  So, 60 Years Ago

  by titch in

  2. experiences

  so, folks, 60 years ago, starting on september 1st, i believe, we, local witnesses in southern california, had the "privilege" of attending the "around the world assembly", at, of all places, the rose bowl, in pasadena.

  (i think that it was an 8-day assembly) i was 9 years old then, almost ready to start 4th grade.

  so, was anyone else, on this site, at that assembly?

  It is years ago my wife and I attended a convention. We are POMO and sometimes jw family "encourage" us to visit. But we won't. Do we miss it? No.

  We don't miss the organization. The congregation. The hamster carrousel of jw life. The repeating, indoctrination.

  The false kind of friendship and attention of fellow jw's.

  But beeing a kid it was something special I remember. Some kind of a journey. But later on my feeling was that something was not right with the big crowds and mass applause.

  Sagely advice of a CO

  by Vidqun in

  1. social
  2. humour

  “a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.

  he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.

  he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….

  If nobody is talking to you and nobody is there, why not taking the chart and do some other things?!?
