  my judicial meeting took place on monday night.

  i was a bit annoyed because the meeting centered on my private beliefs - things that i've already spoken to the elders about in the past many times before.

  i don't think i handled myself as well as i wanted to, but i guess i did ok under the circumstances.

  I had a feeling there would be more introverts here than extroverts, but it's too early to tell yet, so far 3 to 1.

  If only the new guidebook would enhance the teaching ability of the current brothers. . .but it won't. Talks continue to lull me zzzzz, and will probably always.

  What is everyone's thoughts on the diminishing quality of our meetings? What is the cause? What might be the solution?

  Nehemiah 8:8,9 shows that after a meaning was put into the law, and it was expounded, the people began to weep. Heck, you might wonder how the hell anyone would start sobbing over the dull, cut and dry Mosaic law, but I tell ya, them Levites were some good charismatic speakers. They charged the people, infused them with courage, brought them to a harsh realization of their shortcomings. They were a forceful inducement to make changes.

  Well why should it be any different today? We have the complete scriptures filled with an enormous amount of information, and yet the talks are as dry as a desert. I think that brothers who have no feeling for the truth shouldn't be allowed on stage. If your talk is not fiery, throw it in the fire.

  YOU MIGHT BE A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS IF....

  if "pioneer" is not a stereo, "new light" is not something in the housewares department, and "tract" has nothing to do with land or farming.

  if you know when nisan 14 of the jewish calendar lands in the gregorian calendar from year to year, and yet you commonly forget your own birthday.

  if "memorial day" isn't in may.

  If you spent days at a baseball stadium, never saw a ball, and didn't even have a beer.
  
  If you think "formal clothing" and "civic center" belong in the same
  sentence.

  If you wash windows or cars for a living and still own five suits.

  If you think nothing of letting your friends stop by to use the bathroom.
  
  If you know the cleanliness of every coffee shop for four towns around.
  
  If you think 2-door vehicles aren't really cars.
  
  If you go to Home Depot and go down the aisle where doors are displayed and you feel compelled to knock on them.

  If you can't buy a pair of shoes without thinking about how comfortable they will need to be while walking residential streets in 95-degree heat.

  If you have a tendency to refer to books by color instead of by title.
  
  If you have a shelf just for 192-page books.
  
  If you can't pick up a book, or anything else to read, without picking up a pencil or highlighter too.

  If you think it is complimentary to refer to someone as "a study".
  
  If you have "get-togethers" rather than "parties".
  
  If, after one of such "get-togethers" at your home, your house is not a mess and you have more food than when you started.

  If you realize things are getting worse, and you're thrilled.

  if someone is reproved by a judicial comittee but not disfellowshipped, how long does it remain on their record?

  5 years and then it's never seen again?

  or is it always there in their publisher record?.

  Dag Freepeace, you know a whole lot. I have no further questions, they've been satisfied by your answers. I checked through the elder's paying attention to the flock book, and I couldn't find the answers there, so thanks.

  So once privileges are back, what you're saying is that no written record of the action is kept any longer? What if the person were switching congregations, but already had their privileges. Would the new congregation have to know of the fact that the person was reproved?

  Thanks alot freepeace, you've been very helpful.
