What Do You Think About Organized Sit Ins That Are Disruptive?
by minimus inmarches, sit ins, traffic blocking is the new normal for people to demonstrate.
they block highways, state buildings and roadways.
they may even get arrested but invariably get turned loose by the courts.. i think it’s disgraceful to demonstrate this way.

Don't forget we scared old white men are the hippie generation. We learned about changing the world, then found where that really led.

Used to be friday. As a not totally in single male that conflicted with recreation. Then with shared halls it moved to tuesday, Wednesday, thursday.
I hated the late hours because of work. Then you would get windbags who ran over and gave 6 minute prayers.
Remember the awake articles about children needing a set schedule and to be in bed by 8? All they learned was to hate meeting
If you can read at 6th grade level everything is right there on the tablet so there is no studying. Worst part is the bible study with 5 minutes material but they use e every bit of if their 30

'Experiences(tm)'! Made up or totally true??
by punkofnice inat one assembly(tm), i was asked to relate an 'experience(tm)' which i did.
however, during rehearsals, the geezer in charge elder or co or some such title, told me that i shouldn't tell it the way it was.
i did a 're-enactment(tm)' with another 'brother(tm)'.

I love John denver stories. Like he was the only singer/actor who ever disliked witnesses? Bet J carson wasnt a fan either. I thought camermen had to take extra education and couldn't turn down evening work .

If they check anything it is to make sure the locals don't know the true version

Not training speakers/teachers any more?
by eyeslice2 innot having attended any meetings since about 2001, for reasons of safety (sounds a bit dramatic but i don't like my wife being out on her own late at night where we live now), i have started accompanying her to the mid-week meeting.. when i was young, the ministry school and service meeting were central to training brothers to take the lead.
you were assigned instruction talks, then if you cut it, you moved pretty rapidly to public talks - a full 55 mins at the time.
i was just 18 years old when i gave my first public talk and this was a first step to moving rapidly through the ranks.

Waton; not even orchestrated by local elders, mom calls the shots they just nod yes
Tech; only good thing about reading is you do not have a householder, and I am a good reader so do not even have to do any more than find the start and stop places

by The Fall Guy in...that their web site is the most translated in the world.. https://www.tomedes.com/translator-hub/most-translated-website.php.

you can fool some of the people some of the time...there are lies, damned lies, and statistics!.

Those circulated magazines were really in closets waiting for the trash. The count always was for how many printed, not actually placed and read
