I remember the break, and I remember when they eliminated it and made the meetings a little shorter. Although the break was nice, half the time it would go somewhat longer than the 15 minutes allotted and it seemed that the meetings went on forever. Even though I missed the respite, it was nice to have total meeting times reduced.

The break between meetings
by freedom96 inwhen i was a young child, i remember there being a small break between the meetings.
you could get up, walk around, associate, and then go back in for the second half.
at some point, they changed it to where there was just the song.

As a JW, I had a strange experience, but nothing since. I still can't explain what was going on that time.

The GB has done additional research with regard to pagan symbols, and in an attempt to purge the organization of any taint of paganism, all weddings are now cancelled. There will be no more wedding rings, gowns, bridal parties, flowers, cake, receptions, or honeymoons.
All JWs will now be required to go with an elder to the local City Hall and have a combined ceremony at that time. Only clothing that would be appropriate for a meeting at the Kingdom Hall will be allowed. The happy couple WILL be allowed, however, to grab a quick coffee and celebratory doughnut after the ceremony.

Staying Awake Or Keeping In A Frenzy?
by AlanF inwe ex-jws know very well how much the watchtower society put us under pressure to believe that "armageddon is just around the corner".
they've been doing it in one form or another ever since charles taze russell began publishing his nonsense.
in 1877 he advocated that true christians should believe that christ would "take them home" in 1878. when that didn't happen he moved the event up to 1881. after that he focused on 1914.. the society is still doing pretty much the same thing, building up expectations and then revising them, decade after decade.

Think before repeating the same apostate dribble about money and scams.
We did think....we observed...we spoke out about it.

I don't even think Mr. & Mrs. Olsen are alive anymore. Mrs. Olsen being around late 60's and Mr. Olsen in the early 70's when this happened.
Doesn't matter. Buy a poodle for their heirs. (Of course, this is totally tongue-in-cheek, but the stupid emoticons don't work on my work PC, so I can't display any cute, little smilies.)
