Right on, Stuckinarut2: If any of us even THOUGHT of using some of the lines he used, either in a talk, or an answer, or in a JC, then we would be strung up and accused of being "self-willed" !

"Take it up with God" -- the most arrogant statement I've heard -- Morris

can you imagine if you were called into the back room, then giving that kind of answer to one of their kangaroo jc questionings?.

Trial Balloon.
Noun[edit]
trial balloon (plural trial balloons)
- (idiomatic) An idea, suggestion, or prospective action, product, etc. offered to an audience or group in order to test whether it generates acceptance or interest.
I believe one of the reasons for this meeting, where some 3/4 million sheeples were all listening to the same thing -- economics! Just think of the $$$ that can be saved to, in turn, place it into a contribution box. Little travel and lodging, large hall and parking rentals. Perhaps most important -- consistency of message -- where speakers in various geographical areas can't inject their own agenda between the lines of the prepared script. Recall the now embarrasing "Alive in '75" rants back in the day? All spouted from District Assembly gatherings.
Based on this trial balloon, or test, future large gatherings can be planned. One thing that may be lacking is the interaction of the sheeples at the larger gatherings -- but they can partially satisfy that via technology. Using between-sessions video moments of those in attendance (not necessarily live, but captured snippetss for later display) and displayed by large UHD LED monitors, I can hear the oohs and aahhs now. "Isn't the Society making wonderful use of our money?"

ps: OOPS! This was basically said on the prior page. Please forgive me as this is a huge thread.

This is one of the most profoundthreads in a long time. We've learnEd so much about the Atlantis group, their background -- their generosity.
Can you tell us more about that BOE master list? I would be on that list during the mid 70s. I guess that it includes congregation city and state (if USA)? How about other positions -- ministerial servants, bethelites, circuit and district overseers, gilead grads?
We on JWN would love to hug y'all and shake your collective hands.

"Ebola is not spread through the air" -- CDC. Yeah, right!
by FatFreek 2005 insomehow, i don't have a warm fuzzy feeling when i keep hearing from the center of disease control, "ebola is not spread through the air ...".
ever sneezed?
the famous myth busters had a revealing show on the power of the sneeze anecdotally it has a velocity of some 35 miles per hour and travels a distance of some 30 feet.. ever traveled in the close confines of an air liner?

Is CDC ready to redefine protocol for Ebola protection to include hermetically sealing of patient?
Five Days Ago!
"The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said there was 'clearly' a breach in protocol that led to a Texas health care worker contracting Ebola after treating a Liberian man who later died from the virus, although authorities do not yet know what that breach was."
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-chief-on-second-ebola-case-there-was-a-breach-in-protocol/Today -- no break in protocol?
Dr. Daniel Varga of Texas Health Resources told ABC Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser. "We have no indication that Nina or Amber had any break in protocol," he said. "We were working with the best information we had. In retrospect, would we have liked to hermetically seal them so this didn't happen? Absolutely."
http://www.dailynews724.com/new-york/ebola-nurse-called-texas-health-officials-before-flight-uncle-h274624.htmlSo, now it's possible that hermitically sealing the patient may become the latest in protocol modification?
Recall what a hermetic seal is?
"A hermetic seal has the quality of being airtight."

With reference to a sneeze this MIT researcher makes an interesting summary:
"Most of the larger, heavier drops fall quickly to the floor under the influence of gravity. The smaller and lighter particles (those that are five microns or less across) are less affected by gravity and can stay airborne almost indefinitely as they are caught up in and dispersed by the room's airflow.

Somehow, I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling when I keep hearing from the Center of Disease Control, "Ebola is not spread through the air ..."
Ever sneezed? The famous Myth busters had a revealing show on the power of the sneeze – anecdotally it has a velocity of some 35 miles per hour and travels a distance of some 30 feet.
Ever traveled in the close confines of an air liner? Not everyone properly covers their mouth.
See what I mean?

I remember those days well having been dunked in 1956. I don't know why it took me till '77 to shake myself to reality. However, I recall well the hype -- the strong implications (the WT never came out with a direct promise such as they did with the year 1925 -- yet they did a slight apology in the early 80's for their multitude of published implications ) and kinda turned my head after getting it puffed up with an appointment as an elder. I recall the feeling of self-importance at giving instruction talks in the TMS, the occasional public talks at various congregations. Having 4 young boys and a marriage that I suspected would crumble (it did) was a deterrent for a while. Those back burner issues simply got too bothersome to ignore any longer.
To those lurking -- the 1975 fiasco was real. I was there and will never forget. Check out your 1975 yearbook (on WT library CD), searching for the year 1925 and "anna macdonald" how they were starting to prepare the flock for disappointment in that 50th anniversary.
