They say that our spiritual food is sooo refreshing! It's "just what we needed"!
How did you feel after going out in the ministry or after a meeting?

In the last minutes of field service or a meeting, these days its almost as if i can't breathe until i get in my car and drive away.
I think its a new illness called Bullsh*t-Induced Asthma.

I got pretty "refreshed" every night in the hotel bar at the assembly

I was at the beginning. I really thought it was amazing stuff.
The convention that was held 3 years ago was the first one I just wanted to leave. I actually went there thinking it would "build me up" like all the others had done previously, but that one just got me angry. They way they just kept talking about how great they where and how special the FDS actually started to make me sick.
That was actually a year before I started to read ex-jw material. I was still very much a believer of their doctrines, but the entire thing seemed so empty. -

sometimes after a meeting -YES. To be trutful I find assmblies and 3 day conventions EXHAUSTING and alwys did. In the Public Talk on Sunday afternoon I nearly always fell asleep.

Preparing for the meetings and assemblies, especially when you had a part, was not refreshing. Sitting for long hours was not refreshing. Waiting for "New Truths" was not refreshing. Listening to the same ole' same ole' was not refreshing. Continually putting the "Carrot" everlasting life if you do more in front of our faces was not refreshing. Asking for donations without passing the plate,always a deficit was not refreshing.
Getting out of my suit, shoes and socks and having a cold one after the meeting, now that was refreshing!
