    Family Study Evening? You are supposed to practice field circus (I guess that is almost as bad as actual field circus, except you don't actually get to find someone that might make you puke). You do get to pretend that people are interested, or that they will just give one objective and then give in without going to Six Screens of the Watchtower or Freeminds immediately after you leave.

    And study is not exactly enjoyable. You cannot make it enjoyable if you stick with Washtowel approved sources. I would suggest using independent sources to verify or refute the Washtowel sources. Try to find practical value in the message. How are you really creating value by going out in field circus? How is Jehovah creating value by threatening to destroy you unless you take 20 hours out of each day for theocraptic activities? Does that make things more enjoyable? If so, then why did Jehovah create a day of 24 hours when only 4 were supposed to be enough or desirable for human activities?

    What about those without family? And the Washtowel gloats about such people around Christmas time as having it rubbed in their faces. I have news for them--Christmas is only once a year. This crap is every damn week of the year--and there is no way I want to be "adopted" by a family the head of which wants to run every little detail of my life.

    The annual meeting is a way for many to feel extra special that they were invited.
    But in reality, it sounds just like another assembly. Just more of the same.

    Argentina , ....How thankful we are that Jehovah has held back the 4 winds of destruction to save these souls!

    Cult language for "The end hasn't come, but you should be grateful."

    Hong Kong, .....Commercialism and materialism keeps them from learning about Jah.

    Madagascar ...There is no translation for the word soul, and Christendom has really taken advantage of this.

    Cult reminders of Persecution and Satan's world. Commercialism, materialism, Christendom- ALL BAD.

    Portugal .... There are currently 56 studies being conducted and 30 unbaptized publishers in the prisons. 2 after release became Ministerial servants and three have become elders and some have become pioneers.

    Stand by for further lawsuits in Portugal as many (ex)convicts are running the asylum.

    What a morbid sense of humor the note taker and Bro Herd seem to have:

    > Bro Herd, member of the governing body
    > opened the meeting by stating,
    > in the voice of Bro Sydlick
    > (he sounded just like him, it was quite comical)

    Bro Sydlick has been dead since April of 2006 and here Bro Herd one
    of his fellow Governing Body members is imitating his voice.

    Sounds too creepy to be funny to me.
