How in the hell are they going to know about family worship participation? Are they installing spy cameras in everybody's houses to monitor compliance? They're making it up, it's nothing more than another shameless way to guilt trip the poor bloody infantry into breaking their backs for the org even more. If they're reliant on feedback from individual dubs, just tell them what they want to hear. Then trash the worship, go watch a DVD instead and the elders can go suck it.

This.

This is an utter disgrace. How could this sum up the weight of a man's worth, it shows as much respect as putting him out with the trash. Like many, I only knew Eric through the medium of his posts here, but grew to like, admire and respect the man behind them. He was a truly noble soul, who sacrificed so much to help those he loved, demanding nothing but to be accepted for who he was. Full of life and energy, compassion and such wit.How strange that those most moved by this tragedy are those who, mostly, only knew him through the internet. Just a pattern of coloured dots on a screen. But you will be missed, Eric, those who knew and appreciated you will mourn your passing and keep your memory. There is an Oompa-shaped whole in the world that can never be filled.
If one good thing is to come out of this sadness, may it be that your efforts to get your loved ones free and safe come to fruition. Pity it cost so much.

The world has lost much of it's colour, much of it's brightness today.
Eric, may you find the peace denied you in life.

Service meeting topic: Masturbation
by perfect1 inone of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.
i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).
looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

Here in the UK we have the Jeremy Kyle show, a slightly sanitised version. It features a small, obnoxious, immensely arrogant host berating, insulting and generally belittling the "guests" whose issues generally involve an inability to control their genitalia.
Personally, I think they find the guests by throwing a big net over a Lidl, (or Wal-Mart, I guess) and dragging the pond life out.

No more 3-day DCs starting in 2013?
by respectful_observer inapologies if there is another recent thread on this, but i have heard from 4 different people in 3 different geographic areas (including someone who does advance work for the dcs), that beginning in 2013 the three day dc program will be replaced by a second two-day circuit assembly.
some people were passing the info along like a secret, others seemed to think that everyone already knew.. if everyone in j-dub land is already talking about this, how is it not all over this forum??.
anyway, can anyone confirm or deny?.

At the DC in Colchester, UK back on 30th June, a grand total of 10 got sheep dipped. Peak attendance for the Saturday BS session was 4,876 and 5,367 for the Sunday. Don't have any figures for Friday as I dodged that particular bullet.

...Stop the Trap!...New Internet Laws Pending..You could have to pay a big fine for simply clicking on the wrong link...
by OUTLAW inen francais .
you could have to pay a big fine for simply clicking on the wrong link.. right now, a group of 600 industry lobbyist "advisors" and un-elected government trade representatives are scheming behind closed doors1,2 to craft an international agreement called the trans-pacific partnership (tpp).. why the secrecy?
we know from leaked documents3 that the tpp includes what amounts to an internet trap that would:.

Count me in. I can imagine our intellectual colossus of a Prime Minister, David "iggle piggle" Cameron signing up for this exercise in PhD-level turd polishing.
Anyone comfortable around Linux might want to get a live CD of Tails or Liberte just in case.
