This is called the shingle generation. One overlaps the next, which overlaps the next... This could go on for a long time. At least until all the old farts die and the can start a new light with none of the historic clutter.

I have no interest in religion or any belief system. I am "religioned" out.

Whatever happened to the "written review"?
by pale.emperor indoes anyone know why the written review was stopped?
i relished the half hour silence they'd give you to "write down your answers", time i spend doodling or thinking up cool song lyrics..

I remember when the r&f turned in their exam where it was graded and given back. I was just a kid. So, I never actually turned in my exam.

Did You Go To Meetings in Very Inclement Weather?
by minimus inliving in new england means having lots of snow and cold.
elders were very reluctant to cancel or reschedule a meeting due to the weather.
i lived 3 towns away from the kingdom hall and if it was icy and treacherous my vote would always be to cancel the meeting....and forget about rescheduling!.

Canceling meetings is a local decision. The decision depends on the local elder body. Back in the 60s and 70s, I cannot recall any meetings canceled. But I think that is a generational issue.

Suggesting that the system would last until 2000 would indicate a lack of faith. Suggesting that the system would last until 2018 would just make you seem bat-crazy. There was no scenario that would take this system until 2018.

2005 Big Announcement (Disappointment)
by Fred Franztone ini remember around 2005, there was an announcement made from the platform that in a few weeks time we would have to remain at the end of the sunday meeting for a big announcement, directly from the society.. i remember all the murmuring, people thought maybe this was going to be related to armageddon.
everyone was excited, people were speculating.
only the po in each congregation had any idea what was going on, and they were frequently pestered for information, but sworn to secrecy, which only hyped things up even more.. then the meeting came, anticipation was in the air, the announcement started, you could hear a pin drop.

I was out by 2005 so I missed this very special event. But your description was, I am sure, spot on.
A similar event happened in 1987 when they had a special announcement and reading of an official letter in response to the 1987 year of International Peace. We were told in advance of the special letter. After reading the letter they passed out a copy of the Peace and Security book. What an f&(^ing let down.

Work Colleague Went To a JW Funeral - His Experience
by pale.emperor inso the guy in my office on the desk next to me has just got back from the funeral of his wifes sister.
this was his first time in a kh and full on exposure to jwdom.. bit of background: the deceased jw was not a born in, she was a convert when she was in her teens.
she died last week at the age of 82. the poor old dear was still zealously knocking on doors while in ill health.

Fifty bucks says that the brother who eulogized her counted his time for the worldly people in attendance. Gotta report those hours to the mother ship.
Based on the details of this story it is possible that most, if not all, of the JW participants, were counting time.
