give me a break. The reason why they are mentioned in the same context in this meeting is that they have been victims of attacks in the same country.
Thus it it is logical to present those issues at the same meeting.

This is at the assembly halls as far as i understand, not the local kingdom halls?
so the setting is somewhat different.

How come American ex-Jws react so strongly to this?
It has been a method of giving in Europe for years/decade(s).
Now they´re starting to implement the chip in cards in the US.
In my area we had a test programme starting using them in the early 80s....

My Old KH in the News - "Vicar fury at new home for Jehovahs"
by cofty inmy old kingdom hall at berwick-on-tweed has finally been sold to an art dealer after being on the market for a couple of years.. this week they were granted planning permission for a quick build on a site in a village just outside the town.
"rev matthew knox, vicar of tweedmouth and priest in charge of st peters church in scremerston, argued the plan should be turned down because it is not a place of christian worship as stated in the application.".
the story is the front page headline today in my local paper, the berwick advertiser.. here is a couple of gems from the article... "it is not part of churches together in berwick, it has its own translation of the bible and to my knowledge discourages independent thinking with the real threat of members being shunned by all other members if they dispute their governing bodys official doctrine.".

The Kingdom hall looked rather spooky in a way ...

My Father passed away during the night

Your eulogy was written in a beautiful and tender way, and respectful way. It brought tears to my eyes. I hope the funeral will be of comfort to you and that your former friends will behave gracefully.
When I attended my grandmothers funeral, several sisters gave me hugs and the brother giving the talk and his wife stopped talking to me for several minutes. The former fellow elders though passed me without even giving me a glance of sympathy. Good and "bad" people everywhere.
Take care and hope you and your mother will have some contact even in the time to come.
Regards from the other side of the world.

Strange WT contradictions and backpeddling
by TR inbeth sarim:.
beth sarim was built in 1929 as a proof that the resurrection would soon take place.
(salvation, p. 311).

I am a bit surprised that Beth Sarim seems sometimes to be new knowledge of former JWs...
It is after all acknowledged in the Proclaimer book and also mentioned in articles from time to time...
also the Pyramidology of Russel´s time is mentioned in the Proclaimer book, as well as the usage of cross and celebration of christmas.
