First Aid @ the D.C.s -- could direction from Society cause them a lawsuit?
by tresdecu ini posted about something similar 3 years ago when i first joined.
even though my attendance hasn't been great the last year or so, i was asked to help my bro in law in first aid this year at the convention.
to make a long story short, the society has printed instructions for attendants to not cal 911 for an emergency.

Band on the run -- I am pretty sure about 5 years ago a kid died at a convention. He either fell from a high section down or down a flight of stairs. I know I was an attendant the year after that and they were CRAZY at the attendant meeting with how they wanted us to be on the watch and all the rules they needed us to make sure were being followed.
They still were focused on stupid stuff like ONLY USE ONE PAPER TOWEL WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HANDS!
Jah is watching to make sure you are faithful in what is least!

US Politics - please read
by Simon inwe're already being innundated with the drivel that is the us political process.. propaganda, right and left.
no one wants to discuss or debate, they just want to shout in each others faces.. so, here's the rules:.
you can discuss politics as long as you are discussing things.if you just post copy-and-paste propaganda it will be deleted.if you post it in anywhere but the politics area it will be deleted.if it's the inane "obama can't prove he was born" or "romney is an alien" crap then it will be deleted.if you repeatedly violate the above, including trying to get threads shut-down, then you will be deleted.this has been a public service announcement on behalf of the "i dont' give a shit, the government always gets elected" party.. .

District Convention Reminders
? Program Times: The program will begin at 9:20 a.m. all three days. The doors will open at 8:00 a.m. When the introductory music is announced, all of us should be at our seats so that the program can begin in a dignified manner. The program will conclude at 4:55 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 3:40 p.m. on Sunday.
? Parking: At all convention sites where we control the parking, the spaces will be available to attendees at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis. Only persons who have a state-approved disabled license plate or placard will be allowed to park in the area reserved for the disabled. Since parking is usually limited, carpooling should be done to the extent possible.
? Seat Saving: Seats may be saved only for those traveling with you in the same vehicle or living with you in the same home, as well as those with whom you are currently conducting a Bible study.—1 Cor. 13:5.
? Noon Meal: Please bring a lunch rather than leave the convention site to obtain a meal during the noon break. A small cooler that can be placed under a seat may be used. Large family-size picnic coolers and glass containers are not permitted in the convention facility.
? Donations: We can show our appreciation for the convention arrangements by making voluntary contributions to the worldwide work at our Kingdom Hall or at the convention. Any checks contributed at the convention should be made payable to “Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
? Accidents and Emergencies: If a medical emergency arises at the convention site, please contact a nearby attendant, who will immediately notify First Aid so that our qualified first-aid personnel on-site can assess the seriousness of the situation and render assistance. If it is necessary, our first-aid personnel will call 911. This will prevent emergency-response services from receiving many cell-phone calls over minor matters.
? Footwear: Each year a number of injuries occur that are related to footwear. It is best to choose modest, well-fitting shoes that will allow one to walk safely on stairs, gratings, and so forth.
? Hearing Impaired: The program will be broadcast in the auditorium on an FM radio frequency. To receive it, you will need to bring a small battery-operated FM receiver with earphones.
? Recording: Recording devices should not be connected to the facility’s electric or sound system and may be used only in a way that does not disturb others.
? Baby Strollers and Lawn Chairs: Baby strollers and lawn chairs should not be brought to the convention site. However, child-safety seats that can be secured in a seat next to the parents are acceptable.
? Fragrances: Most conventions take place in enclosed areas with mechanical ventilation. Therefore, it would be loving on our part to limit the use of strong fragrances, colognes, and perfumes that may cause reactions in persons with respiratory or related problems.—1 Cor. 10:24.
? Follow-Up Forms: A Please Follow Up (S-43) form should be used to provide information regarding any interest from informal witnessing during the convention. Publishers should bring one or two follow-up forms to the convention. Completed forms may be submitted to the Book Room or given to your congregation secretary on your return.—See the November 2009 Our Kingdom Ministry, p. 4.
? Restaurants: Honor Jehovah’s name by your fine conduct at restaurants. It is customary to leave a 15 to 20 percent tip.
? Hotels: (1) Please do not reserve more rooms than you will actually use, and do not have more people stay in your room than what is allowed. (2) If you must cancel your reservation, notify the hotel immediately. (3) Take a luggage cart only when you are ready to use it, and return it immediately so that others may use it. (4) Do not cook in rooms where cooking is not permitted. (5) Leave a tip for the housekeeper each day. (6) Do not abuse any complimentary breakfast, coffee, or ice provisions that are made available for guests to use while they are at the hotel. (7) Display the fruitage of the spirit in dealing with the hotel staff at all times. They are caring for a large number of guests and appreciate our kindness, patience, and reasonableness. (8) The room rate shown on the Recommended Lodging List is the full price per day, excluding tax. If you are overcharged or billed for things you did not request or use, refuse these charges and inform the Rooming Department at the convention as soon as possible. (9) If a problem arises with your hotel room, inform the Rooming Department while at the convention so they can assist you.
? Volunteer Service: The happiness we gain from attending the convention will be even greater if we volunteer to assist with the necessary work involved. (Acts 20:35) Any who wish to do so should report to the Volunteer Service Department at the convention. Children under 16 years of age can also make a fine contribution by working under the direction of a parent or guardian or other adult approved by one of them.

If I am not mistaken, they print this in the KM as well. I have always thought this was stupid myself. If I see someone get seriously hurt, particularly if it looks like a stroke or something I know that seconds matter and I am not going to wonder around looking for first aid to see if they have a $%#ing band-aid. I'm gonna call 911.

Anyone been to a meeting after a drink...or three?
by MMXIV ini recall going to the second half of a thursday night meeting after what was meant to be a cheeky after work beer (three strong beers downed quickly on an empty stomach).
i would have been ok had a caring elder not decided to grab me for some encouragement afterwards.. i hoped the faint odor of smoke on my clothes (smoking in pubs was still the done thing in those days) wouldn't be noticed but hard to hide alcohol on the breath.
i tried to say very little and talk in a way that avoided me beathing over him.

When I was in Bethel on our meeting nights a local liquor store had free wine/vodka/whiskey tastings. Every Wednesday night. Once me and my buddy learned this we hit it every week on the way to the meeting, even if I had a talk. Did it for about a year before HE got caught and we got talked to and stopped.
Towards the end of my fading, I would get sick of being in the meeting and go outside to listen over the radio and I would usually hit the flask.

IDENTIFYING MARKS OF TRUE RELIGION
? Those who practice it have genuine love among themselves.—John 13:35.
? All their beliefs are based on the Bible.—John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.
? They pray for God to sanctify his name.—Matthew 6:9; Psalm 83:18.
? They proclaim God’s kingdom in all the earth.—Matthew 24:14.
? They keep separate from the world’s affairs.—James 1:27; John 17:14.
? They put God’s kingdom and righteousness first in life.—Matthew 6:33.
? They cultivate the fruitage of God’s spirit.—Galatians 5:22, 23.
? They obey all human laws not contrary to God’s law.—Romans 13:1-7. Do JW's meet ANY of these marks? I'll give them the preaching work, but thats it. -
