    A couple of JW friends attempted to encourage me and invited me to travel with them to the DC. Overall I had a good time and enjoyed their company. However, I went to all 3 days of the DC and nothing happened. There were not even feelings of nostalgia. No light-bulb moment of if being the 'truth'. It really was all blah, blah,blah...blah. The entire time the folks I traveled with really tried to talk up the practical benefits of being a JW.

    It was hilarious to see that FreeMinds had a table set-up outside of the DC when we exited for the lunch intermission. Although to the JW that's simply a fullfillment of bible prophecy.

    Anyway, so far their plan hasn't worked. So I'm sure they will stop calling, etc. Also, there was no mention of education at all at this DC. It was actually fairly light when it came to the information. Nothing mentioned on apostates either. Nothing major on the use of the internet other than warnings about porn. I'm not sure if folks on this board 'spice up' what they hear at the DC or if maybe the speakers will throw in their own two cents from time to time at various DCs. I actually found it somewhat boring.

    That's the latest with me...how are you doing?

    Probably depends on the area's "special needs". I went to a meeting at a friends congregation once in Montreal, the talk on the local needs was about homosexuality, I never ever heard a talk like that anywhere else before. I did not even know they gave talks like that. You know from place to place they will insist on different things.

    Nice to see you shopaholic! Sorry you had to sit throught the DC.

    Most DC talks are manuscript talks these days. I think some speakers take a few liberties and, yes, some posts may be embelished.

    I'm convicnced it's all bull**** anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
