VERY short day at the Arlington/Dallas International Convention-My Observations

by CaptainSchmideo in

okay, some good takeaway:.

i have never been to a convention quite like this before.

a very friendly vibe all around, lots of banners and posters with sayings like "sending love to all our brothers", "see you in the paradise", "ecuador sends greetings", and "jehovahs-witness.net" (okay, i lied on that last one...).

so we have women on heat, *individuality in dress with a gentle spattering of civic pride/ nationalism. Mein Gott! It sounds almost.... wait for it..........................................................worldly!

It would be great to see the various tribal, clan, racial whatever costumes being realized.

Hey! That means i could wear a kilt in honour of my ancestors.

("what's worn under your kilt Jock?")

"Nothings worn,.. it all works perfectly well".

* female need eh? let me guess they are going to put out a 'schedule' for nookie nights?

some of your accounts have been warming some have been so sad i had to leave off the site a time as they opened wounds.

uber dub random meeting and why all the changes to the format here?!

by tiki in

ran into an uber-dub known from my history in the org......she had to be very sure i wasn't d'fed or d'aed - merely "inactive" so she could give me a big hug and inform me that she knows i'm coming back to jehovah because he understands my "hurt" and....blah blah blah.

it struck me how dependent they are on labels.......and how very stupid it is....you can hug me because i don't have the df label?

would i be a different person if i had that label?

Child Shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses International Convention, Melbourne, Australia (17-19 October 2014)

by jwleaks in

documents and media releases relating to the shunning and discrimination of a special needs child by jehovahs witnesses in relation to the melbourne international convention, 17-19 october 2014. the following documents and press release were received by jw leaks in relation to the jehovahs witnesses international convention at etihad stadium, melbourne, australia.

it is understood that due to last minute information in relation to the administration and control of the first aid health services at the convention the following press documents had not been released to the media.. prior to publishing and releasing the following sensitive information, the members of the team at jw leaks made formal inquiries with the victorian workcover authority (vwa) and the administrators of etihad stadium (melbourne stadiums limited) as to whether measures have been put in place to prevent the jehovahs witnesses and watchtower bible and tract society of australia from operating any first aid health services and first aid department in alleged breach of applicable health and safety laws.. we were assured that the jehovahs witnesses will no longer have control of the first aid management at the event but that st john ambulance first aid officers will be on site for each of the three days.

it is our understanding that this was done for the purpose of protecting the health and safety of all 70,000 daily patrons and delegates attending the convention.

The up coming Intl convention to be held on the island of Malta has similar requirements re physical impairments.

new york city gives religious buildings water exemptions if the building is entirely used for religious purposes and if there is a caretaker's apartment, there can be only one.

that assembly hall had 2. the water dept denied their application for exemption on that basis.

The money hungry (and deceitful) sods.

I read somewhere:

When the US forces invaded the Iwo Jima the caualties were horrific in number and type. The medics quickly ran out of plasma and resorted to using sea water filtered through gauze and saved the lives of many marines.
