Resolutions at Kingdom Hall
by sieborg inanyhow i got to thinking today about my days in the borg and the resolutions that would intermittently be made in the announcements for co visit expenses, sending a donation to society www fund etc.
my point is that while i was in (almost thirty two years) i never once saw anyone put up their hand to vote against a resolution that the body of elders proposed.
on a couple of occasions i heard a few hushed murmurs but i never saw one person vote against.

Inviting disfellowshipped to the memorial
by wannaexit ini read in a european ex jw forum that this year they are making a special effort to invite not only the inactive but also a special effort is made to invite all disfellowshipped.
.
i don't know if this as always been a common practice, or something started anew so they can boast about the numbers of attendees..

AGEING CONGREGTIONS
by sieborg inhi everyone on this forum,this is my first post but i have been lurking around here for about a year.
i was at the hall this morning and as i was looking round i noticed that, if 20 years down the line i was stood a the back looking around, more than half of those at the hall i attend would be dead due to old age.
if anyone still goes to a k/h ,are the ones in your k/h ageing.

How I miss the 'Truth' of my youth....
by gingerbread inmy family moved from the city to the country.. part of the reason for the relocation was to move 'to where the need was greater'.
i loved our new home - i was free to roam the woods and fields, enjoy the wildlife, work in our garden and feed the chickens.
i had new friends in our new congregation.

Genesis 11 : 6 Thoughts?
by sieborg ingenesis 11 : 6 the lord said, behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language.
and this is what they begin to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.. according to watchtower doctrine, after adam eve f**ked it up for us in the garden of eden, god left mankind to their own devices in order to prove that they could not rule themselves.. if this is correct, then his interference at the tower of bable was in direct conflict of what he was supposed to be trying to prove.
his own inteference in my opinion also invalidates his argument that mankind needs god to direct them.
