Some thoughts on the new midweek meeting

the new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.

here are my thoughts on how it is going so far:.

1) elders are looking frazzled from being on virtually every meeting and having to prepare unfamiliar formats for items.

Somebody told me that in their congregation, the local needs part was about the new format- And that all 3 demo parts are to flow together. So not only do the publishers have to concoct their own demo, they have to call the other pubs who have demos that night and make sure they all flow together! How's that supposed to work? What about when somebody doesn't show up? What a logistical nightmare.
The whole thing is a stressful trainwreck. I absolutely hate it.
Our hall was one of the 'lucky' ones to host the annual meeting, so we were set up with an expensive projector system. Now when we have to play a video, the brothers have to rush up to the stage, and clear everything EVERYTHING out of the way of the screen. For a 2-minute BS video. Then rush back up and put it all back. What a colossal waste. Those stupid silhouette videos don't even need to be seen! Why can't they just play them over the speakers, there's nothing to see! Lemme close my eyes and guess what's happening- a frumpy sister with limited vocabulary is giving a magazine to a fictional householder who actually let her finish a presentation? Wait, was I right?...
Our elder body is very old, and I feel sorry for them having to work so hard. Doesn't the bOrg see that no young people are stepping up? And seeing how punishing the schedule is for the older ones is certainly going to scare them off even faster.

Way to make that 'load lighter and more kindly'...

Ooh! Does this mean that we can boo when somebody gets disfellowshipped? It's only fair.

"If the publishers choose to applaud, the elders should not discourage them from doing so"
There's something wrong with the past/present tense in that sentence. How can the elders discourage you from doing something you already did? Or did they expect the elders to yell "Hey! Stop that! Hey!!" when people started applauding?
I want to be the first guy to stand up and do the dramatic slow-clap when the next reinstatement is announced.

One time I heard scratching under the floor beneath my bed. It was a giant rat. I would have preferred a demon.

Every car I ever owned was never good enough. People griped non-stop about this car being uncomfortable, too low to the ground, no cup holders, no rear AC controls, too high to climb in, old van with only one sliding door, the sliding door isn't automatic, etc.
I always kept field service in mind when buying cars like a good dubbie should, but I gave up eventually because the root of the problem is, the 'friends' were too snobby to ride in old vehicles. If it's not a 2015 honda then forget it. Well, how are we supposed to afford brand new cars when we're supposed to be poor? Hmm?
Cars were always a touchy subject with me. I started to purposely leave things wrong with my car so I didn't have to drive. "Sorry brother, my car is acting up, can you drive?". I should have bitched about their cars, but I couldn't bring myself to 'return evil' to them.

A Seal Ring bearing King Hezekiah's found in Jerusalem excavation, with ankh symbol and winged sun

from a story in the jewish press:.

quote: "the city of david excavations of the jerusalem hebrew university on mount ophel, at the foot of the southern wall of the temple mount compound, have yielded a sensational discovery: a seal (bulla) with the name of king hezekiah (727-698 bce).".

"king hezekiahs bulla was discovered in a garbage heap that was dumped during or shortly after hezekiahs time, from a royal building that was used to store food.

Why didn't Jehovah know the flood wouldn't work?

this has been something that is bugging me lately-.

jehovah is all knowing.

he knows that to do away with evil, he has to do away with satan.
OverlappingGeneralizations

That's what I mean- you'd think if he went through the trouble of killing everything and everyone, he'd take the extra step and go ahead and kill satan while he was at it.
