Alright, I will say it. District Conventions. Planning and getting off of work,
booking a hotel, driving all that way, wasting 3 to 4 days- all of it. -

1--Studying the Bible out of context, using the Suffer Forever book.
2--Throwing away everything that the humanoid conducting the study felt I shouldn't have.
3--Shopping for field circus. Getting that f***ing bookbag, call book, and the like.
4--Preparing for field circus. That wasted another hour, on top of the time I wasted actually out in field circus.
5--Preparing for boasting sessions. Again, that wasted another hour besides the boasting session itself.
6--Boasting sessions themselves.
7--Studying for boasting sessions and research for field circus. Includes giving talks.
8--Field circus--altogether a waste of time.
9--Preparing for the Grand Boasting Session. Includes time wasted calling for motel rooms on the first list, only to have them all taken (only to get a room on the first try in April--of course, Brother Hounder hated it when I waited that long).
10--A$$emblies themselves.
11--"Volunteer(??)" assignments of all kinds, including cleaning the Kingdumb Hell.
12--The REJECT Jesus Party.
And they have the nerve to claim that celebrating Christmas, which most people actually enjoy, is a waste of time.

From their perspective none of this is a "waste" of time. It's important for cults to FILL your free time. This way they can be sure you won't have the time for things like "independent thought" which might result in you realizing that you're actually in a cult!

I do not regret the time I spent abroad in the preaching work as it really opened my eyes to some things about this religion. Timewasters:
1. Meeting preparation
2. Special Day Assembly
3. Pioneer Assembly
4. Service Meeting

no more kool aid
Working all week, spending evenings getting a dozen outfits washed ironed only to spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday with my lunch sitting on the floor under my ass (usually on a 85 degree July 4th weekend). Then the week starts with 5 piles of extra laundry and lingering exhaustion. If you had a talk the following Tuesday, that was just the best!

Spending hours and hours and hours shopping for a skirt that was not too long, not too short and not see-through! Grrr...what a waste of time and money! I hated wearing skirts

Standing there for hours with a bovine look on your face and a KEEP MOVING sign in your hand.
