What I Hate About Halloween....
by konceptual99 in....is that it has totally wiped away the distinct celebration of november 5th and bonfire night.
fireworks and bonfires are still ubiquitous this time of year but it's just merged in with halloween which, whilst always being celebrated, was not as promoted and so overwhelming as it is now.. bring back the guy!.

Love the comments! When I was brought up as a Witness my parents did not allow us to attend any displays due to the religious history of the event but we were allowed to watch from our bedroom windows like some poor Victorian paupers peering through the frosted panes at the rich children enjoying their presents, as if characters in a Dickensian novel.
What I found out in later years is many Witnesses did not really worry too much and would attend public displays. We went and watched our local big display over the weekend along with all the torches etc. etc. I know elders attend and there are loads of IGs going round of Witnesses going along.
Having your own firework party this time of year is a deffo no no but the whole entry into winter with jacket tatties, mulled wine and chestnuts is really nice.
The overtness of Halloween just seems to spoil the cosy side of our particular take on this time of year...

P.S. Sorry for those outside of the UK but this is a bit of parochial soap boxing. -

I know that there was a congregation disbanded in Portishead, near Bristol.
Does anyone else know of any others that have been "let go" in the south of England recently?

Yet another item about funds. The mixed messages here have never been so exposed. Time and time again we are told change is for anything but financial need yet the begging continues. -

CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...
by JW_Rogue inat the latest co visit something very strange happened.
during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.
upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

If I was still an MS I would have asked what his group overseer thought, perhaps asked him how many times he had worked with him over the last 3 months, what he thought of the quality of his ministry and what first hand experience of his ministry was. Basically, anything that shows looking at a bit of paper is meaningless, emphasising that if love was at the heart of things then the elders would be looking at the big picture and not silly stats that can be made up.
However, I gave up playing these silly games a couple of years ago and just glad not to have to do it anymore.
