  What would you talk about or ask when you ran into someone at an assembly?

  by Tenacious in

  i remember whenever we had an upcoming district assembly they would usually cancel the weekly meeting so it would be about 1 week (if you didn't do field service) until you would see members from your congregation again.

  and also other members from other congregations you may have attended in the past.

  do you remember how some members would embrace and scream for joy whenever they came across someone they hadn't seen in a while?

  “There are going to be two 45 minute symposiums BACK TO BACK?”

  and

  "When will it be over today? I gotta run to the store."

  @ Solz:

  I’m sorry to hear about the elder you knew. This organization has literally sucked the life out of untold numbers of people.

  Our congregation will be deleted

  last night was the co's visit.

  prior to his part, an elder had a part on following theocratic direction.

  it was about our congregation being deleted (there are 2 sharing this hall) and the people and territory being divided up to the 4 other surrounding ones.. they say it is not about numbers but about making best use of resources.

  My boyhood congregation is being deleted/merged. It has been in existence for at least 70+ years, if not longer.

  Interesting observations at an SDA church

  i’ve just attended a sda church service today.

  i have to say the attendance was similar to what i would expect to see in a jw service.

  the style and nature of the service was also very jwish (formal, drab and boring).

  There are 25,000,000 people that are in the SDA church. They’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

  for the second year in a row, the org has marked international women's day.

  this time, it's an article that lists most female bible characters in alphabetical order with a brief summary for each, topped by a picture of them in 'empowering' poses.

  rey and captain marvel would be proud lol.. .

  What your first realization of hypocrisy in this Religion?

  by days of future passed in

  2. experiences

  my mother became a witness when i was five and i believed that every witness followed what was said at the meetings and the instructions given.

  my naive belief carried on until maybe i was 10?

  at the old conventions, volunteers would come early and pack fruit into net bags so that it could be sold at lunch.
