  I heard and I stress heard, that the gb were discussing whether to make BT a 'conscience' issue when the planes flew into the buildings on that fateful day and they said it was a sign (!) from Jehovah that a conscience issue was not on.

  District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium

  by NikL in

  2. friends

  last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

  there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

  they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.

  First off a big thankyou for putting this together.

  A very disturbing and most useful collection of information. This is a doc that all here will print and pass on to those whose professional life involves kids.

  so let me get this straight.

  even though law enforcement has their hands full with illegal drugs and guns on the street, child traffickers, dangerous gangs and such.

  they are going to now pool all their resources to confiscate bibles and religious literature?!

  Unless paper is water proofed once buried it will quickly rot.

  I wonder what message the magazines from 1956 would have if dug up today, some very very old light?

  Yes, you are quite correct the program was only a snapshot but must have been an 'eye-opener' for many who watched it.

  re clergy privilege etc.

  The wt here in Australia tried to pull that one on at the CARC and got told by the justice they cant have it both ways . I hope the lawyers in Montana for the victims have been made aware of this.

  Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

  someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

  we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

  and here in Oz we have few nationally known comedians. And some especially female cant open their mouth without using profanity.

  The convener Jennie Brockie missed a gold opportunity to ask the jw there the one in pink just why she insists on shunning her sister.

  Their father said a few times his family was broken but he didnt have the ability (quote: the psychology") to make it well again. and why? was this because all the years of wt 'culture' meant he had no mental or learned ability in interpersonal skills? That he was as we all have been dissuaded from going to a counsellor?.

  This family said several times they cant get together as the fight much of the time. The nature of those fights like what about would have been in context and revealing.

  also, the one attending the kh said and this was not taken up, that she always got (gossip) told by other sisters of the the doings of her mother.
  

  But these insights aside it was a clear expose of the family wrecking the wt indulges in.

  Much credit must be given to the people involved who stepped into the spotlight with their 'demons'.

  oh and best I recall the dfd started because one lady was "pecking" (kissing.?) an elders son. That is it.
