baptisms are discouragingly low (21, combined), and circuit overseers have been primed to deal with assemblies where there are no baptisms; see these leaked 2018 instructions:.

A lot of North Wales congregations are assigned to the Liverpool Assembly.

That could be why the numbers are less in Cardiff.

Favourite Quirky / Low Budget / Non-Mainstream Movies

by Simon in

so the recent topic about film franchises got me thinking.

sure, we all love the big budget, mainstream releases that are so successful they spawn never-ending (it sometimes seems) sequels.

we could watch marvel and star-wars movies for the rest of our lives (and we might just ...).. but y'know what i love?

Streets of Fire is a 1984 film directed by Walter Hill and co-written by Hill and Larry Gross. It is described in its opening credits and posters as "A Rock & Roll Fable. The dialogue in the film sounds it was written by a monkey with a typewriter. So bad its a great film. Never get tired of watching it. GREAT MUSIC.

Has Watchtower taken the joy out of 'the good news of the kingdom'

by UnshackleTheChains in

i ask this question for the following reason.

i was sitting at the kingdom hall thinking about all the rules, procedures, policies, teachings that each member must follow ......or else!.

at the watchtower study we are reminded of the paradise earth where we will all be the same and happy.

Years ago talks and literature was about a in depth study of the scriptures and bible prophecy. Whether the prophecies were correct or wrong is beside the point. It was a bible based religion. Today all that is pushed is a life style that must be followed.
