Using the little invitations is easy, even a baby can hand them out and count time. Look at the big figures and doing it every 3 months we don't have anyone inactive. So, the COs look good, the congs look good, territories are worked every 6 months and wow look at the buzz of activity. But, what are the cold facts & figures? Are Memorial attendences up and conventions bursting at the seams? By inviting the public the JWs look more mainstream and are not a secret society. But, what if a direct mail, radio and TV spots, internet ads, etc were used? There would be more attendence. Thioughts?

Don't question anything, Jehovah will make it right. Look the other way, that is what we will do for you.
At our local cong picnic - "you don't know how to drink - here have a straight shot of gin" (from 2 local elders) - I was a new boy all of 19 years old - it was legal to drink then.

Is there anything wrong with "United in Worship" book?
by Albert Einstein infew months ago in my country (eastern europe) a letter was read in congregation, that the "united in worship of the only true god" (the blue book people studied as a second book after "you can live forever"...) is updated an replaced by another book and all publishers should bring their copies to elders.
the reason presented was that brothers (due to efficiency) want to recykle the books ecologicaly (iam not making this up).
it was literally said, that all books should be taken to the kh and not a single copy should be kept home.. when my mil told us that (we were not going to meetings at that time already with my wife) i told her, that as far as i know brothers do not have any recykling facility and if they do and want to be ecological, they should ask for all updatet publications, not just for this book.

Ah, the old peach colored bomb. It was shear terror looking at the artwork - swords, babes offered up to Baal and esp. the big A! Us kiddies would go and hide. They never collected the old books. I still have mine and remember studying with many young ones in the 60s with it and then the great teacher book. Oh, to be young again. And don't forget the old Heritage Movie. Heard from a CO in Brooklyn that most of the kids in it fell out the Truth later. Maybe a bit too much of US Glass bombing out the words about the days back then. Have to love it!

end times - the worse of the worse
by seenitall inimagine living during ww2 - the threats of the big bomb, fear, great depression just ending and then - peace can it last?
conditions then were so much worse than now - shorter life expectancy, lack of food, communism and other fears!
having asked my relatives who lived through then and now my parents approaching their end, they all said that that time was the worst!

Imagine living during WW2 - the threats of the big bomb, fear, great depression just ending and then - Peace can it last? Conditions then were so much worse than now - shorter life expectancy, lack of food, Communism and other FEARS! Having asked my relatives who lived through then and now my parents approaching their end, they all said that that time was the worst! Also, imagine living during the dark ages, WW1, or other dark periods of history. Everyone has experienced the last days. Pushing, pushing and more pushing by JWs to get the end day here will not happen. Only Jeh and now Jesus know that day, hour and time. Any attempt by us to push it, figure it out or do a tract campaign to get the old harlot mad and the governments stirred up will fail. What a joke this has been for so many of us growing up and then reading the past of the org. Sad but true, we may just continue on for an eternity with no end day in our lifetime or our childrens, grandchildrens or 5 generations down the road. What a farce trying to figure out dates, such a waste.

Tidbits continue - great to be able to post after 10 on the first day. Info will come as time goes by - can't reveal too much due to family, work, etc. How about this one - Doc Dixon coming up from Brooklyn and going over to the slaughterhouse, opening up the trunk and loading up meat, steaks and more, more, more. Saw so much of this upper perks that I wanted to scream. How about the John Kutch cabins for rent and how about the dentists wife's affair. Also, the Bethel thief, midnight feeler and crazy guys attacking the housekeepers in the hampers? Love to see comments from ones that were there!

Watchtower making CDs of each Magazine Issue? What's with This?
by Room 215 inwifey comes home with cds of watchtower and cd issues; what, don't they expect jws to read hard copy anymore?.

They have had CDs of the mags for years. Now, you can download the rags at jw.org and starting 9-01-10 you can download pdfs of the wt & g - they will up for 6 months. Look for the day when KMs, books and all will be downloadable. Printing costs and shipping costs are too high. Already they will are starting the new arrangement for rags to be shipped out to the assembly halls once printing starts in Canada - too expensive to send out USPS from Toronto. The insiders edge continues!

New light overtakes all the dark bad light. Refining by holy spirit! Let's have a book burning. Farenheit 451, anyone?
One of my favorite books and movies of all time. Dr Strangelove is also at the top and The Night of the Hunter (Robert Mitchum plays a deranged preacher - he yells out "Jehovah commands you children!"
Ah, days of wine and roses and the 39 steps. What a gay old life it is!
