just how much the talk has to change this year...and this for the first time in my life. OTWO and Snakesinthe Tower and I are supposed to miss this year for the first time ever, but I may go just to see this first hand, and use it as ammo. I guess if I attend I may be considered to be one of the "once a year hypocrites" but the local dubs need more bad things to think and say about me! Funny, but the elders all know I think the service is BS anyway.
I e-mailed my elder/dad and asked him if he knows just how much the talk would be changed. With the "new light" there should be no more need to spend half the talk on educating everyone how they better not partake since they can only be Great Crowd, and isn't is too bad that for decades WT shut the door on heaven for me and nearly all dubs.
I posted about a year ago how much easier Field Service should be now since most people called on already have the heavenly hope, and dubs no longer need to talk them down to the paradise earth. The "new light" being that the 144k are still being "called up" means that anyone called on may be of the anointed, just like anyone in the hall may be as well.
This being the case, I kinda wish that everyone who has ever posted on JWD would attend ANY memorial, and enjoy a glass of Merlot and a cracker. We should just keep the plate and enjoy the look on the passing brothers face...tell him you are eating the whole thing, but need to wait for the wine to wash it down. If you can not get the whole cracker down with one glass...definitely ask for a refill or go get the bottle yourself....oompa
