i ran into an older sister who has always been very sweet.. it was a friendly chat...yet she pushed for a reason why my family have been missing from meetings for some time.
the question was deflected, until it just had to be said: "well, there have been some troubling and disturbing issues about the society especially the way things were handled during the royal commission, as well as many other issues".. she quickly cut in and said "but why would you want to know these things?
its best not to research and look at those sort of things - so we don't get upset!".

But everyone's supposed to make THEM feel good?
Ok
i believe it's taking place as i type this.
just curious if anyone knows what's it's about.
just want to prepare myself for it in case my father should bring it up.
The persecution by the ARC?
i have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.
The one document suggests you keep a copy of the form with your Will.

Personally, if he were one of mine, I'd be embarrassed
It's in their faces and now that's something THEY have to think about.

i did not want to believe these news, i still feel it's a hoax, it can't be true!.
Well... I'm really curious as to the timeframe. If they are saying preach between 10 and say 7 and anything outside those boundaries is outside of the law, why is that so horrible? It's for their protection too!
In my borough we have a noise ordinance that mandates that lawn mowing only be done between 8 or 9 and sundown.
I'm not in Mexico but it doesn't seem so unreasonable to me.

Crap. Where's iPhones Google translator for the dumb Americans who either

i've been told by a jw friend that when her hall recently had a refurb that big changes were made to the second school.. one, a large sign has been placed on the door telling people not to use it and to sit in the main hall itself.. two,that all the chairs which used to face the large windows looking into the main hall are now side on to the window facing the wall instead.. this is because "so many people were sitting out in there!
people were finding all manner of exhuses to sit-in there and the brothers want us to all be together in the main hall!
" she said.. of course i didn't tell her what i really thought of this but seriously?
They're just trying to make it more difficult to surf the net or post to this site during the service.
More eyeballs looking over your darn shoulder with all those roaming mic dudes.
i spent couple wonderful days in napa valley and sonoma with visits to san francisco.
what hits me was the number of apathy carts in the city.
they were at powell station, embarcadero, fisherman wharf, etc.

I feel so sorry for them. They are sitting ducks now.
