  Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?

  2. beliefs

  the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.

  the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.

  i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

  there was a time they preached the great tribulation was a short period of time between the fall of babylon and jesus coming back to save them, now they realize there are difficult years ahead of us, watch this latest morning worship video by per christensen on this subject .

  Generation X,,, is the generation who may have begun the "wake up'' from the Borg.

  In the mid to late 1990s.

  Its easier to dodge out of the assembly these days because its usually just governing body praise.

  First Church Service at 55 years Old

  i went to a christening at a church today, a black church.

  it was an incredible experience!!

  women were an active part of the service, and the people were very welcoming.

  SouthCentral;

  I think its just part of the brainwashing & the isolation strategy the Borg uses.

  Did your witness family have a 'Thanksgiving' that wasn't on Thanksgiving?

  by SydBarrett in

  my family had several elders, ministerial servants, auxillary pioneers etc, so it certainly wasn't one of those 'barely in' families.

  but in certain small ways, i think mine were slightly less hard line than some other families i've heard stories about over the years.

  one example was the 'fall dinner'.

  It seems to fit. Shorter dayys,, cooler weather.

  Seems to fit with entering a cooler season. Thanksgiving does.

  The CONNventions;;

  Some of its nostalgic in a way.

  The cheap soft drinks in a can. The frozen orange juice. Frozen pudding,,,,ham hoagie,,,,,

  ,,,,,these small perks made the 3 or even 4 day boasting sessions a 'lil more bearable.

  Growing up as a kid in the Borg the motivating incentives to surviving each day of the convention was....

  A meal in a restaurant

  & a refreshing night on the waterslides & the pool.

  There,,,, that was incentive to surviving each day of the assembly..

  You had that,,,,,,to look forward to!!!

  A whole bunch of people,,, lets say around 60 people,,,, several families.

  A few families would roast turkeys,,, others bake apple or pumpkin pies.

  Some would bring ice cream,,,

  Others would mash potatoes,,,

  Some would bring cranberry sauce,,,

  A few families would make salads or coleslaw,,,,

  And they would always rent some dance hall about a week after or before Thanksgiving.

  What would happen to a JW for celebrating Christmas?

  mark jones writes:.

  if they were spied upon and it was reported to the elders they’d be “invited” to a judicial committee whereupon they’d be cross examined in a locked backroom by three men acting as judge and jury to decide if they are guilty.. .

  if the elders decide that they are guilty, they’ll then decide if the person is sorry.

  I was on the ball & bolted out of the venue just when the final dude finished his talk. Between then and the other guy coming on stage & giving his comments.
