The last meeting I attended I put in ear plugs and read the bible. I have long hair, so no one noticed.

Tired of the Hypocrisy
When I was little I used to color in the dinosaurs on the inside covers of every bible I could find. I figured there was artwork in all the books, magazines and even on the bible, I should do my own. I developed a pretty good talent as a sketch artist during meetings. As time wore on, I would make fun of the elders' hairstyles, or rather the lack of any style. Then my knock-out gorgeous sister would reel in a new convert by telling them that they could only date her if they were jw's. So these poor saps were led to the slaughter by her good looks. Not even my incessent mocking could tear them away. During meetings, I would grab my sissy's book and draw a picture of her boyfriend and have the latest boyfriend in any set of dire circumstances. The funniest one came when I drew a picture of her boyfriend Robert. I never liked this creepy little turd so I called him FAGGY. * (I was only 16 and meant no offense to gays. I could have called him satan and it would have been offensive to the devil!!) Anyways, I drew this caricature of this gargoyle with a dildo in his ass and lipstick and wrote underneath it, "My Faggy" as if Sissy had drawn this abomination! Then I replaced her book under her seat and waited for the fun to start. About the 2nd page into the study the whole hall heard this girlish shriek...."EEEhhhh" not her....HIM! He hollered at her, you call me FAGGY TOO!!???
I got up and ran away, since I could feel that hot Elbow of Death on its way! Laughing all the way outside as I heard everyone crack up! HA HA HA HA HA
Fun times!

Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit
'take notes'--LOL--I balanced my checkbook (would even call the bank to check my balance at the meeting--wireless headset!!!) and would write down the bills that were due. Once someone said how studious I looked taking all those notes!!
yeah, i'm quite the student. . .

I like adding an artistic flair.
Watchtower study is good if you take a marker and make modifications to the pictures.
Other meetings require a blank piece of paper. Try making sketches of the more up-tight attendees doing things they wouldn't normally do. Then pass these around to the little kids around you for a laugh.

why go? Just get up in the morning and say "I'll start screaming and foaming at the mouth if I have to go to another meeting. You'd better go without me, honey, it will be less stressful for you. If you have to watch me for signs of hysteria, you won't enjoy the meeting."

Namaste
Do some journaling.
Write about the things you want to remember and the things you want to change and DO with your new outlook on life.
If you have little ones, start a journal for them with all sorts of stories about them and their lives. Write an entry in which you promise to do your best to get them out of a life of being a JW.
