G'day Murray
I was lucky, we did not have the sandwich boards, just hour after hour in the hot blazing sun offering the latest mags to uninterested people. That was back in the time that you counted only the time spent in 'fair dinkum' witnessing.
O, to go back to the old days......

Different Types of Witnessing
by drahcir yarrum ini went to a district assembly in omaha back in the 1970's and got roped into doing street witnessing wearing one of those sandwich boards.
i felt like a complete idiot, but was talked into it by a jw girl i liked at the time.
anyway, i was wondering if anyone else here ever did this.

UN stuff
by why144000 ini have been watching the wt/un issue unfold.
while i am personally disappointed with the limp response from the 'spindoctors' from the society i believe that we are flogging a dead horse.
many of the people who would leave the society over this issue are already at a stage that they only need the 'straw to break the camels back'.

I have been watching the WT/UN issue unfold. While I am personally disappointed with the limp response from the 'spindoctors' from the society I believe that we are flogging a dead horse. Many of the people who would leave the society over this issue are already at a stage that they only need the 'straw to break the camels back'. The rank and file would, at all costs support 'mother' and see the attention given to the UN issue as another reason to hold firm against the apostates. They usually see the people leaving as part of a sifting work, a la 1975. They were not serving for the right reason in the first place.
I am not supporting the society in this issue but I wonder what it will take to change their viewpoint?
The more we discuss this issue the more we ensure that it is viewed as 'apostate trash'

Judah Schroeder and the Helsinki Kommission!
by Kent inpressrelease from bellona usa .
congressional briefing .
helsinki commission joins russian parliamentarian in human rights, nikitin debate.

Judah Schroeder is not a member of the Helsinki Commission. If you look there is a comma between the helsinki commission and others who are involved. Having said that, it is highly questionable that any member of the Society should be involved with the 'world' in this way.
I am not supporting the society in this situation however I believe that making statements that representatives of the society are members of such organisations weakens the real arguments.

Do you think that the meeting content was changed due to current events? Was it just another stir up to keep the faithful on edge? What was the real reason for the meeting?

I am looking for assistance. I know that after Rutherford (Ratherflawed?) died the officials in San Diego refused requests to have him buried at either Beth Sarim or Beth Shan. He was finally laid to rest(?) at the cemetary near WBBR on Staten Island. What was the name of the cemetary? Is it still around or are people dancing on his grave? I remember that the book by Barbara Grizaldi (??) mentioned the name of the cemetary but I can not find my copy of the book.
Anyone out there able to help?

I have read the summary on a couple of days of the DC. I am interested if anyone has more specific information on the changes to the Ministry School. Will the Bible reading stay in its present format? If there is no council slip (as noted by some posters)how can it be called a school? My DC is some way off and I will be attending so please, Fred, dont be half smart and say 'why dont you go and find out'
