I liked your movie excursion last year, Mary. Why were our assemblies always so far away from anyplace fun?

blondie, that sounds awesome. Hope somebody has a copy!

I fell asleep with a copy of Awake under my head.

When I was young, my parents would skip the afternoon session and let us go swimming at the hotel.

I also took the passive resistance route by refusing to wear a name tag (going on 20 years now), bringing glass bottles, eating and drinking during sessions, going out for lunch, and taking coffee breaks off premises during the session. I also don't buy parking passes in advance. I don't go to the DC I'm assigned, or at most one day. I skip sessions. I arrive early and leave late. I fantasize during sessions.

Here's a transcript of the BBC reporter's encounter with Jaracz at a 2002 DC (Oklahoma?)

BETSAN POWYS (BBC REPORTER): It was a long conversation and we asked if he'd be prepared to answer the same questions on camera. He refused. So it was back to America and back to a Jehovah's Witness convention in Tulsa. We'd been told we'd find a member of the Governing Body here. Ted JARACZ is one of the men responsible for the church's child protection policy. For more than two months we've been asking them for an interview. We want answers to some simple questions. Why do they keep their database of suspected pedophiles secret? Why don't they report all allegations of abuse to the police? Why do they send children back to the arms of their abusers? They refused to talk to us. But here at last we had our chance. Mister JARACZ, tell me about the database. How do you justify keeping a list of people, men in some cases who have confessed to pedophilia, but you have not reported them to the authorities. What justification is there for you to keep that list?

TED JARACZ (MEMBER OF THE SUPREME GOVERNING BODY OF THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES): You know, you're from Britain. You have a privacy law. You have a directive from the European Union. You observe that, don't you?

BETSAN POWYS (BBC REPORTER): So when allegations of abuse are made, is it alright to keep them private?

TED JARACZ (LEADING MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES): I think you were answered. That question was answered strictly to your satisfaction.

BETSAN POWYS (BBC REPORTER): Can you answer it now?

TED JARACZ (LEADING MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES): I'm not going to repeat. I'll just tell you exactly and you will see it in writing. It is all in print. You know the Bible says "Do not go beyond the things that are written."? We don't go beyond the things that are written.

BETSAN POWYS (BBC REPORTER): And that was that. No doubt, no second thoughts. Just a simple belief that Jehovah will sort it out, a belief for which others, younger and more vulnerable, may continue to pay a price.

Insomniac

During one assembly, I sat with a brother I liked, and the two of us "took notes." Except, what we actually did was write down dirty stuff we wanted to do with each other, then we'd exchange notebooks and read what the other had written. Well, at the time, it felt incredibly naughty.

The last assembly I attended, my worldly boyfriend came with me to the city, about an hour from the town where we both lived. He planned to do some shopping and whatnot, whilst I sat through the propaganda session, and we'd maybe meet up that evening. Well, I sat there during the first talk, looking about me at all the people, and they just looked like brainwashed zombies to me, and I got very sad, and the brother giving the talk said something nasty about feminism that rubbed me the wrong way, and I got angry. I realized it was a beautiful Saturday morning and my lover was three blocks away having a beer while I was wasting my life in a whitewashed tomb. I stood up and left, taking my purse and cellphone, but leaving my bible and songbook on the seat. I met up with Honey-bunny at a nearby bar, announced to him and the bartender that I'd just escaped from having my brain sucked dry by the witnesses, then I took him home and made passionate love to him (the boyfriend, not the bartender) while those in the assembly hall grovelled through another hymn to his majesty. I still attended a few meetings after that, but I guess we all knew it was the beginning of a very happy ending (no pun intended.)

When we were much younger, my brother standing on a balcony above the food preparation area, spat and it went into the carrots that were being cut up.

Went to a hotel when I turned 21!! which was at a CA.

At another CA my friends and I got pretty drunk and went nude swimming in the motel pool. Heaps of dubs were staying there.

When I was a teen ager we got into a fight with some other dub kids from another state.

BUt.....the best....for us, the last DC we went to, my wife and I arrived half hour before lunch, sat where we could be seen by many who knew us, then had lunch outside, socialized heaps, then when the lambs were all called to come back in and sit down, we headed for the carpark and went home. The best convention ever!

I did major petting with an elder's son in the parking garage during one assembly...he kept telling me - "keep your eye on the prize" LOL

Whilst at the last "international" we were all told NOT to support any of the "worldly" food venues in the area. Virtually straight after the announcement, our son and his cousin turn up with food from MacDonalds. All the people around us were aghast, you could see their mouths open in shock and they were waiting for us to "discipline" these naughty boys. But we were too busy,........ laughing til we nearly cried. It was ironic and typical of kids to do that. These two then had to sit there and eat their maccas, while the smell permeated the air for all and sundry.

Hilarious! However I believe the official JW term is "heavy petting."

What is the naughtiest thing you ever did during a dist./circuit assembly?
