Not done to parliamentary procedures in most cases. There are laws about resolutions that are ignored. Kind of a kangaroo vote. I knew one old time who commented on the waste of time because everyone just followed along

Last Thursday's Meeting in Elmira, On
by newsheep ini had gotten a phone call from a brother who was really upset.
he said there was a resolution passed that everyone is in agreement to the selling of the elmira hall.
the strange thing is at the congregation picnic an elder told him that a few years ago the deed to the hall was signed over to the org.

Did you ever thought this?
by Theonlyoneleft inso.. you are a jw or studying, living your life and doing your bit, feverish of spreading the good news to everyone that will listen!.
you prep yourself for meetings, doing your ministry and applying all that there is into your daily life.. so....i have a question... you know... my clogs.
when you where completely in the religion, did you ever think about the impact of your way of life and religion towards others, specially those that lived around you such as good friends or family members that didn’t studied?

I did go to weddings, funerals, even church bazaars. The line was drawn at participating

Easy choice. Put on jeans and go to work with friends or put on a necktie and knock on doors accompanied by who knows

Well written, scathing article that summarises first 3 days of RC hearing.
by Pants of Righteousness inthere's been quite a number newspaper articles quoted over the past week, but i would recommend this as a good summary of the first three days of the royal commission hearing in australia - complete with some scathing commentary.. apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but have not seen this posted previously.. https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-crime/2015/08/01/royal-commission-examines-jehovah-witnesses-cover/14383512002194.
just one thing that is not quite right is that the article refers to joe bello as a narrogin elder.
the assualts took place while the victim was part of the narrogin congregation.

Do You Think Trump Bares Any Responsibility For The Mass Shootings Occuring?

Should we put children with their families in open campuses with unvetted young males?
Remember the big earthquakes in Italy and other places? The relief effort was overwhelmed so people lived in tents or less for months. Same for the REAL refugees in the middle east and Africa
Nobody ever said to 8gnore the others who sneak in or overstay. But it is a fact that a predominate number come across the mexican border.
No one on here has proposed closing the border, vetting those already here and legalizing them. When I am dictator that is what I will do. LOL. And only people I like can have guns

Pete. If dems want the border secured why do they want open borders. Cant have both. As for compassionate, the funding for detention is not adequate, lots of citizens are separated from kids when they go to army, jail. You name it.
The wall may be ineffective but ALL nations have walls, sometimes to keep people in.
Obama may well be a charming speaker, but to me he is a snake oil salesman, Trump is more a blunt doctor who speaks his mind.

JW Broadcast For August
by APieceOfShitNamedTate inokay i'll admit that what i'm about to ask is a little silly.
this is the kind of stuff that crosses over into tinfoil hat territory, but you can't help but notice it.. did anyone else see gary breaux in this month's broadcast doing that weird "hand diamond" thing over his bible?
he was also wearing a pinky ring.

They are in a secret club. There are no minutes published of GB meetings. For all we know they have a scotch then play paper rock scissors. Or more likely try to read the mood and discuss how to weasel out of the last failed idea

Pinky rings when I looked them up denote membership in a group most often. Maybe a magic ring for the GB? one thing is they will never tell us, and any explanation will be a lie

This Year's "Love" Conventions -- The JW Version of "Love-In"
by Room 215 inreports from the locals who attending the recent "love never fails" convention reported little-to-no references to the more brutal jw doctrines, i.e.
no mentions of the blood ban, no mothers refusing to take phone calls from her estranged daughter, no bunkers, etc.... just lots of "warm and fuzzy" videos featuring loads of hugging and tears at places across the globe.
are they getting soft?

Teach people how to wash hands, brush teeth. Didnt provide soap or toothbrushes though. I am glad there was no international close, I dont think I could stand the hype
