by sir82 in

from someone who attended:.

there was a big elders meeting in columbia sc on saturday june 9.. around 240 congregations, 2000+ elders.. the society wants to build a brand new assembly hall in columbia, sc, to handle the huge influx of jws moving to the us southeast from up north.. they expect to have it done in 34 months (finished by april 2010).

total cost estimated to be approximately $8 - 9 million.. they want to have the whole thing paid for by the time the building is done - no long term loans.. they "strongly suggested" that each of the 240 congregations commit to supporting "their share" of the expense.

Hey BTS, it's more of a divided issue. Elders and MS's I've talked to about it say no. I tell them I just go for the food.

Going to the convention Sunday with mum...help me Jehoover! save me Satan!

by Witness 007 in

last year i missed the convention for the first time in 30 years, no problems.

this year my old non-english congregation is traveling to my new city with my mother and they have heard i'm in-active.

so, i've had tonnes of invites and my mum has asked me to come.

If it makes you feel any better, myself and others attended all 3 days and haven't been kicked of JWD yet. I tried to record the DC so I could post audio of it here, but I couldn't stand it at times and started listening to some worldy music. Closing prayers are much better when you have rap music blasting in your ears.

Did nothing this morning. I had a root canal done yesterday. Took 3 tylenol pm's to help me sleep. I will pretty much take today off and hit it hard tomorrow morning.
