Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, and blah. Monotone, Monotone, Monotone,
Monotone, Monotone.
You were right, Moxy. What did I expect? I left early so I could catch the last part of Stephen King's "Rose Red". I really wanted to stay for the "local announcements", but couldn't hack it any more.
THEOCRATIC MINISTRY SCHOOL song 204
Br. Smith was the Chairman and School conductor. Looks just like Bush jr. Wears a bow tie.
Isaiah is the bible book they are currently "studying". Maybe that's why I heard Jesus' name a total of 1 time, maybe that's not the reason.
#1 Isaiah-br. Uhron(snicker!)
Similar conditions exist now as in Isaiah's day.
Fulfilled prophecy-no doubts!
Reference to 9/11
New weapons in Isaiah's day as now(Iwish he would have elaborated on that)
Is 6:8-Send Me! Send Me!
Many references to those who didn't obey, who wasn't faithful- a real doom and gloom talk!
Bible remains doctrinally unchanged since Isaiah's day(Really?!)
Authenticity UNQUESTIONED(Oh, really?!)
Bible is MODERN BOOK(oh, really?!)
Bible Highlights- br. Amenrud
Most of his comments had to do with rebelliousness, bad seed, vineyard not good, all these things of course were applied to our day. What a suprise.
#2 Talk(Is 2:1-17)- Young man about 13, can't remember his name
Poor kid. Stumbled a lot. Went overtime. Br. Smith didn't just say need to work on time, he rambled on telling the kid from the platform that "we need to get together after the meeting". Kid must have felt he was going to a J.C.!
#3 Talk (Reasoning book, p.164 par. 1-3) Sis. Amenrud
"Heavenly hope all there is?" Basically same old tired shit about paradise earth, 144,000, etc.
#4 Talk (More about heavenly hope and those on earth) Sis. Cantu very HOT looking, btw.
Interesting that she pointed out that there was no difinitive scripture about living forever on paradise earth, but since Mat. 5:5 say "meek will inherite earth", it must mean that.
SERVICE MEETING song 196 br? (Couldn't understand a friggin' word this old dude said)
Mention of Sunday's public talk- "Origin of the Universe" (Oh, this will be good!)
Turn in field service time!(what a suprise!)
Literature offer: "Life, How Did It Get Here" and "Revelation" book.
Magazine presentation(Given by very HOT sis.) About Marriage(I know what she was thinking!)
Bro. Smith- "Parents-Train Your Children From Infancy"(There goes another generation down the shitter!)
Children exhorted to answer questions from literature in own words(yeah, right!)
Well, I left after this part, because I could!
Btw, I got to the meeting 25 minutes early, and only 2 bros. talked to me. I didn't recognize any of them.
They questioned me, and I told them that it's been several years since I've been to a meeting, but I was familiar with their beliefs.
I told the bros that "since 'geddon hasn't come yet, I better go to the hall and see wassup". I also asked if there's been any recent "new light". The bro. thought for a minute, and said "not that I know of".
Well folks, I'm sure you've been fascinated by this boring rubbish, so I'll let you go- until next meeting time!
