I think Carla had a good idea, send her a Christmas card. That will really give the sisters something to talk about as they sit five feet away from their cart and talk about the folks in the congregation.

PROVE IT!
by minimus inthat’s my attitude toward anyone making an assertion.
i’m sick of people saying such and such is true simply because we are saying it.
i would think that those here would agree because we all have been jehovah’s witnesses.

District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium
by NikL inlast night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.
there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.
they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.

That's interesting because the kids are back in school now, so will the District Assembly now be only on the weekend? Or will all the blind followers allow their children to miss school to learn about Jehovah?

Anyone have someone move in and take over the congergation?
by rickroll ini have been in two congregations where someone moved in from the big city and took over with the attitude of the northerners when they go south, i come from where they do it right.
like bulls in china shops they remove people and do the house cleaning like the political org cult it is.

I remember a Congregation in Brooklyn a decade or two ago that had either a CO or new elder sent to them and he DFd basically everyone in the Congregation. I think it was the Spring Creek Cong.

I know I've watched footage of the Dolomites before, absolutely beautiful.
I'm also hooked on watching Jungfrau, Switzerland on YouTube, beautiful snow capped mountains like the Dolomites

Do You Think Trump Should Be Impeached?
by minimus insome democrats are zealously pushing the impeachment route to get rid of trump.
even if you don’t like him, do you support impeachment proceedings?.

Well, all of you that think not, I guess it's safe for me to say I'm glad if Obama had the same accusations against him like Trump does, since we are all common sense people here, good to here you Trump supporters say you give Obama the same break, I mean you can't say that I can get away with murder so to speak, but my neighbor can't, right?

Anyone Tried "Sous Vide" Cooking?
by Simon ini like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.
can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?
i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.

I've seen this demonstrated on one of the cooking shows, cooking a steak for an hour or so and then putting it in a pan to brown it and put some color on it (as they did on the show) doesn't make sense at all to me, just throw it in the oven with a good rub down of olive oil, salt and pepper, cut's down cooking time by about 45 minutes.

Well, like Prince, Terrence has had a few moments where his mental sanity has been questioned, so yeah, I like it when folks in the public eye that aren't wrapped too tight make it known they're a JW.

Do You Think People Have Forgotten About 9/11?
by minimus inafter all these years, it seems to me that people do not properly take note of what happened on this date in 2001. for some, it’s like nothing major happened.
for me it is a day of reflection..

If you get feeling people aren't remembering today then you don't live in New York CIty, Right now on TV here, every year they do the reading of the names and at night they have the beams of light.
I think that this is getting to the point of being too much every year the people working themselves up to tears while reading the names, you never forget the people you love no matter how they died. I wonder if all these folks that are reading the names of those lost also go to the cemetary and visit grandma and grandpa, Aunt Mary and Uncle Bill, etc, probably not.
