Mine was this weekend but so is the annual music festival so sacrifices had to be made. I know there were some threads on this already but I can't seem to find them.
Anyways, I know dear old Mom will be there to ask me: "What points did you bring home from the assembly."
Come to think of it: I don't even know what the theme was this year!???"
I attended Saturday afternoon of a one-dap special assembly. I typed my notes in "Word". Will try to paste my notes of the Bethel representative's last talk. Hope it goes well.
Moving Ahead with Jehovah’s Organization -
Well it didn't go well. Sorry!
Just say these things ...
CANNED ANSWER
They really focused on putting Jehovah first and that we need to not grow cold and weak in these last days. There was some experiences on people who have had some troubles, but put Jehovah first and trusted in him and things are getting better. They pointed out that people will hate us one day, and pulling free of nonbelievers now will keep us evenly yoked in the end days to carry on threw it. Also they mentioned how it is key to remember prayer and not be fooled by Satan's world of faults information, in forms like the internet that is full of Satan is trying to pull you away. They even had a couple mention how overuse of the internet, nearly ruined their marriage and more important, their relationship with Jehovah. Overall, it was very encouraging and sister such and such is pregnant now and remember that little boy "place name here" he is a ministerial servant now and engaged to be married.

lmao! That was great!
That would fit perfectly on the back of an "I went to the Circuit Assembly, and all I got was..."-shirt.
I just spoke to my dad, as it was their assembly today. Apparently only TWO people got baptized today. And guess what? Both were born into the "Truth"----they weren't converts. Gee, that's got to seem real encouraging to the 1,000 + that have spent tens of thousands of hours out in Service eh?
Arrrggggh, Mary! You're killing me here. LMAO!
