Do you have any assembly memories/stories?
by RisingEagle inon an earlier thread about ice cream i remembered a snack that was sold at assemblies and that started me thinking about some of my memories of childhood at conventions/assemblies.
i guess it was the taste/smell association because even today when i go to various convention halls for home improvement expos, car shows and the like it takes me right back to the past.
i have many memories wrapped around the conventions and experienced different things because i have lots of elders in the family that were used, literally, for food service, the accounting office, security and dramas.

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

Need help with Domestic Violence references in JW literature
by Namaste ini'm trying to help my friend's non-jw family deal with a domestic violence situation with their recently turned jw sister.
i didn't know it was going to turn into a dv situation (started as something else) so i scrounged up an old reasoning book and a few websites to give the family an idea of what they were dealing with in regards to jws.. now it is clearly dv and i do not have any current resources to help them reason with their family member.
i did a forum search and came up with a few threads, found one from 2001 that had a few wt/aw quotes but was hoping maybe someone had something else in the past 10 years where the jw literature references dv.
