As a measure of protest, JWs should anonymously pledge high amounts to artificially inflate the number and just wait for the inevitable local needs talk.

Who is the biggest Loser JW you have known
by Clambake init seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.
of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.
i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.

My brother. He's hardly ever kept a job longer than a year, at which point he will quit to go pioneer with mother's express approval. Then he will drop out of that as soon as he knows he got away with it and will live the life of a JW socialite. What is sickening is that he lives in a region that is economically depressed and has quit jobs that literally thousands upon thousands would fight over. Why he even gets these jobs in the first place is beyond me. He has no secondary education, his experience is checkered, and his work ethic is extremely poor. Weeks after starting he inevitably goes on holiday for a week or two.

Why was the Book of Enoch omitted from the Bible..
by jam inthe book of enoch taught women magic, the art of war.
and cosmetic..they felt this book was too far out in left field.. the show "bible secrets revealed".. ok, magic vs having a monster baby by a angel.. so happy they omitted that book, otherwise women would.
be leaders of the militaries.

Because it was unlikely to have been written by Enoch. It would have had to survive the ark, flood, and down through the patriarchs and the Egyptian enslavement.

Japanese Tea Ceremony
by jgnat inwhen pushed in a discussion this spring, about what i believe now, i likened spirituality to a japanese tea ceremony.
i believe a good part of our experience and knowing comes from a vast well of the inexpressible.
try and explain it with words is just not the same.

I saw a Japanese Tea Ceremony on Karate Kid Part II, so I am way ahead of you guys on that one.

Guns and Roses fans?
by nonjwspouse ini'm not one, but just caught the biography on tv.
i happened to have met axel roses ( as he called himself by then) parents in a friend's neighborhood in indianna.
when axel would come home for a visit in the midto late 80's police cars would always end up at the house.

Axl wasn't so much as out of control as he was a complete asshole. His drug use was minor when compared to the other members and he kicked at least one out of the band because of drugs. Axl just loved to fight and cause trouble. He was the only conceptualist in the band and its creative force. But the man was difficult and didn't release anything else until long after everyone forgot about them. It all went to his head.

So I am guessing that Guy was the cuckolded party and the divorce was 'scriptural'.

Is the Governing Body trolling us?
by kneehighmiah ini'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.
the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.
calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.

I doubt it but if they did they would undoubtedly attain a certain level of schadenfreude as one would when they see an ex go off about them on a social media site years after the breakup.

No more circuit assemblies
by justmeok ini heard from a reliable source that there will be no more 2 day assemblies, but instead 2 one days each year.
anyone heard this yet?
supposed to start new service year.

Las Malvinas son Argentinas
Assemblies were more social events than real 'instruction' to the masses. I hardly ever paid as much attention as I would at a KH because there were so many distractions and less supervision from people who knew who you were. The speakers always got cross with the attendees whenever they informed us that the program was to begin shortly. People kept on chattering like it didn't matter. Conventions were originally conceived to generate as much attention in the public and press for what was then an obscure movement. They have served their purpose long ago and are hardly needed anymore. In this day and age no media outlet is going to care if the JWs congregate at a sport stadium for 8, 7, or even 2 or 3 days. They became JW social events, and for this reason I think the GB is keen on reducing the days (and by extension, costs) of these gatherings. Herd the sheep in, talk up a huge book release and guilt everyone into donating for it and the costs of the assembly. That should only take a day. The rest is just rubbish and filler.

They'll just punt it to the folks in immigration. He doesn't want to be known as the president who booted Justin Bieber.
