One big difference is the restraint that the JW's exercise in the assembly. Sure there is a lot applause at the weirdest, meanest, and dumbest things, but you don't get the shouting, the chanting, the interactivity that the politicos get to engage in.

Conventions that are out of touch with reality
by Captain Schmideo2 inwatching the news from the past few nights, i have come to the conclusion that the only convention that's crazier and more out of touch with reality than a jw convention is a us political convention.the strange-o show that is going on right now in cleveland, oh makes watching a bunker video look more sober and realistic by comparison.i have made the effort to do my civic duties as a voter, but these conventions require a devotion that is fanatical..

Remember in 1974 when the Society published "Is This Life All There Is?"
My mom immediately started giggling at that when it was released, and started humming this Peggy Lee song. -

When Disaster Strikes
by NeverAllowestobeMyself injehovah's witnesses repeatedly report that when disaster strikes they are the quickest to respond, the most organized relief agency and they provide superior support to their members and the affected community.. they make it sound like organizations such as the red cross are completely in disarray every disaster until jehovah's witnesses show up and show everyone how it's done!.
in the wake of recent disasters around the globe i would like to encourage everyone to share experiences of people showing genuine love to their neighbors, communities going the extra mile and organizations doing brilliant work..

Here is an article about bragging about how special you are for helping out, while being very hypocritical in other respects;
https://nondoc.com/2016/04/27/oklahoma-standard-a-myth/
"... bragging about helping out in the aftermath of an atrocity is the worst kind of smugness. It’s like bragging about how much you love your kids. You know who else bands together and performs mass acts of kindness and selflessness in the wake of disasters? Everyone, everywhere." -

Incognito, you are absolutely correct, I saw it happen to a friend of mine. They tried to force him into having the relief committee rebuild his house after a tornado, with the full expectation that he would turn over his check. And when he declined, he was told he was too materialistic, or some such nonsense.
If there was ever a CO that I could get the chance to kick in the gonads so hard, he'd be gargling them, it would be Fred Kua.

Watching the students line up at ceremony, I saw a man who looked about my age, who was getting his diploma. I was proud for him and his achievement, and bit jealous that he could make the time to get it done. Best wishes to you, sir!
