My old KH had this, but the new hall has security camera's like Fort Knox. When I was younger this was my favorite assignment....got you out of the meeting and broke up the boringness.

Did you / do you have KH Parking Lot Security Duty?
by Alfred injust wondering if this is only a regional thing.... i've been in two kingdom halls in the 90's where the parking was basically shared or public... so every 15 minutes, baptized publishers (who were not irregular or inactive) were rotated and had to stand outside in all kinds of weather just to watch everyone's vehicles.
when the weather was nice, it was a good opportunity stretch out to take a break from the borefest.
but i always thought that this was so contrary to their belief of "putting kingdom interests first"... i even approached an elder one time about this and asked: "why are we putting material things ahead of listening to the public talk?

Which came first for you? Watchtower illegitimacy, or a compelling alternative?

NEW TO JWN and Lovin it!! A Little about me
by Zordino inhello all, i've been on this site for a few weeks (reading for longer) and i have to say this site has helped me a great deal.
i see from reading all the posts that many many people share my views on the whole jw thing and i'm so glad i can express myself without getting into problems with getting reported to the elders or something.
i am currently in my late 30's happily married to a jaydub with 2 kids.

"Get out of the bleachers and into the game"... Memorial 2012 demonstration.
by koolaid-man innow is a good time to start making preparations for the memorial night demonstration at your kingdom hall thursday, april 5, 2012, after sundown.. close to 20 million people will attend this annual global witness event including active witnesses, relatives and friends of witnesses, bible studies,return visits and still attached former witnesses.
the evils of the watchtower org.have to be exposed and this is an ideal time to do it.. many around the world have been adversely affected by their association with jehovah's witnesses and you can be an instrumental force by standing tall and courageously exposing the watchtower organization.. there is no better way to let the watchtower know your revulsion than to broadcast and present your view by standing fearlessly, demonstrating in front of a kingdom hall.. i am fully aware that a handful of the internet therapists who post on this forum will not agree with this method of unmasking the watchtower.. those intolerant, contemptuous critics who will comment on this thread making harsh judgements and finding fault with those who protest are perhaps deep-down wishing they had the backbone to stop hiding in cyber-space, step away from their computer and "get out of the bleachers and into the game" .
lets make this a global event!......

Reform on blood issue?!?!
by Wishididntknow innot sure of the validity of this but i thought i would put out there.... danny hazard seems like a loose cannon...but...your thoughts?.
associated jehovah's witnesses for reform on blood are announcing the beginning of the end of the jehovah's witness blood doctrine.. since 2000 the watchtower society was forced to change their semantics on how they handle punishing its members for taking blood transfusions to save their lives.the european court of human rights negotiated this change when the country of bulgaria refused to acknowledge the watchtower society as a religion, due to the fact that the watchtower punished its members for accepting needed medical procedures to save their own, or their children's lives with blood transfusions.. but ajwrb has been tracking the development of these changes, and we have searched for any actual occurrences of a jw (who wants to stay a jw) getting disassociated for taking a blood transfusion.we have not found a one.
in the past we have not been able to get watchtower service dept.

What's The Worst Thing You've Heard An Elder Say Or Do?
by minimus ini think it has to be the way they treat disfellowshipped persons.
as another thread, they simply ignore the person as if they're dead!.

The WTBS did not lock their doors during 9/11. They were actually hosing off people and giving food and water (regardless of faith)...Just thought I would set the record straight.... Not that Im an apologist....just a believer in fact.- from NYC

Associated Jehovah's Witnesses for Reform on Blood are announcing the beginning of the end of the Jehovah's Witness Blood Doctrine.
Since 2000 the Watchtower Society was forced to change their semantics on how they handle punishing its members for taking blood transfusions to save their lives.The European Court of Human Rights negotiated this change when the country of Bulgaria refused to acknowledge the Watchtower Society as a religion, due to the fact that the Watchtower punished its members for accepting needed medical procedures to save their own, or their children's lives with blood transfusions.
But AJWRB has been tracking the development of these changes, and we have searched for any actual occurrences of a JW (who wants to stay a JW) getting disassociated for taking a blood transfusion.We have not found a one. In the past we have not been able to get Watchtower Service Dept. members to say that they would not disfellowship someone for taking a blood transfusion, this being the case even long after the 2001 semantic change, let alone, getting them to say they won't disassociate someone for such a sin,and we could never get them to state categorically that they would not disfellowship for taking blood.
But now I have been told personally by Watchtower Service Dept. personnel,that taking a blood transfusion is *not a disfellowshipping offence*.
This is yet another subtle semantic change for those not intimately familiar with Jehovah's Witnesses, but to the trained, experienced Jehovah's Witnesses, this is a loud 3 alarm fire. They are literally saying, *taking blood is not a serious enough sin to get one disfellowshipped now.*
Getting disassociated, carries with it exactly the same sentence as getting disfellowshipped.It causes complete social death in an individuals life. All contact with family and friends are severed under the threat of those family and friends also being disfellowshipped or disassociated if they speak to you. Hence, if taking blood is no longer a disfellowshipping offence,then it is no longer a disassociating offence.
