  Many thanks!

  So like watchtower to act high and mighty and all knowing and spiritually prescient in these articles, when in actual fact they have been FORCED TO CHANGE due to being legally up against the wall with their shunning practices!!

  I've noticed this "Where did you hear that?" question too from my own mother when I tell her some incontrovertible truth that proves conclusively the wt teachings are a pile of crap.

  It's as if they are desperate to rubbish the source of the information so they can then go back to their superior, brain washed state...

  LHG:
  I don’t even feel sorry for them and feel that in 2024 if anybody is ignorant about the Jehovah’s Witness religion, it is by choice.

  👍 I couldn't agree more!

  I tried to lighten up the picture to see if it could be seen any better.

  How did that erection get past the quality control dept??

  Kingdom hall cleaning

  what are your memories of hall cleaning?.

  i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.

  the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

  Oh yes!

  My little brother gave the game away and my elder dad laid into me.

  I said 'elder Joe cleaned the hall last week whilst playing his Mantovani records.' Dad said 'That's different..'

  Hmmm...🤷‍♂️

  I remember being entrusted by my elder Dad along with my younger brother to go and clean the hall by ourselves.

  He was puzzled why we were so keen. It was about 1982 and our KH had a brilliant sound system.

  We blasted out The Jam, The Beatles, Pink Floyd at top volume as we cleaned the hall - happy days!

  for the first time in ages.. a very elegantly dressed senior lady and a young chap.

  but--it wasnt just having a leaflet thrust at me--it was a full blown "old style" presentation.

  i stopped her going to far into it--by asking if they are jws--and told them i was an apostate.

  there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.

  even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.

  I was in a hall when a fellow MS confided in me that he was depressed, lacklustre and totally spiritually bereft.

  Two weeks later the CO came and he was appointed as an elder!!

  He had the decency to come and see me and tell me how bizarre the whole situation was...
