Thanks for the reply. He is not a new CO. This is maybe the third visit so he knows all of us pretty well.

Maybe it's just his thing, but he hasn't done it before.

Guess I just have to wait and see. Probably nothing special.

Is there anything you could do forever that wouln't get boring?

not sure when i came to this conclusion but i can't imagine living forever.

after a while i think i would be completly bored with everything.. not saying i wouln't like to live for a few hundred years or maybe even a few thousand if i could travel through space and discover other universes star trek style.

but the thought of living forever sounds like it would eventually become a complete drag.. maybe i'm wrong, maybe after a thousand years or so you would foregt all the stuff that happend at the beginning and just start over in an infinite loop..

Scriptures for brother taking field service group
by FL_Panthers in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i have recently been given the privilege of taking the field service group.. .

can anyone give me some scriptures i can use to encourage the group?

can you also give a reason as to why these scriptures are helpful to our ministry.. .
molybdenum

Knowing that probably the last thing most of the b/s want to do is actually go from house to house,taking the field service arrangement would be a great opportunity to use scriptures like...

Mark 6:30,31. Jesus encouraged rest. Probably this is a good opportunity to apply that encouragement.
You could assign one group to go to a peaceful place like the library and take a nap to meditate on Jesus words.

Another group could be assigned to park witnessing.
Ecclesiastes 11:1 could be applied. Sitting by a lake and throwing the tracts and magazines in it would be very therapeutic.We never know what the result of that could be.

If there are enough to make another group they could be assigned to go to the local cemetery. Ps 115:17. There they can find a lot of people resting and not praising Jehovah, so it would be a good place to practice presenting the magazines. The reaction from the those RIP would probably be about the same as the one that would be found in the the house to house work, so it would be beneficial to hone witnessing skills.

Probably those scriptures would be good.

Who actually writes the kingdom Ministry?

What motivates someone to write a blanket

condemnation of people who are not JW's?

Para 2 page 2...

Punctuality has become the exception
during these last days when many peo-
ple are lovers of themselves and without
self-control.

How do they know how punctual (or not) people are.

Also it depends on the culture.

In some cultures not being

punctual is part of the way of life.

No one thinks of it as being "wrong".

How do they get to print such comments wihtout any support

for the statement whatsoever except a loose connection with a scripture

(2 Tim 3:1-3) which could be used to "support" any negative statement.

Yet, I can see the heads nodding during this meeting part....

(Yeah..people in the world are always late and it really terrible isn't

it. I thank Jehovah I am not like that.......white noise .....ssssssssssssss)

I wonder how the KM is put together. Anyone have any insight on this?

From the Governing Body

obey obey you have no choice .

we are the ones who are god's voice.

faithful and discreet we take the lead.
molybdenum

Obey obey you have no choice
we are the ones who are God's voice

do as we say and not as we do
or we shall soon dis-fellowship you

Faithful and Discreet we take the lead
the Watchtower is all you need to read

We created JW(dot) ORG
just to keep you in the borg

Apostates sites don't look or see
in case you find TTATT

Donate to us your hard earned loot
so we can wear a Gucchi suit

to fly the world delivering talks
about tight pants and lascivious walks

We change things around from time to time
even though there's no reason or rhyme

Make sense of prophecy, no not us
just read and obey and have full trust

that what we say is straight from God
we know its true and you should nod

your head in agreement and give us, the slave
your undying devotion and honor and praise.

If you obey us you will live, not die
and you can add that as another lie

Yes, the Governing Body, we really are
that fact we will broadcast near and far

Remember, obey obey, you have no choice
we are the ones who are God's voice.

Humbly yours

No more circuit assemblies
by justmeok in
1. jw
2. friends
i heard from a reliable source that there will be no more 2 day assemblies, but instead 2 one days each year.

anyone heard this yet?

supposed to start new service year.
molybdenum

Talking of assemblies in the past, I remember, with a great deal of mental anguish, the 8 day assembly

I attended as a teenager in 1969. I was living in London at the time and it was held at Wembley Stadium.

Strangely enough I downloaded a report on the assembly from here just the other day

https://archive.org/details/ReportOfThe1969PeaceOnEarthInternationalAssemblyOfJehovahsWitnesses

The report is almost as long as the assembly. But I remember on the 4th day I had had enough.

I walked out halfway through and went off somewhere to decompress.

How on earth could the WTS have felt that these assemblies were beneficial.

All I can say is that happily those kind of assemblies were never repeated ( at least I think so).

Any predictions on here about shortening the District ( or soon to be called Regional ) convention to 2 days? 1 day? Half a day?

......please.

CIRCUIT ASSEMBLIES KEEP SHRINKING IN SIZE - WAY TO GO!!
by steve2 in

2. beliefs
the recent boe letter announcing changes to the duration of circuit assemblies was warmly received by congregations the worldover.

it was as if the brothers and sisters were already in the new world for, upon hearing this news, there were no tears at all.

instead, it is a humble acknowledgement from the gb of the mind-numbing, yawn-inducing 2-day circuit assemblies.. .
molybdenum

They probably are doing away with the title Special Assembly Day

because the acronym spells SAD which is what most witnesses were when the date for the

meeting was announced and even more so when sitting through the meeting itself.

Now it will be just two CA a year. What does CA stand for I wonder?
