  took one for the team tonight, and went along to the memorial.

  my first time in a kingdom hall for just over a month.

  it was as expected, dry, boring and extremely uninteresting.

  Notes from "Safeguard Your Conscience" Special Assembly Day

  by WinstonSmith in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently we had the 'privilege' of attending our local special assembly day.

  the theme for this year was safeguard your conscience, and you guessed it, they looked up every reference to the word 'conscience' in the bible and then wrote a talk about each one.

  it was most definitely a case of "pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip.".
