I'd go with ya! bloody tyrany of distance .. how come you're so far away?
That would be awesome. If I ever travel to Australia we could do it...maybe get a group to go as a pre-apostafesta sort of event. A reminder of why we celebrate being out. lol
Ever go back to a meeting "just for fun"?

I think it's good to go back with your eyes open. I found the memorial very interesting, I found myself reading all the scriptures with new 'eyes' looking at all the surrounding chapters, giggling about what was said on here about 144,000 and how nothing else in the whole chapter was literal but they decided that number is!!
I came out of there a lot lighter. I dont have any illusions you could go there and upset anyone, they would just think you were one of those crazy postates and that they were even more right!! But it might be good for your own process, bit like closure.
Bit like bumping into your ex when you've found a real love, you wonder "WTF did I ever see in them!!

That's not my idea of fun. More like...torture.

Hey Wolfgirl, are you saying you wouldn't walk a thousand miles to attend a Kingdom Hall Watchtower Study™ with the aids of the bible? One blissful hour of a theocratic ministry school™ graduate giving a talk from a prepared outline fed him by the Society™, very likely a talk™ you've heard before. This followed by several minutes of hearty joyous singing then an hour spent bolt upright in a hard chair studying™ the Watchtower™.
Ah that wonderful Watchtower magazine with it's numbered paragraphs and matching questions at the bottom of the page. Those marvellous study articles™ aimed at adjusting fine points of doctrine, congregation policy, cementing loyalty to the almighty Society/Jehovah™.
Ah the memories of reading the questions from the platform and the spiritually mature ones raising their hands in anticipation of being chosen .. the scriptural quotes and brief theocratic explanations .. ah the suppression of independent thought and dodgy analysis by the weak, the new and the stupid ..
Ah, the worldwide Sunday Watchtower study™. An altogether stupefyingly dull experience

Fun?
That reminds me of something my mother said to me about something my daughter said to her. My mother asked my little girl what she thought about going to church. My girl said it was alot of fun. My mother tells me that my girl shouldn't be having fun in church. I said why not? dont you enjoy going to the kingdom hall. My mother answers that she doesnt go to have fun or enjoy herself. I wonder if she ever thought about what she said.

For me, the point of it being fun has not been reached.........one time I thought of going in a tight, skimpy outfit with my bearded, sunglassed boyfriend.........but, I didn't want it bad enough.......lol........
