Tiki-
Women speakers? Well, I don't want to spoil it for you, but ahh, what the heck. During the 1pm symposium, on the "Sisters" part, there is a demonstration where two sisters get in a bare-knuckle fist fight in the back seat of a cutaway honda civic right on stage. Afterward, there is a soliloquy of each sister reflecting on their behavior. One sister feels bad and wants to apologize. The other sister harbors resentment, and has homicidal thoughts. Just then, the lights in the stadium go dark, and the baptism pool is lit up by red flood lights, symbolizing the "lake of fire". Without warning Garit Losch runs out from back stage, grabs the resentful sister over his head and body-slams her into the symbolic lake of fire. Followed by the longest round of applause I had ever heard. It was so dark in there, I can't be sure, but I think I even saw Brother Losch doing a touchdown dance. You don't want to miss this program. The final talk is given by a Guy Pierce hologram! He asks Stephen Lett to touch the holes in his hands if he doesn't believe it's really him. Very uplifting.

I have heard that phrase several times on the JW Broadcast, uttered by GB members! "The governing body has asked me to bring to your attention (whatever)". Aren't YOU the governing body? What's up with the 3rd person jargon? Why not "as a member of the governing body, we thought we should bring this to your attention", or better yet "Jehovah thought we should bring this to your attention". No, be as disconnected as possible.
Anybody else notice that annoying phrase?

It's probably so they can divert money into that corporation and keep it separate. That way, when they get sued, they can say "look, we don't have any money! Sure JW Congregation Support, Inc has money, but they are their own thing over there. You can't have their money". -

Drama played at pioneer school

A paragraph disappeared from my post above, so I'll repost:
"One brother played the role of an angel. He was standing guard at the entrance of paradise."
Wait, I thought the paradise was "global"! Now there's an "entrance"? So there must be a non-paradise area where the judging takes place. Oh, and I thought it was Jehovah judging from his book, not Angelic nightclub bouncers.
I know it was just metaphorical. But still. They just had to work in a "Saint Peter standing at the pearly gates" joke.
Plus, they left out that heartwarming bit where he is deemed unworthy, and tossed lovingly into the lake of fire.

I would hate to have somebody talk to the chair I sat in...
Angel- Lets us ask. Chair (as in chair from the KH), did he attend all meetings?
Chair- For what I can remember, he did. I felt a lack of respect for Jehovah's house as he unleashed a constant barrage of flatulation through the entire program. He was careful not to make noise, but I believe that only made the attacks more pungent. -
