    I never could figure this one out. I get to sit on my ass and have my balls securely fastened to my underwear from sitting too long for only one day instead of two. Was that supposed to be special?

    I had one day of my weekend ruined by spending it in a smelly assembly hall listening to the same crap I heard at the Special Two Day Assembly.

    Could someone at least tell me why this assembly is so goddam special?

    It was special just because of that...it was only one day to be bored out of your brain instead of two! Now isn't that special???(best churchlady voice inserted here...) :D

    Hell no, ain't nothing special. JW 'tactics'. Imagine if it were just an "Assembly". Big deal. But add the word special and it brings up in the mind something special - unique, one of a kind, different. In bethel they allways use acronyms - Special Assembly Day = SAD, it definately is!

    Well it's special because the GB says it is.. and all good obedient DUBS just accept that and don't ask any questions...

    They should've changed that for the year 2000 and called it "Millenial Assembly Day". Now that would have been special!

    I guess it's kind of like how the new releases are nothing but rehashed crap. However, it's still new!

    It's special like the special class at school. 3rd rate teachers speaking down to low IQ children who would be happier eating crayons.

    SPECIAL Assembly Day....that's the best that the marketing dept in Brooklyn can do to drum up some interest. I think it's funny that the jw-consumer keeps falling for it year after year.

    It's only special when you take a break and go out to the vehicle, slug down a few shots, turn on the tunes, and hope all of Dubdom will go away. Other than that, I recommend wearing togas instead of tight underwear.

    Actually, there used to be 2 2-day circuit assemblies. Because of the need to allow more circuits to use the assembly halls and to cut down on the workload of the COs and DOs (and some reasons I am probably ignorant of), one of these assemblies was reduced to one day. I think to appease the oldtimers, they called it a "special assembly day."

    They had Bethelites come out and give the public talk...I preferred the DOs.
