Had my Hopes up for this Regional Convention (page 2)

It's the best ever!! Cmon stop being so negative people! Jehovah ha finally caught his people up with the times. They are no longer a printing press they have come movie production company!

Has anyone heard or noticed that they are slathering makeup on the speakers now? I heard this but I don't know if it's true. Apparently it is for the cameras! Ha! Jehovah must be smiling down on them now.

Now they get to wear jw.org pins and have the logo plastered anywhere they want. It was not too long ago they were being counseled for having God's name printed on gold and different items.

The new Return to Jehovah brochure is welcoming back any/all without questions it seems. Doesn't matter of you attended other churches, became political, celebrated holidays. Jehovah is ready to forgive and forget. Of course that is if you open you wallet and come back to him.

It's a whole new world in dubland!

Nope. There'll be questions, and expect even more questions if you admit to being involved with someone sexually or even with just yourself and some porno. They'll want to know all the ejaculatory details and what were you wearing at the time.

If you happen to have been DF'ed or DA'ed you'll have to sit out back from six months to a year and be a quiet little dubbie.

The DF'ed are best seen and not heard.

OK - you have sold me, and I will be beating a path to the nearest RC, to find out what the fuss is about.

Oh man, I can't wait!

Thanks for the overview James. How many came forward for baptism at the convention?

London: The best convention ever!

I have to second that for a great number of reasons.

1) All the videos kept it from being too drab and dry. (Translation: I had something else to laugh at.)

2) I missed half of the assembly, mostly at my wife's suggestion.

3) They released their first full length Lifetime original movie.

4) I saw a grown man cry on stage. (Seriously, during the last part Sunday where they have the video visualizing how everyone gets their own perfect beach island in the sun, the speaker said he always gets choked up when he sees it and started crying. It took him a minute to get his composure. This was more sad than anything. )

It was a little disappointing witnessing the death of the live-action drama, though.

I think the only thing that would get my butt back at a RC would be if a winning lottery ticket was placed under my seat

They've been calling inactive ones lost sheep for decades. Sadly, this is not what Christ meant when he was talking about the lost sheep of the house of Israel. He was talking about people who had a longing for God but "were skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd." (Matt 9:36,37)

Of course the Shepherd is interested in finding his "lost" sheep - they're his property. Besides, as any farmer will know, at least some of those loved "found" sheep will be destined for the slaughterhouse - that's how country life is: Meat production.

Hey, sheep, of course your Shepherd loves you - but before you get too misty-eyed, remind yourself why he went searching for you in the first place: You're his livelihood - pure and simple. It's city folks who have romantic notions about bucolic scenes of sheep running towards their loving Shepherd.
