Ok - so we were visiting friends in Madrid this weekend, and went to the zone talk.
around 13500 in attendance at an old bull ring and the talk was given by David Splane.
Improvements for the field were to make sure that everyone is preached to - there is a tendency just to preach to south americans and ignore spanish people - also magazine placements are down, they have to be improved.
The title of the talk was "are you wearing saul's armour", and was talking about how we can fight our giants wearing Saul's armour or David's way.
1st giant- education.....we don't need a full education, he then trotted out examples of brothers that had left bethel and became high ups in companies. My "favourite" quote from this section was "children, remember your parents want you to serve jehovah full time, don't disappoint them". 20 minutes he spoke about university, and is the closest they came to banning it
2nd Giant - peer pressure....not to be afraid of being different. In all honesty aside from the section about forcing your kids to go to meetings, as we often have to do things we don't want...this section was actually quite good.
3rd Giant - ourselves and disappoitment....not to let negative thoughts win. Again, this section was actually quite loving - and practical. However it was tainted by the first one :)
I don't have a recording, however i will trail around for one
