why do we have assemblies?

was the topic of the book/brochure study last week.. the answer not presented is that they are the organization's black friday.

stores do black friday as a loss leader to get people into the stores to spend money on more pricey stuff, not discounted.. assemblies are put on to give away books and other literature and have dramas to get people in to donate and contribute more than normally done.. yes, religion is a business.

To DA myself or to go to JC meeting, that is the question
by Crazyguy in
1. jw
2. friends
i just got done with another visit at my home with two elders and even though i tried to say very little they took anything they could as a disagreement with them as enough to say they may call a jc meeting after they talk to the rest of the elder body.

so since they are planning on dfing me any way, i'm wondering if i should just write a letter or go through with their meeting?.

it's so ruddy boring trying to recapture old ground, life is there for to be progressed on forwards, not ruddy backwards.. .

however, just this once, i will try to give you an insight into parts of my background, and hopefully, insights into the future.

i'll write not like usual, but hopefully, short punchy paragraphs.. .
