  I remember the images from the Live Forever book and other publications that had graphic Holocaust and other photos and illustrations – but we couldn’t see Schindler’s List because it was R-Rated??

  Also the flood account in the MBoBS had a illustration of a woman holding a baby and being stalked by a wild animal right before they drowned in the flood. That haunted me for years.

  Being spanked, pinched, swatted, and smacked was a fact of life in the KH. Two hour meetings was torture. The assemblies and 4 day conventions was unbearable – especially when we met at the Oakland Coliseum baseball stadium before they moved to the (indoor) Cow Palace. Sitting all-day baking in the hot sun watching people get baptized wishing you were the one going into the pool….(sigh). The food (especially the HOT breakfasts) and danishes was the highlight of my day!

  reminds me of an elder trying desperately not to call on a little kid who had an answer about some really embarrassing personal or sexual issue, and the kid didn't have a clue what his answer meant. He just underlined something that seemed right and waved his hand wildly to get called on. Yuck. Here's an idea - for you folks still in. Maybe next time there's an embarrassing article for the WT study - something about oral sex for instance, invite a social worker to the meeting!

  I remember the family study. My dad had us sit down for hours studying the "paradise book". The reason why it took hours is because we had to start all over from the beginning of the chapter if we didn't pay attention. I was 10 and my 2 brothers were much younger. That was torch er on summer day.

  I completely agree 250% with everything stated here about the absurdity of not creating audience specific programs in the WTS. However, if you think about it, it's kind of good they don't. That way more and more people are rebelling against the borg and questioning the arbitrary way they impose everything on the members. Keep doing it wrong, WTS! Make it easier for folks to tell your GB to "SUCK IT!"
