  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.

  You can't explain something that doesn't make sense.

  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?

  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.

  i just wanted to share my excitement.

  for the first time in almost 30 years, i am not attending the memorial tonight.

  instead, i am spending the evening at home, celebrating with a glass of scotch.

  I got my Memorial invitation today but I just couldn't

  some days ago i posted on another thread that if i ever did get a memorial invitation i would ask for more to give to friends and family but in reality i was going to use it as toilet paper.

  the old lady was just too nice.. i honestly thought she was selling something but nope lo and behold she was a jw giving out memorial invitations.. as soon as i opened the door she hand it to me all the while saying i was invited as well as anyone else in my home to this "very special event" which was the celebration of christ's death.. so i played the role.

  i looked over the invitation like a curious first timer and as i flipped to read the back i paused, looked up at her and said surprisingly "oh, you are those ... um, .... witnesses, jehovah's witnesses!

  Way to go Tenacious! You treated her with respect and she stuck around and listened to you. Who knows?
