It would be quite sad if no one did washing, laundry and all common chores... Why do you always look down on such jobs? In our congregation only two did cleaning.... The rest had "normal jobs" like working in a tv station, government offices (even negiotiating specific terms with the EU in his field of occupation) and other jobs... Each job is valuable in its own way.. Oops I forgot, i live in Scandinavia and a cleaning job here is paid with some 25 dollars an hour... at least.

How many use iPads or tablets in your cong?
by stuckinarut2 ina question for those that still attend meetings.... how many use tablets or ipads in your hall?.
i did roving microphones this week, and i counted 43 people (variety of ages) out of an audience of 98!.
just curious....

That ink thing is definitely a myth. Also the emphasis on using tablets vs paper is not as environmental friendly as one might think. Computers and companies affiliated to them are responisible for 5 per cent of all pollution, whereas pollution caused by the paper industry is just a very small fraction of this. Besides, forests are renewable.

In most European countries the custody of JW parents are temporarily taken away in order to allow a blood transfusions. Most Jws are happy with that... Perhaps it is a different situation in the US?

Since when did JWs regard the medical system as being satanistic. Yes they do oppose blood transfusions. But I have never heard any JWs be like this in my three decade JW-time... However, I was a Scandinavian JW, and that might explain it.

I have never thought preaching pictures in the literature was real... Even as a JW... They are illustrations that are staged... and I guess most people do understand that...

If it had been an increase they would have stated it. When there is the same or a decrase they just compare with another figure to make it seems quite well.

Convention Season-"Saving Good Seats" & Other Embarrassing Behavior
by Darth Fader The Sequel insince it is the convention season (and i am not attending this year or ever again), and i have been seeing other posts about some of the goings on at the various ic's and rc's, i am reminded of some of the truly embarrassing behavior i have "witnessed" (pun intended) over my lifetime of being a jdub at the various conventions and assemblies.
probably the most disillusioning experience at a convention that i have ever had was one year when i volunteered to be an attendant.
all of the volunteers were asked to attend a special meeting a few months beforehand to get instructions for our duties as attendants.

it's a wide spread rumor in our organization.. but the witness elders will remind them personally that preaching is nessasery.
