As Aaron said, I hope that others are motivated to express their frustrations (whatever that may be) in the LC. Now going to trapped reply, trapped I have to say that I to get tiresome of the non stop repetition of the HWMR more times than I want. Not just lords day meetings HWMR time, but everything in the LC is so repetitive and lifeless. Everything they do is the same, repeat the same ministry, play and sing the same songs, do the same activities, hang with the same people (various meetings). EVERYTHING IS SO ROBOTIC. They are so obsessed with keeping everyone inside this "Bubble of insanity" that they dont realize that the easiest way to burst that bubble is to go just absolutely crazy on every repetitive activity.
HERn, I will have to say that I complete agree with you in the full timers objective in bugging people so much. There is one thing in funding people for church service, but looking at what do the full timers do, its really disappointing when all they do is try to deceive 18 year old college students and be constantly berate saints to come to meetings in order to fall for their "plan" and result a bunch of people coughing up money. 1. Trick college students 2. Get people to give money, that summarizes a full timer. Its honestly disappointing but the local churches cant really do much more.

We had professional full timers serving in our locality. At the beginning it was the FTers together with the community saints reaching out, feeding and opening their homes to new college student. But it degraded into community saints driving the vans 100% of the time to college conferences and outings so the FTers could monopolize conversations with the new college students during the drive. I once told a FTer brother I was tired of driving and it was his turn. So we changed seats and I fellowshipped with the new ones. My wife and I were older successfully raising children and grandchildren and had much practical Christian family living to share with them. They seemed more interested in this than “God’s current move on the earth” and “the importance of having only one trumpet trumpeting”!!
