Anyone can attend, especially if you look like a dub. If you are dressed in jeans or a short skirt or have a beard, then you'd probably be considered a study of someone. Sometimes when they release publications, you have to show your blood card to get one but that doesn't happen too often.

Protesting at the District Convention
by TweetieBird in

i heard through the grapevine that someone took out a permit to protest at the upcoming district convention in san diego.

i can remember years ago (when still a believing dub) seeing protesters at the convention and always thought to myself, "what poor deluded souls.

" all it did was confirm to me how thankful i was to know the truth and how sad that satan had gotten to them.

All it did was confirm to me how thankful I was to know the truth and how sad that Satan had gotten to them. It didn't do anything to change my beliefs. So it got me to wondering, why protest if all it is going to do is make people more convinced that "we are living in the last days" and that "Satan is really working overtime"? Any thoughts? Oh, by the way if anyone here is going to protest, I'll try to slip you the "peace sign" as I'm walking in.

Why should Kingdom Hall sales proceeds go to the Watchtower?
by VM44 in

suppose a whole congregation decides it has had enough of the watchtower.

suppose also that they have paid for their own kingdom hall and the mortgage is paid off in full.. why should they not be free to rename the kh to some other name, or, if they want to, sell it and keep the money?.

legally, why should the watchtower think it has a claim on the kingdom hall property?

I know the Bonham, TX deal was almost 20 years ago, but does anyone know what happened to the 3 that got disfellowshipped? Someone mentioned that it would be interesting to see how Ralph Deal was able to get a whole congregation behind him. Not that far-fetched if everyone is related to one another, which happens quite a bit in the borg, especially the elder/ms body. I've been in congregations where it could have been named "Joe Blow's congregation" cause everyone (that mattered) was related to Joe Blow.

It was, by far, the most painful hour and 5 minutes of my life. Our bookstudy conductor feels the need to get everyone's comment on every single paragraph.

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but a bethel source has mentioned that the organization is getting cleaned out. The sense was that something big was going on but I heard this from a third source so don't know how accurate. I may have more information in a few weeks. I asked the third party if they were going to be cleaning out Bethel but they didn't know.

i love this site.

you learn something new everyday.

another thread caused me to do a search on beth-sarim and i stumbled across a great article that farkel wrote.

Thanks, Blondie for putting the link. For some reason my computer won't do it automatically. I have an apple so that may be why or I'm just too challenged to figure it out. Thanks, Lady Lee for putting the link to Farkel's work. I always enjoy reading his stuff.
