    It was either her Circuit Assembly or Special Day. The District Conventions are in the summertime. As for the context of the material, I can only guess:

    Preach more.

    Give us your money.

    No college for you.

    Obey us or die.

    If she admitted it was "so boring" that is a good start. With out knowing my guess is the assembly was about the following:

    Do more service and place more magazines

    Attend all meetings

    College is bad

    Internet is bad

    and finially,

    We are very very close to the end.

    Once you seen one of these wastefests, you have seen them all. It really makes no difference how long they are as to what the content is--the longer ones contain three times as much crap as the shorter ones do.

    Jesus approved the 'Faceless Diseased Slave" do you approve it... (pause for applause)?

    I saw a JW assembly hall near Fort Lauderdale, I wonder if that's the one your JW acquaintance went to. I toured that hall, and it is really nice. Good landscaping, nice pond, modern interior.

    They have French and Spanish language circus assemblies there too. I think you'd get just as much out of a French assembly as out of an English one. Just as much sleep, I mean.
