  Did you participate in a Drama?

  i am bringing this up because even it was a lot of work, for the majority of the friends this was a rewarding experience.

  camaraderie, joking, costumes, props and when the time came the celebrity status of being in the drama.. back in the 50s and 60s, conventions could be as long as 8 days and from about 1966 the dramas became an integral part of the program.

  we had one per day and the brothers looked forward to their presentation.

  A common feeling "it was fun".

  Conclusion, a JW is not entitled to any "fun" whatsoever.

  Acting in a drama was "heavy".

  
  

  Directing one was like getting to the "peak of Everest".

  Sadly now replaced by yet another video. The dubs miss the live dramas, I hear their grumbles....

  I share your opinion

  george cook, omg, george f'ing cook, whattttt!.

  caption: elder george cook (right), one of the nine elders of the small 90-person congregation, said prince regularly ‘witnessed’ alone in the community and in groups.

  he was very detail oriented and very eccentric.

  I saw a case where on weekends some brothers were rehearsing for a drama and CO decided to have a pre circuit assembly meeting at the same time, he was very upset that the brothers were not going to be present at his meeting and threatened to remove them from their Circuit privileges. One of them called Bethel and the outcome was that the drama was like a one time teaching assignment and had priority over the routine circuit duties. One of the few times that a CO "lost".

  I do remember a similar mishap with the sound at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, it took about 15 minutes to restore the system; the speaker sat very quiet at the stage and I think that the last name of the brother in charge of sound was Tabbert. I was not present but the experience was related to me.

  I was curious about Joyce Holden and found this information regarding her:

  5 August 58	marries David P. Mannhalter. He will become an industrial real estate broker.
  April 64	she and Mannhalter are still members of Jehovah’s Witnesses and knock on front doors to deliver their sermon. "Christ went from city to city," she says, "from door to door, preaching his way."
  08	she and her husband of fifty years reside in California

  Fidel Castro and the WT

  i am going to engage on a trip to the past and share with you some of the matters that marked the beginning of the jws persecution in cuba.

  you will be surprised that the pattern that was followed is very similar to what happened in other dictatorial countries.. in the cuban case, i am going to surprise you and tell you that like what happened with hitler; the wt was partially responsible for their clash and confrontation with the cuban government.

  during the early 60s the revolution was fighting for survival and they were willing and ready to demolish any perceived enemy to their cause.. a prime example was their war against the catholic church that was the most influential religious entity in the country; it took the supreme leader only a few public discourses to send the vast majority of clergy packing and back to their country, in this case spain.. the jehovah’s witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a us based religion and an easy target to connect them with the cia.

  Even here in USA the Watchtower was never a religion and for years the JWs went from house to house preaching that fact.
