I may have missed it in the ongoing dialog, but when does the OP and his or her supporters suspect that this global flood took place? Are they supporting the WT/young earth/creationists time frame of around 2370BC(E)?

Proof of Noah's Flood - Presently watching a Documentary about Europe & the Ice Age
by *lost* infirst time i ever heard anyone say there was 'proof' of noah's flood.. very interesting,.
showed a trawler, where the team dredges regularly in the north sea - for animal bones, massive land animal bones, mammoths.. he said, originally, the bones were sent for analysis, and the dr stated, they were proof of noah's flood.. the north sea area was a land mass of dry grazing lands.
and it was very similar to africa.. many bones were found in london, of lions, hippos, etc ... when they were digging out the underground.. .

No more district assemblies in Tri-Cities. News article
by Indian Larry infor years the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses has held a regional convention in the tri-cities, attracting about 16,000 of the faithful who spend an estimated $8.6 million while in town.. .
but they won't be coming in 2014.. "what they told me is the decision has been made nationally to downsize the number of conventions from 400 to 100. they're simply consolidating," said kris watkins, president and ceo of the tri-cities visitor & convention bureau in kennewick.. .

Or maybe they will just go to a DC via video hookup. Just show up at the KH. Of course, a pre-determined charge to help offset the costs would be involved. All in favor? All opposed? That's what i thought.... Soon all KH's with video projectors will also have CC/debit machines in the lobby (for your convenience).

The more time I spend with "worldly people" the more I realize...
by confusedandalone in... that they actually have more of a desire to get to knoww you then jehovah's witnesses.
for years at the kingdom hall although i was an elder everyone "knew of me" but no one knew me.
i realized that i never really had a friend who knew anything about me as a person or my background.

This is exactly why I am inviting as many of our "worldy" neighbors over as possible. My wife has a great time (she is very sociable) and we don't have to sing any damn songs from the Kingdom Melodies songbook.

I'm partial to a big bowl of fresh raspberries in plain yogurt. Watermelon is also a nice treat.

Brothers and Sisters, shouldn't we check what direction the FDS/GB has provided on this matter? Surely, the life-giving water that Jesus spoke about would not be adulterated with flouride or chlorine. I think we need a QFR article from sd7 to settle the matter once and for all.

Vidiot: perhaps it could be the next assignment for the recent poster (snapdragon?) who reversed witnessed to the mother and daughter team at one of the mobile cart displays about the 69 Awake? Captive audience. I wonder what instructions they have regarding what to do if a video-recorder shows up?
They have instructions for everything else.

A flood of abuse cases might eventually be the undoing of the corporation, but I think when or if that occurs they will just play the persecution card and say they are going underground (perhaps literally at new HQ). The everyday dub doesn't know anything about this issue. Try asking any of them about the Conti case. It is a classic example of the 'I' in BITE. They control the 'I'nfomation most dubs are exposed to. Having said that, I do think it will have a positive effect on those partially-awakened ones sitting on the fence who are internet aware, particularly the younger ones. I hope it gets some press.

Couple of observations:
First: the guy is not a good speaker (or even reader) although he probably thinks that he is. What makes it worse is that he sounds like he is actually enjoying himself (as in: I am so clever and witty! He said - this has not been the most warm and fuzzy talk of the convention; really?).
Second: loved the point he made at 4:04 - Our relationship (with JHVH) is between us and JHVH alone. Again, really? I thought we couldn't have a relationship with JHVH apart from his appointed channel (GB). It seems to me they have inserted themselves into the equation.
Third: is every talk from now on just going to be some eager beaver reading from a bullet list of 3 things to do, 3 things not to do? It seemd like every talk on the convention at the DC was written by someone who just discovered PowerPoint. No sentences with more than 10 words. Maybe they should just print out the outlines to save the poor people taking notes some ink.
Might try to get the wife to watch it (if I feel brave) as this is one of the few areas regarding WT doctrine where I know she isn't totally on board.

Run away. Quickly, while there is still time. Lots of people want to help others. This is not the way.
