT care what is being taught. ~ LHG
I think that is a great summary of it all. Nor will they care about any "new light" changes. For whatever reasons, they just keep drinking the Koolaid.

Gotta admit that I am pretty surprised that WT has kept the lid on it so successfully. That is a rarity in WT World as they all love to gossip!
