Question

i am sure that this has already been discussed, so maybe someone could direct me to the correct link.

i just haven't been able to access this site as often as i would like.

at the meeting tonight (i wasn't there but was told about it), the brothers were told to pack up a "survival kit" with enough provisions to last for six months - water, medications etc.

i hope this comes up - if not you can copy and paste.

very humbling and eye-opening to see ourselves in this perspective - how arrogant, self-righteous and oblivious we are as a species.

i received an email from a member who is not comfortable posting yet, says for now he just lurks - but he/she made a very interesting comment about the gb giving instructions to the elders about making adjustments.

here is an exact quote: "for all you brothers that have responsibilites giving talks, public talks on the platform, assemblies and convections coming up, you have some work to do.

you are going to have to relook at those scriptures you are using, and make some adjustments in whatever it says from the bible.

BUM WITNESSES

can anyone save me the stress of listening to the self-appointed faithful & discreet slave for 3 hours, and give a clue as to roughly at what point in the proceedings was the derogatory term 'bum witnesses used, and by whom?

i'd really love to extract that comment and send it to a weakening witness, to highlight the judgmental arrogance and name-calling being displayed.. many thanks in advance folks!.

Beginning of Electronic Assemblies?

do you think this could have been an experiment to see how smoothly these events can be processed, and what the reaction is from the rank and file?

it would sure save a lot of money if events like this could replace at least the one day circuit assemblies.

there has to be some recognition that the "flock" is becoming weary and they don't have the funds to be travelling to these events.
