  Special Assembly Day - tepid applause

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just got back from a recent sad.. after most talks, the applause was, at most, tepid.. it was striking in its tepidity, if that is possible (and if that is a word).. affter most talks, applause lasted literally no more than 5 seconds.

  its volume was scarcely above a whisper.. it wasn't acoustics - the bethel speaker was technically a polished speaker (although presenting the same old boring info), and his talks generated noticeably louder applause.

  but even still - that applause was maybe 10 seconds, and about normal-conversation level.. but local speakers - the applause was not much more loud than the hum coming from your refrigerator.. there were 1300+ people there.. it was just so weird - my previous large-group experience was at the agm, where people were nearly apoplectic & drooling with delight over their new "silver bibles" (which very few have read, i'd wager).. these guys were just "zombified".. speaking of bibles - bethel dude called it a "platinum bible".

  Did the baptism speaker offer a prayer at the end of the talk? Why? is right.

  i wanna hear the word that made you either physically nauseous or burst out in uncontrolable laughter.

  please demonstrate it in a sentence as well.

  mine was 'enthused' (my fingers were shaking as i typed).

  What would the Watchtower Society do...?

  when the economy collapses, and it will, worse than 2008, far worse.... ...what would the watchtower society do if a large group of homeless jw's starting camping out at wakhill, new york, perhaps in a large 'tent city'?.

  Gingerbread, it sounds like the brothers were following the lead of WT. The audio drama, "Keep Your Eye Simple" mentions the followings during the Rwandan genocide: "...even when our Rwandan brothers were in dire circumstances, they often asked for spiritual food ahead of material provisions. These brothers needed everything...yet many times the first thing they asked for was a Bible or a Watchtower magazine."

  Turnersville Assembly Hall

  the congregation i'm associated with had their assembly recently and i decided to go for one day.

  i could not believe how much it felt like one of those mega churches you see on tv.

  they've added now 2 very large tv screens on each side of the speaker as well as a monstrous projection screen above.

  RE: new arrangement for Circuit Assembly streamed "special" talks.

  This new feature will be useful when the order comes down from Bethel to drink the purple punch a la Jonestown '78.

  nope, bungi bill's interesting statement from this post didn't take, so i'll start its own.. from my own experience, i hated the field ministry.

  it might just be because of the kind of character i am, whatever, i never was able to overcome that feeling of dread every time i went door-to-door.

  i felt aware of how much people disliked having strangers cold-calling trying to sell them something.

  The zeal has gone out of the preaching work , their is no more urgency to the work.

  this is an observation i have made .

  yesterday a group of jw`s entered the street where i live , i`m at the end of a street and they stood around and obviously joked and mucked around for about 10 minutes as a group opposite my house .their were 3 teenage girls ,1 teenage boy , and 3 older men .

  this was about 10:30 am on a saturday.

  At least the older guy wasn't working with one of the young sisters. I've seen where the servant diched his wife to work a street with a pretty 20-something sister.

  Pioneering: How the GB shamelessly capitalizes on members' worldly desire for prominence.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible likens the preaching work to a sacrifice of praise - praise to god.

  pioneering is also a sacrifice that involves praise.

  it's the sacrifice of a specified number of hours that wins you the praise of men.. when you really analyze the psychology of pioneering it is apparent that the praise of men or prominence before men is at the heart of it.

  I know pioneers that would rather lose a kidney than get off the pioneer list.

  was it being able to join the theocratic ministry school?

  being a regular pioneer?

  "handling microphones"?

  had the book study in my home for over a year, yet was never allowed to say the prayer. Huh?
