Very much a nice looking building. Has some character unlike the beige architecture, or worse the fast food style.
They can't even give away mags now

Blues. I meant funeral in the general sense of remembrance. I cant remember the last time the body was present or displayed.
Nowwhat. The adjustment was barely an improvement. I really hated the: "so and so wanted me to tell you---". No he didn't. The last memorial at the hall actually had applause like a sunday talk. Tacky! The zoom messes were even worse.
A wake ( surely pagan), or celebration of life is better.
As I said, some people seem to be pimo and their last wishes reflect it. I am because of family, especially the old ones who need the delusion intact. If I am donated, stuffed, frozen; I wont b e there to witness it.

Are these pimo people? Or disappointed in the false promises?
Years ago an elderly man converted, his family stated they would not attend a memorial so the elders refused to do any service because there was no one to witness to. That really hurt his friends at the hall.
I fully intend to not have a talk. Cheese, wine, and a few memories. As stated here before, JW funerals are the worst. Be it noted that a family does not get closure without some sort of remembrance.

I'm an American and I dont know what it means.
Surveysare worded to get desired results. Seldom is there a place to explain shades of belief; you get A, B, C with no A1\2, or a compound question.
I do think there are too many background shadow people running things and too many beurocrats.
Im changing my name to None of the Above and running for president

Yes. What struck me is how close the scenario was to the paradise pictures, right down to bland smocks

This maybe should be in humor. The movie is on tv right now. The beautiful young people, chargers of fruit, unquestioning obedience, no work, background masters (GB?) Look exactly like a convention video or the water color illustrations. Right down to ignoring any research or curiosity-crumbling books.
Did Russell read HG Wells?

The old adage is taxes reduce participation in activities. Tax employment, fewer jobs, tax property, fewer property owners. The loopholes, special interests,, and underground economy are a concern. The graft is a problem too; for instance, road, fuel taxes used for bike paths

Those narrators do get annoying, thinking they are more important.
The booze thing is notable only in that you are supposed to be at meeting or service sunday morning. They pound that and that the GB are ordinary members like the rest of us. It was an older Cadillac, dolled up chevy type. He does have the mannerism of a drunk which is the core point.
