Circuit Assembly Notes (page 2)

I wonder where they get the money if they end with a deficit? Do the elders and the COs ante up?

Mister Biggs

Good question, blondie.
Maybe someone in the know can provide the answer.

I always presumed they always got enough dosh after the announcement was made; else they topped it up with the regular donations from the individual congregations to the circuit. I have never heard a special appeal or any resolution at the KH that asked for extra money for a Circuit Assembly. I would like to know what happens too.

Following on… Have you noticed that recently, at the Circuit Assembly baptism (depending on whether your hall has a pool near the stage), the chairman doesn’t say “Can you please reserve your applause until the final candidate has been immersed” like they used to? This means that you have to clap yourselves silly after every nut has taken the plunge. Your hands get sore and you feel like a performing seal. I notice that some candidates get louder and more boisterous applause than others, demonstrating that right from the start, as a JW you have to book your place in the popularity pecking order!

>He said that they say this about JW's: JW's are the most God fearing people on earth.
He said that was wonderful commendation from such a respectable source.<

>In his first talk he mentioned how the Catholic church is in shambles because of the pedophile issue. He mentioned how their cover-ups are costing the church money and members. Naturally, nothing was mentioned about the JW pedophile situation.<

Let this be a lesson to all Watchtower supporters everywhere. This someday is going to happen to YOU...your head will be sh*t on someday.

I wonder, did he really say he was quoting from the Catholic Encyclopedia? I looked and it does not mention JW's anywhere in the book.

Matty - I used to work in accounting at District Conventions. The donations on the last day afternoon session are usually the biggest. Those are the donations you don't hear about in announcements. But it's been a few years since I've been behind the scenes...haven't been to convention or circuit assembly for 4 or 5 years.

Matty-
The pool at Buckingham (PA) is openly next to the dining area. Everyone claps after each dip, just as you said. Also, everyone claps right after the baptism talk prayer and also as soon as the baptism song is over, everyone claps. Jw's are some clapping fools! LOL!

seedy3-
I, too, tried to find that quote and as of today, I haven't found it either. They mention nothing about JW's. So, the question is, where does this quote actually exist, if at all?

Everyone claps after the closing prayer...

This is confusing..are they clapping because it is over
or clapping because they are thankful? Sometimes I didnt clap
and people gave me funny looks. Of course people give me
funny looks now....but now I am fabulous

As to donations to cover the convetions:I think they should-
