I wonder if it has dawned on the first one of them (JWs) that the transition has been smoothly made between publicizing Gods name OR the kingdom to publicizing the name of an organization?

Vacation Time! Going To A Regional?

by millie210 in

this is the first year i have not been at a summer assembly.. the friends here locally just got back from the regional in our area.. they mostly took their vacation time from work to attend.. while they were gone i had an epiphany...... why is it that the rank and file take their summer vacation time to attend an assembly (we have all heard this hammered in from the platform) whereas the governing body attend as part of their "work".. it cant be as simple as "well, they are giving talks" because there are many brothers that give talks from the rank and file also who have used up precious vacation hours and drug their entire family there plus give their parts.. or what about other brothers and sisters who volunteer and clean at the assembly.

on vacation.. so the pubs.

travel at their own expense, pay for their own rooms and food, and give parts and it is supposed to be viewed as their vacation.. the gb and c.o.s travel to the same assembly and stay in provided for accomadations, give a talk or two and they are "working".. what is that about?.

This is the first year I have not been at a summer assembly.

The friends here locally just got back from the Regional in our area.

They mostly took their vacation time from work to attend.

While they were gone I had an epiphany.....

why is it that the rank and file take their summer vacation time to attend an assembly (we have all heard this hammered in from the platform) whereas the Governing Body attend as part of their "work".

It cant be as simple as "well, they are giving talks" because there are many brothers that give talks from the rank and file also who have used up precious vacation hours and drug their entire family there plus give their parts.

Or what about other brothers and sisters who volunteer and clean at the assembly. On vacation.

So the pubs. travel at their own expense, pay for their own rooms and food, and give parts and it is supposed to be viewed as their vacation.

The GB and C.O.s travel to the same assembly and stay in provided for accomadations, give a talk or two and they are "working".

What is that about?

I know the local C.O. is just getting ready to take his two week vacation in August before starting his new assignment.I know the Governing Body take vacations also.

Has this dawned on the rest of you?

It probably has.

But for me I never gave it any thought until this moment.

I dont think many of the rank and file have given it much thought either.

I wanted to apologize to ToesUp for doubting.

The picture is on page 27 of JWarchive and as OrphamCrow mentioned above it is showing up on some European websites also.

So it is

for real.

The religion isnt, But the picture sure is. Go figure.

Star Of Bethlehem To Appear July 3, 2015? Oh Really?

by millie210 in

this meeting in the sky is known as a conjunction.

this conjunction between jupiter and venus usually isnt rare, but this is the closest they will have been in 2,000 years!

together, they create the rare star of bethlehem.

OrphanCrow41 minutes agoI think the photo is authentic. It is showing up on VK, the European social media site.

What's next? Uniforms for the rank and file? Caleb and Sophie dressed in blue with white trim? Little pockets on their beating breasts with jw..org embroidered on them? And maybe matching caps?

Thanks Orphan Crow,

You are such an amazing researcher - I am amazed.

I am going with it being real. This is overjoying to me because I know my still in family hates this. They wont say so but they will disapprove. Someday, somehow, I will be able to use this to the advantage of the "real" truth.
