Chariman is always scripted. My family had a laugh when I used vocabulary that was "so not me" Word like "edifying" , "happified", etc.

I was chairman for CA once, it was completely scripted and I felt that my performance was being scrutinised by the powers that be. Such a priviledge to be used like a Muppet.

I missed the link but I'm sure it looked ridiculous. I had a feeling they had to be because by the time the chairman gets to the part where they "Please be seated." or something like that, everybody IS already sitting. It happens every time and I always wonder why they even bother to say it.

oh ok I skimmed the second page an didn't see that someone did post a part of it. Yeah they might as well as the prayer too.

The convention "Chairman" writes the script for District Conventions and the Circuit or District Overseer writes the script for the Circuit Assemblys- at least that's how it was. If you think its ackward in English- try a foreign laguange when the script has been written by a non-native speaker!! Really a mess- most of the native speakers are cracking up at the poor translation choices.
