the twickenham post made me think of this.
i have a few jw family members on facebook and being summertime, their pics of the convention have shown up in my fb feed.
along with their comments about "i wished it would never end" or "what a glorious weekend".
Memories are working, camaraderie with some brothers. I actually enjoyed attendant IF could help someone, not just count empty seats.
The only talks I remenber was old Freddy opining about time travel, and a couple times someone went off script and imitated a tent revivalits ( everyone loved it without realizing it was babylonish) ( same way nobody noticed Lett being nuts)
I fondly remember the year I skipped and took a road trip!
here are some areas that i have found:.
not only is watchtower eschatology offbase, which is not critical, but so is watchtower soteriology … which is critical.
the bible says not to put trust in men who cannot save.
The teaching is jehova is unchangeable but they constantly change what He supposedly said
jehovah’s witnesses open historic museum in edo .. https://punchng.com/jehovahs-witnesses-open-historic-museum-in-edo/.
History is written by the victor.
The assembly hall has the displays of local history. Divine Plan book is opened to the foldout pyramid proof for 1914.🤔
new wt october 2023....first an article remembering 1923....they make changes, the had a "prayer, praise and testimony weekly meeting".. after an study article about obey, specially paragraph 18.. i have a wild guess, next year, just one weekly meeting for the borg..
The 15 minute break was to go to the candy store next door. If course that was when we had a hodge podge of self built and repurposeded halls, nowthey are remote from added attractions.
To keep people in they need reasonable attire standards and a few social events. And no droning meetings; WT could be 15 minutes, Sunday sermon 15 minutes. Announcements could be put on JW Publisher where they belong to start with. I think tge "safety" meeting for toilet scrubbing takes 15 minutes, and wear a reflective vest and hard hat.
Add internal ministry instead of policing

Oh yes. A kind loving clean organization with severe sanctions on any leader who abuses hus power. Add training and vetting and humanity. I wish someone could have a disclosed settlement.
We men know the darker id we possess. Most of us know how to suppress the darker thoughts.
Plagiarized from themselves to boot. It took me 5 mjnutes to " write" all the talks looking at the program. Of course they bloviate. Change the unnamed african country to nazi Germany or soviet or eastern Europe, same (massaged) story.
Interesting to note comments that the deleted videos were included in a few instances. Heads will roll.
i have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.
on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".
also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.
We disabled ignored people don't have a badge. No visits, phone calls (except time).

Longhair
maybe he was a masher. I notice attractive women
Metal detectors? Refer to my post about weapons and beards
i noted the little sign by the doors.
that said, they had 3 people tagging my beard, but a dressed shaved person would not be noticed.
a jacket is well suited to covering a gun butt, i know.

the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.
.
TD, used by Spsnish? Or obligation on deals made years in advance. Locally there are 2 assemblies held 100 miles from the assembly hall, but circuit assemblies draw assignments from 3-400 miles.
