I Remember........
by pontoon inwhen my mom first started to study in the 1960's the first kh and congregation we went to was a big open room over a grocery store.
i remember in the 1970's having circuit assemblies in rented facilities the local brothers would arrange for.
i remember three regular accounts, donations for the society, donations for the local congregation/kh, and the literature account.

One more new light becoming 'old darkness'
by Ray Frankz inwell, we are studying the book of daniel in the meetings now, and this week was the reading about the four beasts and the goat etc.. i got suprised that the sources didn't include any page of the wt book pay attention to daniel's prophecy,.
my only guess is that they have already changed something too big to take the risk of a average witness go searching and start to make questions about their allegedly inspiration..

Any new style Video Funeral yet?
by Lostandfound inthe appalling funeral outlines over the years quickly skip over the personal details of the deceased, on to the wt advertising and use of the opportunity to mesmerise a captive audience.
but is a video of caleb and sophia mourning their grandparents on the way, “we sure miss grandad but how thrilling his donation example was...” do sisters gyrate to the music and clap hands, is the new light style witness meeting by video on the way, dont bother going to bro xs funeral, it on jw.dead broadcasting, with a page up to show his will bequests to the wt, ranked by amount, 5 star funeral over £10,000 bequest in will, no bequest a one line mention.
so much changed, dead witnesses would be horrified by changes, for the poorer witness with no meney left to wt overlapping online funerals for lots of poor people at once, no individual ceremony.

Christian Farm
by Ray Frankz inby the time i'm in this forum i suppose plenty of you have already made the obvious comparison between the wt and many totalitarian kinds of government.. based on the 1984 novel by orwell, a satiric comment about the socialist regime, it's amazing how it fits almost perfectly the history of the wt.. the farms= the christendom (mainly ruled by the roman catholic church).
the animal farm = the bible students group.
the pigs = the wt leaders in brooklyn.

A possible move?
by careful inin the second section (money stuff) of this morning's usa today newspaper (print copy p. 5b) there is one of those legal notices that groups put up in order to announce things and set deadlines.
this one is from the santa fe, new mexico archdiocese, mandated by the us bankruptcy court.
it's notification that people who were sexually abused by rc priests have until june 17 to file their claims.. this got me wondering.

Explain Puns (to victims of puns)
by TerryWalstrom inexplaining puns to victims of puns__________thanks for explaining the word "many" to me, it means a lot.____that was a pun.scientists actually study how puns are created.. “creative language — and humor in particular — is one of the hardest areas for computational intelligence to grasp,” say scientists who analyzed more than 10,000 puns and called it torture.____my dad died when we couldn't remember his blood type.
as he died, he kept insisting for us to "be positive," but it's hard without him.____.

Just a LOL at a radio religions pitch
by days of future passed ini put it under the jokes heading because it made me laugh.
sometimes, i don't know why, but i listen to a religious station on the way home from work.
maybe because i just want to roll my eyes over their version of religious interpretation as well as see that they all do the same as the wt.. anyway, this particular preacher was at the end of his program.
