"They've liberated women to the point they don't know what to do anymore.."
I'd have known what to do- walk straight outta there! HOW do they keep any sisters attending, when many women are in the job force and/or have a college education? It just amazes me they're willing to submit to that crap.
Look around, Brother Billy-Bob CO: Your next janitorial job supervisor may be a woman!
That elder's comment to wives telling them not to aggravate their husbands just burns my butt. It shows their ignorance of domestic violence. If you are married to an abusive man, they will hit you no matter what you do!! Been there, done that. I tried walking on eggshells, making nice-nice to him--no dice. This kind of comment puts the blame on the woman (as they usually do).
The last DC I attended was in Birmingham, Alabama in 1985. I was 17 years old and felt stifled. The only talk I can still remember was the one warning us young 'uns about the danger of music. They listed several songs (one was Sympathy for the Devil which came out around 1970). Each song they listed was in my record collection. This was back when things were still on vinyl. God I'm old! They were telling us the new songbook had some up-tempo songs just for us kids! My best friend and I almost puked in the floor.
That afternoon session just beat up the kids. Oh, and the evils of college were drilled into us too. No time for that!! THE END IN COMING!!!!! We should all pioneer, and think about staying single so nothing detracts us from the ministry. Marriage leads to children and who wants to have them in this world?
Wow, since I started writing this, memories of that convention are coming back. Is it too early to have a drink?
Oh man, that was really funny and I needed a laugh!!. Wow, things have really deteriorated to a far lower level than I can remember back in 1995 which is I last attended. Guess I didn't miss much (chuckle). They are really using their thought control, mind numbing techniques to the full now!. I saw this coming when in 1994 they started asking question in the WT study which were not answered in the paragraph and training people to answer on command to what was not established in the text. I feel sorry for the children, let the adults drink their coolaid if they so wish. Thanks be to God I've been delivered from that darkness.
Best wishes,

"Dalie-p,
Doesn't make sense, why did you go if you hate it so much?"
Because I'm still "in," (although fading) and I know my wife apreciates me attending with her.
this year, I'll be drinking some vodka, that might make it easier to fall asleep. And earplugs. don't forget those. yay I can't wait.
What I hate about summer TV-Reruns
What I hate about summer conventions-RERUNS!
They've already done this stupid drama! I remember the altar splitting scene from the a convention back in the 70's!
Someone mentioned the possessed girl from two years ago. That was a re-run as well! It was done in the the early 80's....
As bad as the "tea towel on head" dramas are, I really prefer them to the modern day dramas from a few years back. Nothing but talking heads, and boring,boring,BORING!
"let's all sit around on couches and talk! While Sister No-Life heads to the "kitchen" to "wash dishes" (how'd you like to get assigned THAT dramatic part, ladies?!)
AUUUUGHHHH, I month to go, and I gotta sit through this drivel myself! Kill me now!
Anyone remember the drama where Jezebel got 'thrown' out the window or some such?
Yeah, those were the DAYS! We had the seats that made it look like she was being thrown off the stage. My buddy was on the other side and watched her fall three inches. "It was totally lame!" he told me.
Or how about the one where Lot's wife turns into a pillar of salt? That was coooool! Even though those effects suck, they were still amusing. More amusing than some guy standing there saying "Brothers, are we not happy blab bla blah?" (clapping). Or those new dramas where people dress up like JWs and discuss some mundane thing like how pagan birthday cakes are. It's funny how those dramas aren't memorable like the ones where people dress up in bedsheets.
And everyone gets RIPPED OFF now! There's only one drama per convention instead of two.
Also, it doesn't surprise me if they recycle the dramas. They get to recycle the props and the drama tapes, just like the literature is recycled.
Speaking of recycling drama tapes, which one of you NAUGHTY apostates put them up on WinMX for downloading?
what is a good drink to have before and during the assemblies???
DRAMA??!!
OMG! They are even cutting and pasting the dramas now!! That's the same one I saw in the late 70's.
Except when the altar split in two all this poisonous yellow smoke came out. Even back then the special effects were corny.
Another thing why is it that in the dramas nobody says:
don't, I'm, you're, we're, isn't. Do they really think that do not, I am, you are, we are, is not, sounds more like biblical hebrew.
