if in fact you're a bethel agent, I will of course have to terminate you to protect my identity.
That works both ways my friend... and I will be the guy with the barbeque fork!! :)
Bethelites are not welcome unless they bring me a copy of the new elder's manual and/or the latest Society CD Rom
Contact me privately at the email listed above and I'll give you my personal info if it will make you more comfortable.

Just bringing this back to the top.

man it's good to be home, relaxed and de-stressing right now!
how many times today, i just wanted to say aaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhh!!!!
at my circuit's one-day assembly.
ahhh Ernie Funk (now there's a name that would get one beat up at school).
He is the assistant Home Overseer. Sweet and sincere man but kinda slow in the brains department. His wife Jean is the "den-mother" of the factory boys. Trying to marry them off, or mother them.
I know what you mean about Ernie's speaking style.. YAWN!!!!!
I can see him using this as a way of trying to sacre the Rank and file. These stats along with Those that think they are standing and pride before a crash scriptures and send the sheep back out!! sigh
I don't really miss that conditioning program at all.
ahhhh Freedom!

Wow. So my timing was pretty much the same as 17,000 other people?? So much for feeling unique! LOL
Who was your Bethel Speaker? I am surprised they are getting them to talk about this at Assemblies. Normally talk of decreases is discouraged.
Enjoy your evening. De-tox from the event now!!

Toronto Island is right across the harbour from the CN Tower. You have to take a Ferry across the harbour to get there.
Centre Island is part of "Toronto Island" where the Amusement Park is and the West Island is great for picnics, barbeques, volleyball etc. Toronto Island airport is also on the West side of the Island. Starting to sound familiar yet?
hell for those so inclined the Nude Beach is a 10 minute walk from where the picnic area is..to each their own. :)
Let me know.

If you are coming up from the States, Toronto is about 1.5 hours from Buffalo. I can also look into accomodations for those needing them.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

by now most of us have heard the urban legends of smurfs vs. jw's.. such as smurf dolls walking down kingdom hall aisles or strangling jw babies (replaced dingos eating them in australia lol).. the initial problem jw's had with smurfs was that on the tv show they were conjuring up spells, later more ummm "enlightened" jw viewers started questioning a community of all males with only one female (smurfette).. so jw's felt that it was not appropriate for jw children to watch shows about magic.. it is this same reasoning that has scared some away more recently rom harry potter novels and pokemon.. it was stupid when it involved smurfs and is just as stupid now.
.
but there ya have it, the main reasons (if you can call them that...) that jw's hate smurfs and developed such wild stories to enforce their opinion.. kismet
JURS:
Elders are generally discouraged from reading apostate material as are all JW's. Circuit Overseers in the meetings with the elders have provided reminders in that regard.
Still some elders decide to ignore that and do it anyway. Some make efforts to discredit the info but often resort to trying to discredit all apostates as fanatical evil doers with personal grudges that will lie chaet or steal in order to make the Society look bad. We know this is a sham but it often works as a tactic to convince people to stop reading apostate literature.
The brothers in the Legal Department at bethel however do read Apostate literature (to inform themselves beofre trials of arguments and tactics). This is never admitted to but all apostate books and pamphlets are in the Legal Libraries at bethel.
Hope this is of some help.
