Well, Cong Overseer to be technically correct due to the recent change. I figured most people would know/remember PO more than the new wording.

Just happened 2-3 days ago so I can't wait to see what happens. I assume that he will at least be deleted and probably publically reproved. I doubt DF unless they can prove this stealing has been going on for a while.

Circuit assembly tid bit

by Iwonder17 in

another way of saying this would be...stop thinking and listen to us.

this is something that i am having a really tough time with and have spoken to the elders about several times.

it would seem to make sense that i would be able to get reasonable answers to some questions, and if not they could at least be honest and say "i don't know".

Something else that I caughtat the CA was, they kept using the phrase, "Stop letting lingering doubts concern you"

No that would be too easy. They tell us, stop thinking and it will be all better

an ice-cold pepsi or grape kool-aid would finish the meal, thank you.

Baptism numbers decreasing?

by Mattieu in

jw
friends

the last 3 weekends have seen 3 circuit assemblies in victoria with over 1000 attending each circuit.

yet only 10 baptised over the last 3 weeks, including 3 last weekend.

i can remember a few years ago when only 1 bro was baptised at a 2 day convention.. its funny, when 10-20 were being baptised at each circuit assembly back in the 1980s & early 90s it was always brought out that this was a sign of jehovahs blessing upon the org.

Iwonder17

Went to assembly a few weeks ago, only 4...usually 10-12 in my circuit.

As Jim Carey would say in the movie "Cable Guy"

DOWN DOWN DOWN, the red knight's goin' Down !!! ( scene at midevil times....) yeah, I'm a geek

Recent assembly

by Iwonder17 in

1) stop using internet,facebook,myspace,email,texting and spend more time studying and in service.. my mate quit their facebook page when we came home lol.

2) maybe i am just more tuned into it now, but they mentioned "apostate" a lot more this time around, espicially when talking about the internet.. it keeps me thinking, if there is nothing to hide, then why is there such a big push not to look?

it's like an ugly girlfriend not wanting her boyfriend to look at the girls on the beach .

Not the Special assembly day, it was the regular 2 day assembly

Were You Joyful When A Meeting Had To Be Canceled?

i was never thrilled to have a meeting during inclement weather.

if it was seriously snowing and the weatherman suggested to stay in because of the conditions, i rarely went to the meeting.

why take a chance, right?

Iwonder17

HELL YES. It is winter time where I live now and I pray for snow on Tuesday evenings
