every one of us who attended the kingdom hall, must have went through this at some time, and noticed things you were not supposed to do, even though it wasn't wrong.
the biggie at our hall was do not sit in the back row, i always did, what was the deal on that, why put chairs there.
- don't back you car in, someone would go out and check this nightly, ???.
Young people must not sit together. I remember 4 visiting young people came into the hall one Sunday and sat together. The PO interrupted his talk and had them rearrange their seating.
I would've went and found another seat in the pub next door!

Edited to add:
One of my friends actually done this at the '95 convention. I had to virtually carry her back to the coach because of how much she had drunk!
i'm going to my brothers birthday party in september, and the dress code is the 70s.
i'm a bit stuck on where the best place to get hold of 70s clothes, and what sort of things do you recomend?
i fancy wearing a pair of platforms as i'm not too tall, but how easy are they to walk in after a few drinks?

Blunkett ‘buy a shorter jail sentence’ under fire
Plans to let wealthy criminals compensate their victims in return for shorter sentences have been likened to Saudi Arabia’s “blood money” system.
Home secretary David Blunkett hopes the idea will ease pressure of the governments criminal injuries compensation scheme, which pays out £160 million a year and costs £24 million a year to run with another £6 million on appeals.
Mr Blunkett revealed his plan to Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott in a letter, which was revealed to the Daily Mirror.
In it, the Home Secretary says: “I hope to…. Secure money from a range of sources, including getting more from offenders as other countries do.”
He talks of “allowing an offer of compensation to a victim to be taken into account as part of the sentencing process.”
It adds: “The precise way in which proposals would work is being worked up with relevant officials in the Home Office and the Department for Constitutional Affairs.”
The letter concludes: “The Prime Minister has seen these proposals.”
In Saudi Arabia, families of victims decide how much to demand from villains in return for shorter sentences.
Civil Servants in Whitehall are dubbing Mr Blunketts plan “blood money”, and say it goes too far.
Last night Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Simon Hughs warned of the “dangers” of allowing the rich to buy themselves out of punishment.
He said: “Reducing Prison numbers and punishing less offenders effectively without locking them up are both common sense.
“But the criminal justice system will not have public confidence if money allows you to buy a ‘get out of jail free’ card when poorer people will have to stay banged up.”
Part of Mr Blunketts plan – to exclude some public sector workers from the Criminal Injuries Compensation – would put him on a collision course with the unions.
His letter refers to “the removal from the scheme of workers injured in the course of duty.
“This affects some public sector workers and my officials will liase with other departments to see if we can establish feasible alternatives.”
Last night the Home Office said: “This is a leaked document and we are not prepared to comment.”

The thing is, if someone does manage one day to take a photo of an alien, no-one will believe it is real anyway.
Especially if when compared to the fence and fir tree on the photos they only look 6in tall!!

I think these are the missing photo's from when me and Qwerty got lost in Cheddar Gorge after a night on the beer..... They're too good quality to be real, would they really of posed to have a series of photo's taken, waiting to get lighting right, correct positioning ect?

when a young jw teen ( 13-16) disassociates themselves, or is disfellowshipped, will the parents kick them out of the house?
or are they required to let them stay?
For a teenager living at home I would definitely recomend fading rather than DF/DA. It would depend on how close you and your family are, and how strong spiritually they are. Have you discussed this with them? If you talked about it with them, and they were really unhappy about the situation(And they probably will be), Would sitting in a hall for a few hours a week until your old enough/financially able to have your own place be too much if it stopped them nagging you about it. I would tell them how you feel, follow the house rules by attending meetings if they say you have too, but not do any other things as a witness.

i would very much like a copy of this book.
does anyone have one they would be willing to part with?
i would pay for your trouble and for shipping... .
Could you not just write to the society and ask for a copy? If you are not known as an apostate, you could just say you want to give your children an upbringing in christian matters, and you heard about the book from a work colleage. Should bring a witness running to your door with a copy thinking they're going to get a study, only to find the door shutting once you get your book.

I've never really thought about this, Good post.
