Dwindling Attendance? Here's a quick fix!....
by Tech49 inso here's a real life experience you will get a kick out of.. our kh has about 90 publishers.
typical meeting attendance during a co visit is right at 100 or so.
the rest of the time, attendance is a dismal 50-60, sometimes 70 on a good week!.

I knew a brother years ago, who's wife was in a bad wreck with him. They wanted to give her blood, but he said NO! The police kept him cuffed to the bed. When she died, he was charged with manslaughter! It took two years, but the charges were dropped!

Book Burning and other burning of materials done by JW. Any experiences Please post
by adjusted knowledge inas a very young child i have memories of several book burnings done by jw families.
it wasn't something arranged by the congregation, but elders did participate in it.
it was actually scary for me as a child of only about 8 years old.

My first girlfriend's family, found s strange book under a couch cucusion after a relative visited. It was in another language, and had a funny diagram on the front, and many more inside! Well the family had, a few set backs after the relative left, and before they found the book! Well it had to be demonic with all those strange symbols all though it! They burned it and everything she had used, sheets, towels, a barrel full of stuff. Everything burned, except the book! More prof it was demonic! They soaked it in kerosene overnight, piled a bunch of wood on it, and lit it up! Burned for 2 hours, still some of it remained! They took it somewhere and buried it!
Some years later, a German chemistry teacher had a copy, it was all about chemistry! And very old, and worth a good sum of money!
The relative was a chemical major in college!

New Music! Again!
by DwainBowman inremember when we went to just piano music for the song's at the hall!
it was supposed to be better etc etc!i remember many quietly complaining about the borning piano music, as compared to the orchestra music, and how much more lively and enjoyable it was!
so for 30+ years, the sad borning piano noise was so great!now years later, all of a sudden, orchestra music is coming back, because it is so much more lively, and will make everyone really get into and enjoy it more!flip flops are in season, once again!

They could be so distracting!
Oh an the ones that show they, "think" they are such wonderful Opera singers! They instead disrupt, and show out, causing many nearby to quite evening trying!

Flip Flops are in Season, once again! Even in the smallest of things, they flip and flop, just to keep everyone off balance, and excited about the crumbs from their banquet table!
Even while playing the end is coming, it's at the door card, they are building, new and elaborate headquarters, and branch faculties all the world, stuff that will take years to finish! Just like the new orchestrated song music, it's going to take years, maybe 10 or more, with just a few coming out every year! -

Interesting conversation with this pentecostal today at work. It made me think.
by joe134cd inat work today a colleague was telling me how his church had purchased a van for the sole purpose of caring for their youth.
he was saying every friday / saturday night the church organizes some event for its youth outside it's church services.
they also have other services to that are provided free of charge for its members.
