Interesting. Nice pics. I am guessing they were taken during setup and not while the public attended. Otherwise, they wasted money on the event.

Why are JW talks & publications never uplifting?
by thedepressedsoul ini was sitting at the meeting the other night and for the first time it hit, jw talks or magazines are never uplifting!
i rarely, if ever hear a talk or read a magazines and have it give nothing but praise to jehovahs servants or just praise jehovah and jesus throughout it.
they never just a read through the bible or just a bible story explained or told.

On the flip side, I heard my still-JW wife telling my mother on Skype recently that she really feels alive again going back to work in the city once a week, She is a massage therapist. Recently she has been doing a lot of cross-training She always gets lots of postive feedback from her clients and students. I hope the office she is working with now continues to be successful.
She never comes back from the meetings with anything but: the friends (some of them) said they miss you. She is currently attending less than 50% of the meetings, but she does go out in service once or twice a week,. I wonder when she is going to get an invitation for some counsel about being regular?

Just ask simple questions and make street witnesses move along
by OnTheWayOut inyou don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".

Brilliant work Alex (voice behind the video). The scary thing for me was how well trained the 'Trolley Cart Supervisor' was. Move away, move away. Why? And Alex wasn't even that confrontational. In other words, don't ask questions (that we don't like). -

Meaningful Study
by Awake at last ini never thought i would be commenting, let alone starting a new topic in the category of bible research and study.
anyone reading my comments on this site would have realised that i am the most unspiritual person to have ever stepped foot inside a kh.
yet for the first time in my life, on saturday night, i did some meaningful bible study/research, on my own without a wtbts publication in sight, except the nwt bible.

I could be wrong, but I believe most of the responders to Rebel8's post missed her point. I read it completely differently. Try reading it again with an 'open' mind. Myabe it was just me. I will read it again... -

@little_Socrates: you never hear about it because it never happens! If it did, Fox News would be talking about it for weeks on end.But, I do agree with you that laws are not the answer. Something is fundamentally wrong with the culture. -

Nice way to frame the issue Simon! I haven't been in the states for several years, but my first thought was: what kind of country has it become where people feel it is normal to be armed when going shopping? Here in Poland, besides criminals, only military, police or hunters have weapons. I could get one if I went thru the required training, screening, paperwork, etc - but I don't feel the need. Death by guns here is orders of magnitudes different than in the US (for some reason) and 30% of the ones we have are suicide related.
When I go to Tesco (Walmart equivalent) to buy some dog food, the last thing on my mind is: where is my heat?

My wife and I already solved this issue (for our childern) after her mother's funeral talk (infomercial) at the KH. We have both made it known (verbal and legal) that we do not want any type of service, anywhere. Cremation is expected. No talks, least costs, get on with your lives. But, a drink and a toast is expected some time after the fact.

I don't recall from your previous threads if you are still living at home or attending school somewhere else. While living at home has some benefits, if you are going to school somewhere else (even nearby) you are in a good position. First, attend a meeting or two at the 'away' cong. Maybe even go out in service once (if you can handle it). Tell them that you are travelling quite a bit, to be back home as often as possible to help your family, so they shouldn't be suprised not to see you all the time. The 'home' congregation will assume you are away. When you are back home, attend a meeting and drop a few names from the 'away' cong, especially important if someone on the 'home' team knows someone on the 'away' team. They will check.
Then, stop going all together. I got away with this for over a year. It was a great chance for me to get my head in 'better' place.
If you are still dependent on your parent's support, you will need to play a different game. But it can be done. Don't give up. Your life (the rest of it) depends on it. Hang in there. You are doing well...

If you are still in and looking for a hot partner, please come to Poland. Probally the same in other eastern European countries. I was always amazed when I went to circuit/district assemblies to see such hot babes walking around with guys that would never have a chance to get laid in the US. Of course if he was a MS that was just a bonus. I am not kidding you, totally mind blowing. Might be a good recruitment tool/advertisement to get 'unloved' brothers to go where the need is great.
Perhaps Jw.org could start a dating service.
