Very true, it's basically the EXACT SAME meeting

I'd say it's even longer because it is preceded by Digging for Spiritual Gems (old Bible Highlights), and a bible reading. So they had 4 parts, now there's 5; unless no counsel is given to the brother doing the reading, I guess that makes more sense really.
in my mind i see this as a very real situation developing rapidly world wide as these child molestation pay out become public knowledge and can no longer be denied or kept secret from the r&f.
pretty soon the governing body will be the but of many jokes at headquarters and abroad.
they are being caught red handed while robbing the cookie jar.

I still say a clandestine fifth column scenario is a strong possibility.
For example, look at what happened to the LDC project. It got completely shut down. How? The RBC was a closed circuit of individuals in the US branch who acted relatively independent from oversight. Brooklyn took this fringe-lengthening activity away, so they reacted in a passive-aggressive manner, effectively disabling the new arrangement.
What's to stop a group of people, serving in let's say the Service/Writing/Personnel committees, from doing something even more intentional and thought-out? Because they desire, not reformation, but destruction? Possibly their plans are already in motion, and you are beginning to see the effects . . .

i went for the kh today for personal reasons.
it was pretty dumb, but not horrible.
anyway the speaker used a terrible, but accurate illustration in his gb approved outline.
first of all; i must admit that i'm not a huge fan of putting people in boxes like this, it is not an exact science.
but i still think the data can be quite interesting and i intend to collect it and share it in a structured way with you guys.
so without future ado here are the details.. link to test: .
truthseeker100, I think this is always a risk, especially with certain types that rely on outside consultation/influence to determine the best answer. I always have my extroverted sensing friends take one or more tests, just to confirm, or see if they come back a different type because they felt different that day.
One good test I always have people take is found here: http://similarminds.com/embj.html That one kinda is longer, and asks some of the same questions multiple times and in different ways.

watchtower marketing incentive rewards for young single baptized males in the 0rganization.. .
the face of the photobombing brother in the background says it all.
like a child in a candy shop.
I didn't see anything like these women running around at my RC. All I saw was a bunch of strung out, single 45yr old sisters running to get seats, and some idiotic little 15yr olds who were forced to be there. I guess I was too busy. Oh well.
I wouldn't be surprised if these chicks were all on the edge, had worldly boyfriends, and are just waiting for the right moment to get out or start a quick fade.
this is a crappy letter from the watchtower.
i'm only posting it to show how micro-managers these fools are.
and at the end, they say: "we should avoid making specific rules about somewhat technical matters".

What a bitch. Comments are the most difficult thing to adjust for. You literally need to have your hands on the mixer at all times during commenting to compensate for everyone's speaking style/volume. She should be glad I wasn't there in that meeting; her husband would have beat her face that night.

hahaha, so true
BTW, your dB settings seem a little on the high side to me.
You may get above this if a brother gets loud, or below if he talks quietly. The goal is to have these as averages, to allow for modulation. My proximity to Bethel also induces the need for that ridiculous Knorr-era 60's sound of blaring speakerphones, hence the settings
