    Some of the memorable moments today would be:

    1) The nutty mother on stage with her little boy who became an unbaptized publisher at 6. I missed his current age, but he was a tiny little kid, couldn't be much older than a couple years over 6. Tomorrow he gets baptized.

    2) The husband and wife couple who work part-time to pioneer, but wanted to do more so they sold their home, down-sized to one car and made other adjustments to make their lives more simple to put the kingdom first. (what a cult)

    3) The announcement we can now make donations via plastic at the terminals in the lobby. I made eye contact with my dad during that announcement and smiled because he was "stumbled" when he first heard of that "new arrangement" at the service meeting a few months back.

    4) The jackasses being excited about the new song book. Same crap sounding music, now with new and improved loaded language.

    Fortunately, I only made it for the afternoon session because I decided to sleep in and enjoy my lunch before going to that hell. I got there after it started, so I avoided being love-bombed by people telling me how they miss seeing me at the meetings. I fled after the final 10 minute prayer to avoid being stuck in the parking lot for an hour trying to leave while some pitted-up-pus-faced-14-year-old-in-a-suit tries to direct a few thousand cars out of a parking lot in 90 degree heat. God forbid they pay some money to have the police direct traffic for once. Bastards.

    Tomorrow I'll have to get there a little earlier because someone I know and value is unfortunately dedicating his life to the WT$, and I told him I'd be there to see it.
    Two more days of hearing BS being spewed out of the anus of the WT$...

    " The announcement we can now make donations via plastic at the terminals in the lobby."

    wha happened?

    why be shy, most of the brain drain has taken place. The 'tards that are still in will gladly offer their plastic because it's a loving arrangement on the part of the GB

    Good luck tomorrow. Oh I forgot we can't say the word luck. I heard the DC is a dozy this year.

    Thanks for your report. No. 1 and 2 certainly remind me what a cult it is.

    Good luck living through the rest.

    It's just that they put ATM's in casinos to catch people when they are at their lowest......

    People will be on an "emotional high" after the Assembly and they'll be lining up around the block to donate. Plus, when you don't actually see the money....I think they are playing on people's emotions.

    Am I making any sense? This news is startling to me.

    Plastic donations. Meaning that each person will have to max out their credit lines to make up for the mandatory deficit--and they will expect more of the same next year, when people are trying to pay off their credit card bills.

    At least with Christmas bills, you get something for your money. This way, you get the same bills, without any of the value.

    JERKHOVAH- Thanks for the info. Mind boggling. And here I was upset last year when I saw they were discussing at meetings how witnesses were being encouraged to donate trust funds, wills, estates, retirements, jewelry, real estate, inheritances, and whatever else they have to the WT society. Now they are putting credit card payment thinies at assemblies to encourage people to donate their hard earned money ? This is beyond immoral. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
