Great review DD!
I would also have been sitting there going insane as you were listening to that!
You must have really had to put on a brave face on the outside??

"They don't want to change their religious beliefs that contain the published ideas of men because of emotional reasons. .... Any religious ideas that are published by men should be rejected."
That puts us ahead of the game. The rubbish published by the WT men is rejected here daily.

We had a DEFICIT of $4,000 at lunch....
Isn't it amazing how there's always a deficit BEFORE they even know how much has been collected thus far and BEFORE the assembly is even partway through the first day.
...the Circuit had $25,000 on hand with the Branch
So...not really a deficit.
We must not follow evil ways. Any religious ideas that are published by men should be rejected....
Seems to me WT is greenlighting the idea that it's okay to NOT follow WT.

2) Hanging out or going into business with "unbelievers", even family.
Who the f*ck would want to go into business with another JW?

Money from Satan? Certainly not the toilet papers that are about to lose all their value. Satan wants you to have money, as defined by being able to purchase things. Satan wants you to have money that has durable value, not value that some scumbag Rothschilds can take away at a whim. You want to go shopping for Christmas? Do so. If you can get better buys on the Friday after Thanksgiving, do so. I, personally, would do more of my Christmas shopping the day after Halloween because it is easier to get around. Enjoy your money, celebrate prosperity. That is a good part of what Christmas is about.
There are ways to abuse or misuse your money, and Satan is against that. Giving it to the Worldwide Damnation Fund is the major way to do that--worse even than taking drugs or smoking (which are not advisable because they ruin your health and open your soul to angelic destruction). Wasting money on going to distant Grand Boasting Sessions, field circus expenses, going to Israel on short missions, or volunteering for short term projects is also abusing your money, and quite wasteful. Satan is against all that. Better to have fun with your money--there is nothing abusive about enjoying it or putting some away in the form of silver or gold.
Gay marriage bad? The way they are going on, you would think people are exclusively homosexual and reproduction is going to cease. Hardly. You see a very tiny minority of people that are exclusively homosexual, and that is not going to stop procreation. Many gays are bisexual, and will get into procreative sex on the side but primarily do gay sex. This is none of joke-hova's business. And yet, they expect people that are in long-term partnerships not married or family to be same sex? You know, roommates? Studies? People engaged in long term missions and mentor programs? If they are so against gay marriage, why are these relationships supposed to be exclusively same-sex? This, to me, is hypocrisy, which is far worse than all the "sins" they bash people for committing.
As for money, if they are 4,000 toilet papers in the hole, let them deal with it. Boycott any and all donations when they create a deficit or if you get negative value from the program. Spend the money on whatever you see fit, even Christmas. Or, if you can't or won't do that, or if you see fit to prepare for the coming hyperinflation, put whatever you were going to donate right into your local coin shop or online precious metal dealer and buy all the silver you can get with that money. You keep the silver. When the dollar becomes toilet paper, look and see who they are going after--the one that disobeyed joke-hova and bought the silver.

Sounds like a green light for MMJ. Although you will never see that in print.

This is off topic, and I apologize,,,,,,,,,,,,I can't start a new topic, and my posts are limited to 10/day.
Don't know why, and there are no pertinent messages in my "In" box. Did I piss someone off?It's not an issue ..... I'm just passin' through, but have a good 'gut' feeling about you, bro, so thought I'd post this on your thread === please, no enquiries or controversy required. :))
Hey, Data Dog! I didn't think you would mind 'too much' if I said this on your thread, as I can't create my own.
Anyway, good luck and good nite. I guess I'm not too welcome here anymore, and that's okay.
keep on keepin' on, Brother DD! you are gonna be okay, I know it. You are 'true.' xo

I attended the 1 day with my wife last weekend. What I found interesting was their was no mention or reference, at all, to ANYTHING that Tony or Sammy talked about during the Zone Visit fiasco. Nothing about 'tight pants, spanx, or for sisters to only marry a MS'. Wow! Even the CO's must still be trying to assimulate that crap from the Zone Visit talks. lol Or are the CO's just ignoring the words of the words of Christ's brothers?
just saying!

The "defecit" was definitely the most "memorable" thing for me:
