Show Christ like love and applaud when somebody is reinsated just tlike they threw a party when the Prodigal Son came back home
Was it not standard practice to applaud when someone gets reinstated? I seem to recall claptor when the letter was read.
If you could give a "local needs" talk what would the topic be?

Local Needs talk:
*Run, don't walk to freedom!
*Parents gaurd your precious children from pedophiles hiding in the congregation!
*Elders now required to complete a state course(s) in dealing with substance abuse, homosexuality, domestic violence, child develepment, marriage counselling and emotional abuse.

Tonite special part for our local needs,,well world wide also,, we have a special part that will be given by Brother Wiltshire he has chosen his own theme:
"I hate the Governing Dickheads!!!"
It will be a 35 minute part,,free from profanity,,except for every once in a while,,when he refurrs to them as dickheads,,which is really not "that" bad considering all the bullshit we had to put up with from these,,,well ,,,dickheads,,can't think of a better word,,excuse me.
There will be no concluding prayer,,,,,

I would tell the brothers and sisters to stop being so Damn self righteous. The only person on this earth that hd a right to be self righteuos was Jesus and he was the most humblest teacher and man.
I really HATE self righteous jack booted breech wearing Self Righteous Bethel Elders. I remember once complaining to a stupid bethelite about this when I was in bethel and he told me "Well its better being over righteous than under righteous". I'll take one under righteous please with extra cheese!

Character development ( which the society frowned on in many quotes in the publications. They said they're main focus was on the preaching work, not character development)
The old Andrew Carnegie course should be mandatory for all bros "reaching out".
And most of all................Being Christ Like! (not just the preaching. You know.............HE knew how to show real love.
I regret the course I took for many years as an elder, but then again, I was a slave that really bought into it. Forgiveness is what I ask for being so blind if I have stumbled and offended any of my fellow humans in the borg.

Love.I would start by asking all in the congregation this one question,"All who know the meaning of Love raise your hand"?Then I would take the names of the brother's and sister's who raised their hands,then I would go sit down and have each one go up to the podium and explain it to all the others, sister's included.Wouldn't that take them by suprise, and it would be interesting to hear each one's thinking and see the action that they follow up with once they leave the platform.

Mine would be about the design of living spaces, especially gardens and how our living environments can help to either hinder us or assist in developing our more positive emotions.
Essentially, landscape and garden design and the built environment, effects on society collectively and individually.

Celtic,
You have a good point about landscaping,,I personally like pristene untouched nature,,but enjoy the contrived tame nature of human gardening, and landscaping,,which reminds me I got to do some indoor gardening.
