  i moved into this new cong for over two years now.

  we have this younger couple that are part time co's.

  i know that they would be busy serving a cong when they are asked to do so, but that is not too often.

  When I go in FS, everyone is wondering where the heck these guys are. They don't show up at the arrangements. They are phantoms, I only see them appear when the regular CO appears.

  They are Reg pioneers, so they must put in 70 hrs a month. How is this done?

  I seem to remember a brother in the 70's that seemed to enjoy using that masturbation gesture. Every time he made a point, without fail, he gestured as if he was masturbating. All in the congreation wanted to tell this guy to stop it, but, it was his artistic expression...kind of like a Michael Jackson thing.

  7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

  i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

  i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

  had to reference 1 cor.

  Don't worry, they will have Obama Care to fall back on.

  In Canada they would qualify for a pension of close to $900.00 per person. Just add that $700.00 to that and put them on the Infirm list and they will be doing a lot better than the average Canadian.

  I wish that some of the GB members would have a mandatory retirement. In fact I wish that they would give the GB members a Performance Review, or Job Performance Evaluation. Oh ....sorry...I forgot....That's coming when Jesus comes again to inspect.

  EVIDENCE CONVENTION-ATTENDANCES ARE IN DECLINE?

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are many threads on this forum about the stultifying tedium of the conventions.

  memories of one convention merge with every other convention over the years with few sticking out as high points.. in recent years, there have been lots of anecdotal reports (primarily from western countries) of an astonishingly low number of baptismal candidates at these conventions, and in particular district conventions - especially compared to the higher numbers who presented for baptisms in earlier decades.

  is this decline also reflected in general attendances at the conventions?.

  I think that Friday attendance has been declining for quite some time. In our area some choose to break up the days by attending an assembly in another location at a different time. The three days are getting to them
