I went and listened to the circuit overseer talk last night.
He started off by saying how many Jws are in prisons in other countries and how we need to be prepared for when we are persecuted by the governments because it will happen "soon"
Near the end of the talk he got into how our own minds often imagine the very worst case scenario and that this isn't good. He said it is not good for our spirituality to dwell on the worst case.
WTF? He started off the talk to get us to imagine the worst case then ended it by saying not to.
I really should record this stuff it's unbelievable.
