Governing Body Meeting today - Agenda item ... (speculation alert)
by freddo inopening prayer: (lett) dear heavenly father jehovah god please bless this meeting with your loving direction, in jesus' name amen.. morris the turd: well brothers we have a problem - 99% of the worldwide work figures are in; and those lazy slackers in the field have come up short so what are we going to do?.
sam turd err ... herd: get the circuit overseers off their behinds to tell the secretaries to phone every non-reporter and inactive publisher and "remind" them that they "must have" done some preaching in the last six months and offer them the "fifteen minute" option.. david ex-splane: and if that doesn't work let's introduce some overlapping figures from last year; it worked on the generation chart that i explained so well!
kenneth "give us our daily bread" flodin said so!.

only the "good" stuff.
then with the new clam workbook, no stats at all.. i wonder if the yearbook will soon only contain "positive" spun stats.

by freddo inif you are a fader or you have reduced activity markedly - say resigned as a pioneer or an elder or ms or gone inactive and still have some relationship with your immediate family or spouse - how do you stay positive around them when you feel like shaking them out of their stupor but believe deep down it would be counter productive?.
