Going to another congregation and making believe to be a good JW (page 2)

troubled mind

I was thinking this morning that if I get called to attend an elders meeting I now have the perfect shirt to wear .......it is a black t-shirt with glow in the dark skull and cross bones and says "Good Girl Gone Bad " acrossed it ! ( of the don't wanna look like the good jw anymore class)

This is even better. There was a couple who were DF'd who moved to another area where they were not known. They pretended to be interested, studied, made rapid advancement and were baptized! It took many years before they were found out and ousted.

What a waste of time.

I can see the humor in it. But I have to be with Wasanelder Once, waste of time.

If I was somewhere with nothing to do for a couple hours, maybe show up in an unknown congregation, proferring a CoC in hand, telling the publishers that I just wanted to know if what Franz stated was true, and was going to observe today. Sit in the front row and read like mad, making notes all the time, taking pics with my cell phone, and crossing myself Catholic style as I wept and cried 'Jesus please forgive them.'

Now that would be fun.

I wouldn't waste one more hour of my life listening to their lies no matter how big a chuckle I might get out of it.

I went to a congregation in downtown Minneapolis when I was 18 in 1962. It was awful. Old stale air building. All the people were O L D no young people at all. It was like a time machine. I went to meetings there a month before anybody greeted me.

It was like a congregation of the living dead. Nobody smiled. Nobody looked at anybody else. At the Watchtower study, nobody raised their hand to answer . . . ever. The study conductor was glazed. He's ask a question and look right, then left then right and then he'd wait and wait and then he'd have the reader read the paragraph. The reader was OLD. Once the reader read the same paragraph he'd just read and I had a panic attack right there in the splintered wooden back theater seat with the broken seat springs.

I've done it a couple of times, I usually come in very late, sometimes I act like a interested wordly person, you can get away with more that way. I went to one meeting where they recognized me, and everyone that came up to me the elders quickly approached them and told the person not to talk to me.

I do it only rarely, about once every 2 years or so. The meeting have gotten more and more boring every time, I pitty the poor jws who have to listen to this shit on a weekly basis, just looking out at those attending you can see the bordum, and depression. Know wonder there is so much mental illness and suicide among the rank and file, the meetings are all designed now to be guilt inducing, and the logic used by those who teach from the platform is mind numbing and not really given with any conviction just a paroting the party line.

I went to a meeting in Central Florida 2 years ago... yes, the land of the living dead. I raised my hand to answer a WT question 5 times, finally the conductor called on me. He asked "who is the Son being mentioned in Hebrews chapter 1?" I answered, "Satan." WRONG, but tactful. The entire congregation were shocked. I left after that and went out to have a drink in the parking lot. I then returned and raised my hand a few more times, but no bingo.
