the 2 day assembly is this weekend for our congregation.

the elders pretty much leave me alone during the year but when the circuit overseer is in town, they start hounding me.

i try to make it one day but can't tolerate 2 days of the assembly.

i saw losch at two assemblies and he struck me as the quintessential hardline prick.

i don't know anything about internal gb politics (who does?

), but if this guy were to assume an informal leadership role, the watchtower would swiftly take a swift turn down hardline road.

obviously with no end-time date being out there right now, the wt to motivate members.

stagnation is the word that comes up frequently on the board here, and a currently active member, i see it permeating the dub attitude.

so this week's study article was interesting in that it potentially expands the area where dubs can count their time.

We Don't Want to Know Why You're Leaving

our exit from the watch tower society was fairly speedy.

within about 3 months, we'd ceased attending meetings and lost all of our friends (apart from hobo ken and his wife).. what was shocking - and only confirmed that we were right to leave - was how our decision was met by our so-called friends.. we were leaving behind people whom we'd enjoyed friendship for over 20 years.

we were leaving behind friends who were closer to us than our own families were.
