  id like to know what the 'menu' was for the day.

  in some of your notes notice a pattern of self importance by any chance? and by the mentioning of the governing body or faithful slave in the prayers?
  

  i left after prayers often had ones saying 'and we thank the faithful slave for all our spiritual food..' and the constant mention of the group.

  little if any mention of Jesus being the king, our leader ,our mediator, our example.
  

  good way to reason that being discreet is lost on the leaders.

  I just remembered (dammit) another comment I heard.

  "When we watch each months Governing Body Hour on XX.XX.org."

  Is that like the old time Ted Mack comedy hour?

  You nailed that. I had friends that used to use the term "taking a grease" to refer to what those palm-greasers at the circus assembly had on their noses.

  He'll soon be able to buy his own Rolex, just like Sam Herd.

  I printed off a number of those pictures with the price of that watch included and highlighted, folded them neatly, then dropped them in the collection boxes as my "donation".

  I heard quite a few mentions of the web site, the TV site, the governing body. Mostly how spending our time watching the GB, listening to the GB, and donating to the org was the way to maintain personal peace. Anything less would make us feel a loss of peace in our lives.

  OFS. Do you know how many were baptized?

  Thank you for sharing.

  Thanks for the concise summary.

  You may have had several miserable hours at the circus assembly, but look on the bright side... I've been enjoying a wonderful Sunday doing whatever the hell I want!
