I'm at the Special Assambly Day entitled, Jehovah is our Potter we are the clay.
Interesting day. There was a talk in the morning session which included the news media as one of the tools that Satan uses to mislead us. They said we should not beleive everything in the newspaper and when articles are published about the JW's it is often lies with the intent to mislead. Sounds like they are getting the drones ready to not hear it when the sh!t hits the fan.
Another gem was the baptismal talk. The brother told the following story: A little girl wanted to get baptized. Her father objected due to her young age. The little girl asked her Dad, "If armagedon comes and I am not baptised will I be saved?" The father upon hearing the girls reasoning decided to let her get baptised. And she will be doing that today. What a great way to encourage our children to draw close to our loving heavenly father, cause if you don't he'll kill you!
During the afternoon session I had to go to my car. (I am on call and had gotten a call which I needed to address.) These two attendants are roaming the parking lot in a golf cart. So they see me in my car. They stop and one of them steps out and makes a big show of looking in my car. Finally he sees me in the front seat (don't know why he had to peer into my car to see me....) and comes over. He knocks on my car door under the guize of the is making sure I am ok. I tell him I am ok. Then he says, you know, the program started a while ago. I just say yeah I know, and then I laughed right in his face!!!! That would've have pissed me while I was still a slave, but now that I know I am free I just laugh at how ridiculous they are!
