  "If it is not too rainy, I plan to see it this weekend."

  Chuckled when I read this. . . .

  And I second BOTR as far as seeing anything in IMAX or 3D. . . . instant migraine for me.

  i am off to the circuit assembly tomorrow.

  not really looking forward to it as it is the first one i will go to after finding out many things on this forum.

  since the last assembly i have read coc, in search of christian freedom, and some of the gentile times reconsidered.

  In accord with what has already been suggested, when I attend an ASSembly, I view it as doing some investigative, social-psychological research. Often the goal of my "research" would be to bring up a "dissonance-inducing" point with my wife.

  I must admit, though, now that my wife has begun to Awaken! herself, she has taken some of the wind out of my sails.

  Now SHE has begun to view it from this standpoint, and she can tick off what the essentially "cult-y" aspects of the ASSembly are for me.

  Honestly, the last one we had, I spent almost the entire day in a nearby Starbucks. That's not a bad option either (if you're a coffee drinker)

  Critical Thinking from the Wife !!

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the other day i had a couple of drinks and went off on the gb (again), about how they are just posturing and have no clue.

  i said if they knew what they were talking about we would already be in the new world, but we're not ..so they dont...the end.. well i got some push back as would be expected, but what surprised me was what she said a little later.

  firstly she didn't pay attention to the public talk this past sunday and instead read an article in a watchtower on stress.

  Funny you say this. We all see this as an obvious downsizing move, just like any corporation would do. But after the announcement my MIL commented how they must be doing this "for all the new circuits being formed."

  And exactly where are these new circuits?
