  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

  it's time for me and the mrs. to get the hell outta dodge.

  recently my hall has undergone major management changes and the atmosphere is..less than ideal.

  i'm getting multiple calls a week asking to set up a time to meet, i've politely declined but these guys aren't taking a hint.

  Dear Mr Logic:

  Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes / no questions: - each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

  I would have felt a smidgin better if lil Sophia's thoughts had reflected images of children in the Sudan starving and a link to how Jesus has the answer etc and how the money could help to foster a programme of help for such-like ones in the world. But NO ! It focussed on the material JW.ORG world . Sugar Daddy's of deceit !

  In the absence of PMS issues [I am male] I used to suffer from the sudden onset of migraines- which necessitated me having to take a lot of fresh air, get to a pharmacy for medication - usually in a shopping mall - or just plain go home.

  You could try Sudoku - put a Chess app on your phone/device - use earphones and listen to Muzak - doodle - walk someone's baby in the pram / stroller [if you're female] - in my late teens back in the 70's when CA's were 2.5 days and ran until 9 pm at night we used to slip away to a corner shop that had a pinball machine and spend some time there. Also at stadium venues we used to volunteer for the overnight "guard" duty of the site and that meant we could go and sleep during the day time session - usually in a camper / caravan - which could be locked from the inside and made to look very unoccupied from the outside.

  For these and the 5 day DA's we would volunteer for kitchen duty which could get you away from your seat for entire sessions [they had the program piped into the prep area via speakers] and this also enabled us to meet le femme's as well.

  10 minute [my.nute] parts so that you cant get creative and put some really "deep" thoughts of your own into the material. And then the little piece of outline you get with the assignment is now technically a manuscript - And of course you do know that Uber-brother Assembly Overseer is sitting in his office following your every word with a copy of your outline just in case you decide to go "extremist" and put in a side-ways thought or two !

  Similarities between witnesses in WWll and witnesses under the rulership of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe

  i have just been reading a post by orphancrow/birdwomen2 under the title of .

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/270890008/did-judge-rutherford-piss-off-hitler?size=10&page=3.

  first of all i would like to thank orphancrow for his fascinating and insightful research into the jws during world war 2.. this got me thinking however of a very similar situation i heard about in zimbabwe, and what i am wanting to know if anyone can confirm or deny his account.. i was having a conversation with a black brother from zimbabwe while out in field service about the persecution the brothers would be enduring under the rulership of robert mugabe.

  The "talk" is that he has always been favourable to the JW's - whereas as his opposition peer Morgan Tsvangurai is not - I seem to remember there was a family JW connection. ??!!

  there's something that i've always wondered about yet could never truly understand.

  does anyone know why during district assemblies a prayer is done during the last day after coming back from lunch?.

  i can't quite remember if it's done other days but i believe this is done on the last day.

  Yep - its because the Talk immediately after the Sunday lunch is the Public Talk - always given by the Uber - Officer

  And if you have a winky you can reach out to be selected to give the prayer !If you are the Chairman for the PM session of course - but you can reach out to be chairman too !! Privileges !!
