"Imitate Jehovah" CA Actually Didn't Have That Theme At All
by JW_Rogue injust got back from "imitate jehovah" ca and noticed that the theme was never really used at all.
all the talks were about family, preaching and getting along with others in the hall.
they didn't once go over an account of how jehovah acted in the past and how we should imitate that action.

I've only heard them referred to as "one day assembly". I believe they dropped the circuit stuff. -

How to survive an assembly
by BlackWolf inhey i was just wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to keep my brain occupied while i'm at an assembly tommorow.
maybe besides tallying the number of times they say jehovah and jesus or counting how many people are wearing red.
i want to keep myself from going insane or having some kind of panic attack lol.

It's so easy to pass the time these days. I like to do the brain games from dictionary.com and I always have reading material downloaded on my tablet. Then don't forget to take plenty of breaks and go outside and walk around.

@TTAT2 I think it starts at 10:13
In the late 70's early 80's there was a very small window where the society seemed to be a little more moderate. This is when they started to say that "sacred service" included doing good works. I remember this quite clearly because It was emphazied at the pioneer school.
This use of "sacred service" didin't last very long. I would say 1 year or 2 and then they went back to teaching that sacred service referred only to spiritual aspects of the worship such as meeting, commenting and service.
Now they are back at it. This time they are doing it for different reasons. No doubt, they are receiving critisism over their charitable status and a bigger reason is that the preaching work is really dying, hours are diminishing and they are coming up with creative ways of keeping the momentum going.
I wonder if they will have a column on the service report for how many good deed done in a month.

Do they notice who no longer gives donations?
by onightdivine inbecause i haven't put in a single dime for over a year now in the box at the kh.
the usual custom is to put money in there right after the meetings.
but heck, i already spend so much in car fuel just to attend - i don't care really if the gb starves and dies.. oops.. anyway, do the elders take note who's donating and who's not?.

We haven't put in a penny since 2002. I am sure the've noticed through the years because we used to put checks in and asked for tax receipts at the end of the year.
They have a general idea who contributes what. -

Child Discipline, new article to address Jackson's Royal Commission testimony
by jwfacts ini have published a new article at watchtower corporal punishment, as a response to the testimony that geoff jackson gave at the royal commission.
it includes the relevant part of the transcript, along with a string of watchtower quotes to show that what he presented was not accurate, and that watchtower translates rod as a literal implement to hit children with.
