My old congregation long ago started to suffer on Sunday afternoon field service. Hardly anyone came, maybe 3, 5 people in the back room, usually the family of the brother incharge of taking the group out. When the CO came around, that room was packed like never before. The door would even be left open. Once he left it was back to normal.

You ever notice how personalities change when CO comes around?
by dugout inisn't it sickning when normaly people in the cong don't even speak to you.
but when the co visits comes they want to shake your hand and even (cringe) hug you?
then as soon as he leaves back to normal.

Why doesn't he just do both if his religion is concerned? It's not like taking time to pour water on yourself, which lasts less than a minute, will take away precious time from field service. He could have donated money or raised awareness, and preached, not like it's hard to do.

I'm not a big fan of the new songs, I like the book that came before because I grew up with them. Most of the time, the same songs are repeated over and over again at the Kingdom Hall, it gets boring. And some of the songs aren't very lively or as beautifully written as others.

There was a speech given at the assembly where a bethel representative (and I think GB assistant) said "where there are false prophets, there is false religion."

What the heck? the new campaign with the tract doesn't really say much. Don't exactly know what the world will know that is new if it's pretty much the same thing already being taught. Just another event in JW land

As a JW, I never thought of this. JWs don't go through this detail, instead skip that whole idea and jump to the paradise part. Oh, and don't forget the birds that will feed on carcasses.

100 years in the sense that they're celebrating 100 years of something important to them, JWs celebrate 100 years since 1914. Just to clear up what I meant to say, though I can see how my words were read differently.

New Article in JW.ORG "Should Christians Drink Tea?"
by EdenOne inshould christians drink tea?.
would you like a cup of tea?.
this seemingly innocent question has been asked countless times, and is regarded as a gesture of courtesy and hospitability in many parts of the world, in both eastern and western culture.

That's crazy! I'd rather not have a sign like that, especially when it pops out in contrast to the Kingdom Hall colors. You'd be able to tell if it's a Kingdom Hall a mile away. It's the end of the name Watchtower and the start of JW.org, sleek, modern, catchy, and doesn't bring in the same baggage Watchtower has. I spotted another car in my Kingdom Hall with the JW.org sticker, this is going pretty far...
