Catch -- my congregation was assigned to the 300 level.
Is the assigning of seats something new? As teenagers ( a couple of years ago) we were always intentionally vague about our seating locations when nosey 'friends' wanted to keep track of us. This allowed us to leave during the sessions to attend to essential tasks such as getting the car washed.

I have a great idea. Lets fully enforce our existing gun laws, using the maximum sentences and see how this affects violent crime before trying to take guns from law abiding citizens.

Do some of us need to adjust our attitude?
Who among us could object to spending eternity smiling at bountiful baskets of fruit as lambs and lions frolic in our midst?
i was shocked when i read info on the early views of the jw's toward blacks.
read the website "watch the tower/blacks and the watchtower.".
here is just a sampling: .
There is almost not a single organization in the US or Western world that did not have similar or same views.
Did those other organizations claim to have direct contact with God?

Were these mans views or did God become politically correct?
was it being able to join the theocratic ministry school?
being a regular pioneer?
"handling microphones"?
Now I don't want people to think I consider myself better then them and in the spirit of humility I should keep this to myself but I did, at one time, have the privlege of handling the mikes.
with all your honor and dignity what would you do?.
