Back in the early 90s I went to visit Brooklyn. We had a friend who had married a bethel boy and now they were serving there together. She was in housekeeping. I remember her telling us that these morning worship sessions were torturous for her. She's not a morning person at all, so she said that every morning she would want to stay in bed until the last possible moment, then rush to put on a skirt or dress, fix her hair, and her and her husband would get there just in time. She said she just wanted to be left alone in the mornings, but there were inevitably irritating people at their table who wanted to talk. Then, she suffered through these ridiculously long sessions. She said she would try to just stare at the clock, willing it to go faster so she could eat and get out of there.
That's the way I would be. I absolutely hate mornings. If anyon comes around me in the mornings, I'm an asshole to them. I just don't want to be bothered. My eyes are blurry, my mind isn't awake yet... I just don't want any human contact until I've had time to wake up.
I can't imagine having to endure this every single morning. What's the point of it? I bet at least half of the people sitting there at the tables aren't even listening.

Could you actually see or smell the breakfast food that you weren't allowed to eat until this old booger shut his piehole? That would kill me. Knowing that my breakfast was RIGHT THERE, just out of reach. And I couldn't touch it until the monotonous droning voice stopped making noise.

Oh my dear lord. You folks really got out of bed at the crack of dawn, got dressed in your Sunday finest, went to the breakfast table by 7 a.m........ for THAT?????? He almost put me to sleep within the first 2 minutes, just watching him try to figure out what DAY it was. Holy crap, I wouldn't have lasted 2 days in beth-hell.

@JeffT: I struggled with where to put Jehovah. I can see your point, that he belongs on his own tangent, similar to Jesus. But... I kinda like him being below elder's children, but above ministerial servants. I kinda feel like ministerial servants might be the highest eschalon in the Witness world that actually pretends to be obeying "Jehovah." Granted, most of them are only doing it as a pretense to hopefully get appointed as elders. So I made an editorial decision to put Jehovah right there, between Min Servants and Elders' families.

"the VISIBLE Golden Calf"
HAhahahahahahahaha that cracked me up... haven't heard that one yet. I love it.
As far as adding deceased GB members... that could really open a floodgate. I mean, in addition to Rutherford (wine steward), Russell (pyramid guy) Knorr (sodom expert) and Franz (linguist)... shouldn't you also add these ex GB members:
- Leo Greenlees (boy's wrestling coach)
- Percy Chapman (hot tub party organizer)
- Ewart Chitty (male model talent scout)

New JW chain-email going around
by FaithfulBrother inapparently, the society knows exactly when the great tribulation is going to break out, but they're only letting the public know through subliminal messages in their images.
here's a new chain letter that's being passed around between witnesses:.
(daniel 2:34, 35, 44, 45).

Here's another progression among the Witnesses, as seen in photos.
1950s: notice how the elder is keeping a safe distance from the young boy.
Current day: now the elder has his arm around the little boy.
Ahh, the progress that jehovah's organization makes. It's wonderful, isn't it?

Someone pointed out that Jesus doesn't really fit anywhere in the chart. So I made a new chart to reflect Jesus' actual position within the JW hierarchy.

The local administrator of the account can log into https://report.khconf.com/
and see who called in and for how long. If they see any strange numbers, like
numbers outside the area code they'll try to do a reverse look up to see who the
phone belongs to, and if they can't find out they will discuss the need to change
the pin number, then publishers who want to listen in have to call the Coordinator
for the new pin before the meeting. That's the standard procedure locally.
What happened with me was: my former congregation changes the pin number monthly. But I figured out that the administrator's passcode was 111111. A few times, I dialed in and listened to little snippets of the meeting by going in with the admin code. But you only get to listen for like 12 seconds, then it drops the call. I did it the night that my DA was being announced... I wanted to actually hear the announcement.
After that, I dialed in with the admin passcode a few more times... then someone must have logged in and seen that I was dialing in, so they changed it.
That's why I recommend that anyone who dials into KHCONF uses the *67 prefix to mask their number.
