  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.

  ...that district overseers are now being used as circuit overseers!!

  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?

  i just got information that there is going to be a short 10 min meeting.

  with elders and ms after the first meeting of the week during the co visit.. this is in addition to the usual elders/ms meeting.. it might just be for my congregation, but is this something new?.

  I always find it interesting how "in the truth" they have meetings that are ABOUT meetings.

  OUTLAW -

  I know it's a journalist who wrote the title of the article, but any self-respecting scientist would refrain from using the word "proof" as it is used here.

  There is evidence. . . it is probable. . . yes.

  Proof. . . No.

  As one of my professors said, "Other than using the word 'proof' in math or logic, remove the word 'proof' from your vocabulary."
