  Extremely posh place to have an assembly.

  Strollers at DC

  by InquiryMan in

  2. beliefs

  if i understand it correctly, strollers are not allowed at us conventions.. in sweden, a letter was written to the congregation, introducing this new rule.

  however, quite a few families wrote letters to the society,.

  asking if they wanted families with children to attend the assemblies or not... it was stated that they would not go unless strollers were allowed.. the society pulled back, allowing strollers in designated areas.. in norway, they didn t even bother to introduce the rule in the first place... .

  People who are straight can live their lives without feeling they might have to adjust themselves to the majority etc.

  It is not a valic comparison.

  However, it would be interesting to know how JWs react to the videos themselves...

  Interestingly, some JWs – when seeing the video on the web before it was released on the conventions – vehemently claimed that the video was a fake video made by apostate JWs to slander the witnesses....

  I am not happy as such. I just report on whats going on. Of course i am also concerned on what implications this might have on children of JWs that might be the cause of harassment due to this wide exposure...

  It is however, interesting to see how it catches on more on more...

  Now the bishop voices her concern on the matter:

  Yesterday, a close to 4 minute part of a nationwide afternoon radioshow gave the DVD attention. Various clips from the dvd was aired, interwoven with interviews with leading child psychiatrists and also an ex-witness was interviews. JWs declined the offer to give a comment, but a spokesman from JW was quoted on previous statements given to newspapers.
