It was a BobbleHead Memorial
by Mad inthe funniest head-bobbing i've ever seen- and at the most important commeration there is!
what made it ridiculous is that the speaker wore glasses that magnified the endless bobbing of his eyes, as he fought valiantly to keep from bobbing his head too much, as he read his little speech written by hq, as a good parrot would...the same stupid statements- "questions you may ask", "we do well to", "but, wait!
", "question you may ask", etc.

WE didn't go to the Memorial last night!!!
by Gill inwe didn't go to the memorial last night.. husband and self went to sainsburys and bought easter eggs for the kids and we bought the dvds of 'a night in the museum' and 'flushed away'.. easter egg consumption will commence on sunday as with the usual pagan ritual.. films have already been watched, enjoyed and watched again.. we went shopping half an hour before the memorial was due to start so that any jws going past would see we were consumed in our worldly pleasures!!
we also bought a load of reduced 'danish' and us and kids ate them with relish with a nice cup o' tea!.
ah!

Did Bethel play music or the radio in the factory to alleivate boredom?
by truthseeker injust curious for all those bethelites who worked in the factory at bethel - did you have the radio playing or were you allowed to listen to your own music?.
i'm trying to imagine what it must be like working in the bindery with no music during 8 hour days.. or did you work in step with jehovah's orgainzation to the kingdom melodies?.

Brooklyn Bethel to be sold. Has anyone else heard this?
by nicolaou ini'll bet it's already been posted and i missed it but if not, i just heard that brooklyn hq is to be sold over concerns for safety following the 9/11 attacks.
the news has come to me through an incredibly loyal jw sister.
i know her, she wouldn't repeat anything like this if she hadn't heard it from the kingdom hall or a circuit overseer.. anything to this?.

Congregation member lists: do they still use them? Current Dubz only!
by MinisterAmos infor some reason (read they are afraid that exiting jws will use them to "stumble" other bros.) my new congo will not issue the normal member list with names, addies, numbers and congo appointments; the same list that everyone uses to call their jw buddies over for a booze party.. i was switched to this new congo two or so years ago and since have heard of two other congos that have stopped distributing lists.
since i have only inquired of two congoes, i ass-ume that the distribution of "friends" personal info is now forbidden?.
please comment all you current members/faders.
