    As some of you knew, my circuit assembly was this weekend (Dec 24 and 25).

    The theme was "clothe yourselves with the new personality".

    I guess the society has to reinforce the idea of humility, because apparently, you can't mislead haughty people.

    from the sound of the accounts report, people are voting with their wallets.

    Nothing particularly egregrious was said.

    Luckily my mother had a fever this morning, so we got to leave at lunch. I was so happy I couldn't even go to sleep during the morning session.

    I really don't have much to say, just that I'm home.

    During the WT study about 3 weeks ago, the conductor said that sheep (sybolic of what JW's should be) always listen to the pastor. and when being slaughtered they do not complain or rebel!

    I was about to say, if this is the case I rather be a goat than a sheep. I guess God wants to feed us till we are ready to be eaten!

    Merry Christmas to you, too, Richie!!

    Sounds like it was a beautiful one. Mine was spent cleaning my garage, though. I think I had the better time...!!

    -Aude.

    I always resented when they had assemblies/conventions on a holiday weekend, thus sucking up what little vacation time a witness had anyway.

    I am so glad you are here, Richie, I always get a laugh at your take on things.

    My weekend: shopping Saturday, cleaning.

    Sunday: had family over, a mix of a very liberal witness granny and my df'd son and wife, and fading son.

    It was a GREAT day.

    Yes, hubby and I are experiencing that right now. Hubby has to write a five page report, single spaced, on the meaning of meekness and humility. To be delivered to the elders along with his gonads in a paper bag.

    Wanna help me write it?

    Richie,
    If you don't like the JW Christianity why do you still go?
