over at channelc, you can find evidence of one of the valued reasons for having circuit assemblies.. they get to lie and deceive - away from the prying eyes of the public.. apparently, a brother novak informed the crowd that phil.
2: 9-11 - in which "every knee shall bend" to christ.
is a command to obey the elders.
There was one elder who had a wife who fascinated me beyong belief. This woman could not stay awake during a meeting. I spent countless hours watching her nod off and shake herself awake!!!
What a blessing you had in having this type of entertainment to keep your mind off the mind numbing drivel coming from the platform.
Ohayoo.......good morning
excuse me if i ramble...this is hard.
i have even avoided threads in the past where others have had to go thru this because i didn't want to face it.
guess i'm a wuss.
I am sorry about your loss.

if john kerry wins the election: will you respect him as your president?.
will you support him?
Out of respect for the office I would support him but I doubt if that will be necessary. It's easy for him to trash Bush for American jobs going overseas as well as the complex issue of global terrorism but I don't see Kerry providing solutions. Even former NYC mayor Ed Koch, a lifelong Democrat, stated that he will be voting for Bush.
if you knew that the policy was that there would be no more witchhunts, no more disfellowshippings or shunning of any kind, would you be tempted to go back?
I would rather perform liposuction with a straw.
this was one of the craziest things i remember about the summer conventions.
i would go into the sister's bathrooms and the mirrors would all be taped up with brown paper so that we couldn't look at our reflections.
were were amish or something?
Lets see now ...smurfs are bad...... garage sales can give you demons..... don't say bless you when someone sneezes and now................mirrors must be covered with brown paper at assemblies???!!!
Does one of the elders have to give some kind of kosher style blessing to the mirrors?
love_truth, in describing the utter dullness of jw assemblies and conventions, just gave me an interesting idea for a thread.
what were some of the ways you tried to make the hours pass?
some of mine: looking at the interesting refracting patterns the arena floodlights made on my eyeglasses when looking thru them at an angle.looking for people i knew from my congregation and others in the mass of people in the arena.counting the number of people leaving the section to go to the bathroompractice writing people's names in elvish scripthaving a conversation with friends a row behind me by passing notes back and forthseeing how many pages of my bible stick together when i slam a wad of gum in between its pages.. what else?
What about Mulan's BS Bingo?
That was a classic post. We should repost it for the Newbies.
Wait a minute.................................I am a newbie
