the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.
the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.
i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.
Can you imagine if they still had the 7 or 8 day marathons now? Went on until 9 at night sometimes. If Knorr was pontificating he knew noting of staying on time and droned on and on.
Some dubs came to my house just as I was heading out and left an invite to the Kissimmee (Orlando) one this weekend. They looked like bums and didn't speak as I got in my SUV. Weird
i have been following a number of posts discussing the august watchtower study magazine.
i really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the annual meeting.
here's why.. the august watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release.
Could it be that they are rewriting the entire article(s) in question?

episode 1 of jesus christ series set for release at gfl memorial gardens june 14 – 16th.
in new south wales, australia, there exist replicas of regions once visited by the most notable prophet who ever lived.
memory from long ago: my old mate from high school lived next door to a jw and was often "treated" to the latest jw literature.
when the "you can live forever in paradise on earth"* book came out, this neighbour waxed lyrical about how good this book was and how powerful the message was.
he acted really keen about it, like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Have the dubs actually published any new books other than fluff books? The last book releases I see are in 2022.
Do the rank and file really read stuff?
i get a few good laughs from the ex-jw facebook site: " ex jw humor will set you free".. i was laughing over dinner with 3rd gen over this post tonight: "question for the audience: i was driving around today and it hit me...there are big falsehoods (armageddon etc.
) that we were told, but also ridiculous falsehoods.
what is your favorite ridiculous falsehoods?
Turning one scripture (Matt 24:45) into an entire belief system and thereby setting up the GB as some type of royalty.
Remember when they applied this to the entire 144,000 still on earth?
hello all.. i could use some help identifying the title of a wt book that i read back in the early 90's.
it was an older book when i read it.
i wish that i could recall more than i do.
Published in 1959. It had a folksy narrative weaved throughout to cover some dub history.
i’m just curious what you think.
this is in its draft stages.
so excuse the mistakes and grammar.
They'll scan it and add it to a digital file under your name and forget it. They aren't interested and like the folks in the field will slam the proverbial door in your face.
i’m hearing paraphrasing like “we just don’t know” .
is this regarding 1914?
or micheal the arch angel?.
a department in bethel wants to try to make money from regional conventions by asking local hotels if they will give a special rate and a coupon code to give to jws.. .
they should just keep it simple and not be greedy for dishonest gain.. .
this year some convention sites the hotels said no thank you i think the jws are going to book with us anyway.
I don't know about now but in times past when booking rooms for the conventions we asked the hotel sales agent or manager how many comp rooms would we get. It was based on the number of rooms booked in. Those comp rooms either went to visiting 'dignitaries' or if unused would be put out to dubs who would pay the convention for the value of the room.

They will post uber elders to watch who goes to the blocked hotels and then harass the dubs for going there.
