Convention Report - Deliverance At Hand? (page 4)

The part that really pissed me off is they had a scene where someone was being whipped and afterwards he had a shirt on with cuts and red marks all over to indicate blood.
My sister's child was sitting near me and asked me,, Is he really bleeding? Is he dead? Come on! was that type of 'bloody' scene necessary?

You have got to be shitting me.

These devil worshippers treat women always like crap - they say, "Paul gave us reason." Paul was a madman like Freddie Franz. Treat ladies nice, or they'll learn weapon sports. Go gals!

That part about submission of women makes me boil with anger. It reminds me of my senior year of high school. I was put in quite a unique position with a JW girl. Somehow, we ended up as the only two people in school in a drama class (don't laugh, we were connected to other schools via TV, so it was a high tech drama class). Her name was Kayla. I didn't tell her my mom was a JW and my mom didn't know she was in my class. Everyone in school thought she was a freak and I have to admit that until I met her, so did I. Somehow we bonded and became close friends, and because of her and my mom I got to see the JW's from both an outsider's and an insider's point of view at the same time. I learned from Kayla that my mom's best friends whom she considered the most exemplary people on earth were closet alocholics.

She was the kind of person that was so fragile and scared of life that she seemed to be made of glass and that a strong gust of wind might knock her over and she would shatter into a million pieces. Forbidden to go to college, her parents forced her into diesel engine repair school to spend the rest of her life as a mechanic. After graduation I never saw her again. If you knew her than you knew that she had as much desire to be a mechanic as Randy Watters has to be a ballerina. What a waste.

what is a good drink to have before and during the assemblies???

Vodka, I've been told; less of an alcohol smell; put it in a citrus soda. Just don't drive and be careful on the stairs. Blondie

Ah, daniel, that was a lovely review. I especially enjoyed your personal drama enacting old man in the toilet praising Jehoobie. Very funny!

So sad the dubs can't do better with the dramas, ain't it? But then, we wouldn't want to take up valuable service/meeting time having to practice too much or anything. Of course, the lamo pre-recorded dialoge is such a time saver as no one has to actually learn the words and can just open and close their mouth like a fish pretending they are actually speaking. What a blessing!

I think Prince should get to be in the drama for his DC....it would be fun to see him prance around with a dish towel on his head, waving his arms like a demented robot.

So daniel-p,
What did your wife have to say about the speaker's comment on "women being so liberated they don't know what to do with themselves"???

What always amazes me is how they got everyone to brainwash themselves into thinking they love the dramas when they really don't. As you said, it's boring and the special effects/acting are terrible--kids fidgeting, etc. Yet if you asked 100 jws exiting the stadium if they liked the program, 99 would say, "Oh, yeah, and I LOVED the drama," with wierd vacant looks in their eyes.

The CO actually said "they've liberated women to the point that they don't know what to do anymore" whereupon my mouth was left gaping and I looked around in vain for similar expressions of aghast.

I’m running around right now in fact, terrified because I’m too liberated I don’t know what to do with myself. What should I do first? Burn my bra? Boss my husband around? Change my oil? Break through the glass ceiling? Interpret the Bible without the aid of a penis person? Pray without a napkin on my head? j/k

OK seriously, I spent hours making up this convention program, posted it twice, and didn’t get one laugh. Not one!

Someone laugh please, just to inflate my ego! Scan of Convention Program
