'The Assembly days'
by jolly_green_giant inremember going to the 3 day assembly every summer, sitting for numerous exhausting hours on end?
those were tough on me especially when i was really young and wasn't supposed to be roaming the convention center while the talks were being given.
i couldn't beleive those pricks with the "please be seated" sings.

CO sheparding call today!!
by mole inthats right, the co along with one of the local elders paid an unexpected visit to my wife and i this morning.
i was just busting at the seam to bring up the un fiasco but i refrained as they do not know i have made my journey to the darkside.
my wife just glared with the "looks that kill" as they spewed the usual "time is near better not persue a career" line and i should be providing "spiritually" for the family.

WT "Spin"
by mole inwithout trying to sound like a wt writer myself, i find it amazing to see how the wts takes a subject and uses its crafty wording to mold the thoughts and opinions of the average r&f "dub.
" in doing some research on the un wts connection, i came upon a wt article from feb. 15, 1993 "are jw's a cult.
" (and they fit the mold big-time according to their own definition!

How would you respond?
by mole ini have been "inactive" for the past 12 years.
with the recent events, my mom decides to send me this letter as she can not carry on a dialog about things that normal families talk about.
i know she thinks she is looking out for her son's best interests for i used to feel as she does about anyone who leaves da "troot.

latest CO visit...
by Dogpatch inlatest circuit overseer visit (4/6/01).
dear randy.
i had to just take this time right now to give you another example of the low quality of the teaching within the borg and its also shows how desperate they are.. my sister went to the circuit assembly this past weekend and on the needs of the circuit portion this is what the circuit overseer (gibson) brought out:.

Door To Door? Not At Heathrow!
by Englishman inall this talk about whether door to door work is fruitful or not has really got me thinking.. so i was wondering, (a) how many jw's or ex's here were actually converted on the door, and (b) how many jw's or ex's here ever obtained a convert on the door?.
i made 2 converts whilst a jw, but 1 was the son of an interested person, the other was a wayward son of a weak sister so i get a zero.. my dad worked at london heathrow as an air traffic controller, he got 6 other controllers to join up, so if you're arriving in the uk, don't fly apostasy airways!
for all his frequent bouts of vac pioneering, i don't think that he ever pulled a live one off the doors, so he gets a zero too.. my mum was quite a puller in her time but they were all friends of friends who came to sit in on bible studies etc, so, sorry mater, you get a zero also.. as a matter of fact, i'm wondering if the door to door work isn't completely pointless!.
