  @Unshackled: HAHA I thought the same thing! They get kookier by the minute.

  Someone posted a while back the formula to figure the cost of an assembly out.. Not sure if it was the real deal, or something made up.

  "Take Refuge in Jehovah" Ps. 118:8,9

  Morning

  9.40 Musical Prelude
  9.50 Song 49 and Prayer
  10.00 Why do you we need a refuge?
  10.15 How Jehovah is our strength in times of anguish
  10.30 Lets help our neighbor take refuge under the wings of Jehovah
  10.55 Song 68 and Announcements
  11.05 Lets Imitate Jehovah, being a refuge for the rest
  11.35 Dedication and Baptismal
  12:05 Song 7

  Afternoon

  1.20 Music
  1.30 Song 23
  1.35 Experiences (Old guy who got baptized and is going to aux pio for 30hrs)
  1.45 Watchtower Summary
  2.15 Youth, deposit your trust in Jehovah (I see double entendre)
  2.30 Is your home the "port of your delight?"
  2.45 Song 69 and Announcements (Attendance, Finance Report)
  2.55 Our Spiritual Paradise, The refuge Jehovah provides
  3.55 Song 121, Concluding Prayer

  Regarding the assembly hall, our Special day was held there, and during the announcements it was said that we should treat it well as it's our last time we are going to meet there. (shortly after that someone threw a bag of idk what down the balcony into the seating area, almost hitting someone. HAHA! You could see some attendants going crazy) Obviously it has not been sold yet, and the rumors have quieted down, it's still on the WT chopping block. The elder didnt get off the stage without telling everyone "Make your checks payable to Circuit XXXX" (Not revealing for fear of possibly getting revealed myself)

  At the start of the assembly the circuit bank account had a "whopping" $500 (collective gasp), add 2 announced donations of $100 each, left them with $700 spendable cash pre-donations. Cost of assembly around $5,000 or so (just one day) Why did they decide to hold all the Special Day Assemblies there beats me.. Could have shut the place down until a sale finalized..

  Ft. Lauderdale (Griffin Rd.) Assembly Hall

  i'm a little shocked they would go this far, then again jehovah's quickening the pace...?

  i was at my last day of the spanish 2-day circuit assembly when they went over the announcements, one of them the economic report.

  it did start off good (for them) mentioning last assembly's (district i assume) actual surplus after the operation costs were taken care of.

  Yes it is the one built in the 80's with the pond and the beautiful beveled walls. BTW that pond gets filthier each year.. My mother contributed to the building effort as well.. It's of course about using the WPB facility more given that it's only 30 minutes away from this one. As for how many circuits, I presume all Miami-Dade and parts of Broward Counties, possibly the keys..

  The rumor mill is churning of a possible university purchasing the land (20 acres, they bought additional land in 1991) for $25 Mil.. But we'll see what develops, I'm anxious to see what they read at my congo this week...

  I fixed the link I posted above: http://66.55.51.198/default.htm?cmd=ZOOMPARCEL&folio=503934010010

  Update: the next Circuit assembly WILL BE (even if Griffin is not sold yet) held at WPB Convention Center, It was the definite last circuit assembly there for this section of the circuit.

  I was at my last day of the Spanish 2-Day Circuit Assembly when they went over the announcements, one of them the economic report. It did start off good (for them) mentioning last assembly's (district i assume) actual surplus after the operation costs were taken care of. Then the tone changed and the one in charge of giving the news got a bit annoyingly loud.. "As for this assembly's Operating Costs which are of $16,000~ we currently only have been able to acheive the mark of $5,000~, leaving a deficit of $11,000~..." You could see some flustered faces all over after he went on a banter urging everyone to donate. After that they announced an elders meeting during the lunch break.

  Well, I guess we were getting warmed up for the bad news at the end. The whole afternoon program was brought back 10 mins earlier for this announcement by none other than the District Overseer; it went something like this:

  Well everyone, we have made history here today. A Series of firsts and lasts. You may ask why? Well Brothers and Sisters this is the first Assembly of the new Service year 2010-11! We have the priviledge to be one the first series of congregations to meet for the assembly this service year. Now why last? Well this marks 30 years of service of this assembly hall, it has grown old, and fallen into some disrepair. The Assembly commitee got together and figured what should be done along with the guide of the Governing Body. After much prayerfull consideration we have decided that remodeling is much too costly to do, having the $11,000 deficit we have... The Governing Body, with the aid of Jehovah has decided to put the whole Assembly Hall property for sale. This will be the last time we will meet here.. we might meet once again here in January for our Special Day, but for the moment it is uncertain. For this is news that I myself also just got. The Society has sent letters to all the BOEs in all of the circuit's congregations with further details and instructions. Currently the plan is for next assembly to be tentatively be held at the West Palm Beach Christian Convention Center, which is far underused during Circuit Assemblies, that hall is also costly to maintain and the best solution is to consolidate the circuit assemblies over there.

  ...Later he went on about not to doubt that this was Jehober's decision And not to blame the Gibbering Body for anything. (a few biblical texts) This was followed with another plea to donate Song 4 and Prayer... They're bleeding out for sure..

  Many brothers we're a bit solemn and most of them were chatting of memories that took place there... I am sad to see it go because I went there since I was practically born and I actually had fun, but I'm actually glad the cult will have one less brain washing center..

  Something to peruse:

  Property records for the Assembly Hall

  Main building http://66.55.51.198/default.htm?cmd=ZOOMPARCEL&folio=503934010010 ..at the back theres a empty lot and another lot the relief supply warehouse is at, I assume they're gonna get rid of that too..

  ) and i'm willing to scan sections from it to those who don't have the book.

  YKnot: Thank you for the warm welcome! Ah oh well then. No one in the family has been a regular pioneer, so we don't have that. Family has a nice library I can contribute to extj.com, Old lit like "Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" in spanish.

  Pubtruth, that's a terrible secret to have to keep. I hope you don't think your feelings are sins that must be confessed to the elders.

  Jamiebowers, no way! I'm very happy with who I am and want to get out of there ASAP.
