<<< I always thought the proper question was: "What is worn under a Scotsman's kilt??" to which the Scotsman replies "Why, nothing, its all in good working order!" >>> Boom Boom!!! Its an auld classic.

APOSTASCOTLAND

by Dansk in

friends

would someone seriously consider arranging for an apostafest up in scotland next year?

i know i'm asking this early but i feel it would be good to put the feelers out now.. obviously, it would have to be a location easy to get to - so that means stornoway is out!

sorry, ross & xena.

The Scotsman

I would love to come but it would be very tricky.

but can i suggest Glasgow - best for shops, eating out & pubs. Nicer people as well, though I am totally biased.

Remember - GLASGOW = Centre of the Universe.

i was at the one day assembly at the weekend - we are the clay, jehovah is the potter.. this was the first assembly i have been at as a "thinking" person.. one of the talks mentioned how the world can "prime" our minds.

he said - people just follow what they hear, do not question it, believe anything.. and i thought - hmm, i am surrounded by people like that!!.

a young sister i know was up for baptism - when she stood up to say yes to the couple of questions i just wanted to shout "dont do it".

The Scotsman

I meant to say that the word is out regarding the generation change - loads were talking about it but never from the platform.

Some Bros very exited - the end is nearer than ever before.

Also some chat about the Dragnet, do not know what the change is with that.

((( So there was no "new light" at this assembly? )))

Not directly but change was hinted at a few times.

Are you adaptable to change, the bethel brother asked? Do we follow the direction of the slave whatever it takes?

Definately preparing for changes.

2 were baptized - lowest in years.

Rugby World Cup is ours!!!

just had to rub it in!

The Scotsman

I am just glad the English did not win it. We would never have heard the end of it.

In the British press they are still going on about the disallowed try.

In the end the best team won.

I was at the one day assembly at the weekend - We are the Clay, Jehovah is the Potter.

This was the first assembly I have been at as a "thinking" person.

One of the talks mentioned how the world can "prime" our minds. He said - People just follow what they hear, do not question it, believe anything.
And I thought - hmm, I am surrounded by people like that!!

A young sister I know was up for baptism - when she stood up to say yes to the couple of questions I just wanted to shout "dont do it".
But I think I would have been huckled out the door.
Its amazing - she is a lovely lass but her meeting attendance is poor, yet she was still approved for baptism!!

Also another talk mentioned how the media can affect our faith. He mentioned a few newspaper articles that apparently had mis-qouted the society.
It was noticable that he did not mention articles about the UN & the NGO status nor the child abuse case recently in London.

The speaker said this - "The media is an instrument of Satan. He manipulates. He distorts. He promulgates lie after lie through international media".
Many in the audience nodding there heads in approval. Oh dear.

The bethel speaker mentioned how many are simply leaving the organisation.(A remarkable admission)
Apparently those leaving have this attitude = "Your not going to tell me what to do anymore!"
They now reside in the "darkness" outside according to him.

A quick review of all the other main points -

(1) Buying a new mobile phone every 6 months is wrong and shows a lack of contentment.
(2) Higher education got battered again.
(3) Internet = danger.
(4) Pioneering is the best thing you can do.
(5) Their are no excuses to slow down spiritually.
(6) Someone who Swears in private is living a double life.
