Odd Announcement at District Convention
by daniel-p inwhen i was at the latest district convention a few weeks ago there was an odd announcement made.
i don't remember it very clearly, but it was something about noah and how he knew what rain was and that it must have rained before the flood because of that.
also, there was something mentioned about the water canopy and how 'our' understanding of it may not be right.

Convention Report - Deliverance At Hand?
by daniel-p inso i just got back from the convention - yes, feel pity on me... i had to attend all three days, spend money on a crappy hotel, sleep in a crappy town, sit on my ass for 8 hours a day, and all just to hear about the same old crap you can read in any watchtower.
i didn't take notes because not only would my head have exploded from the sheer boredom and stupidity, but i would be responsible for all your heads exploding as well.
are there any highlights?
