  I wrote a little poem about being at the meeting. I apologise beforehand if all the commas and full stops are in the wrong places, i'm not very good with punctuation

  It's 10am, i'm bleary eyed,

  I'm at the Sunday meeting.

  I look around to find a seat,

  but no one gives a greeting.

  We sing a kingdom melody,

  but not a note's in tune.

  We warble that God's judgement day

  will be here very soon.

  We bow our heads, a prayer is said,

  I'm feeling bored already.

  Oh, how I wish I were in bed,

  or watching films on telly.

  The speaker starts the public talk,

  his voice a monotone.

  I watch the clock, it never moves,

  and give a silent groan.

  'Thy kingdom come.' My bum is numb,

  I think that this is crap.

  I fold my arms and close my eyes,

  I'll have a little nap.

  An hour passed quite peacefully,

  I hope I didn't snore.

  An hour of Watchtower study

  is the next 'treat' that's in store.

  Oh, look, there's Sister Spiritual,

  she answers like a pro.

  She parrots all the Watchtower speak,

  just doin' what she knows.

  I stare at all my brothers

  and I see their eyes look dead.

  There's not one independent thought

  inside their empty heads.

  Finally the meeting ends,

  and things don't look so black.

  I'm not a Watchtower robot

  and i won't be coming back.

  Thy kingdom come.' My bum is numb,

  LOL

  When i first read that I laughed out uncontrollably. I know my wife is probably wondering what I was laughing at.

  So glad I wasn't drinking anything or it woulda been all over the keyboard.

  Haha, Stonewall, so glad it made you laugh. If we didn't have a sense of humour about some of this stuff we'd go mad wouldn't we?

  Normally I don't get along with poetry, but this one was very easy to understand--and well written. I simply cannot stand the waste of time going to those boasting sessions--on top of the risk of getting hounded before or after.

  Thanks GapingMouth and Wizard . Urgh, yes the boasting sessions were like Chinese water torture! And now i know it really was a complete waste of time i'm even more angry at all the hundreds and hundreds of wasted hours i spent sitting through them

  Did you think of that yourself?

  Theres some good thought and imagination gone into that.

  That beats a Kingdom Melody anyday.
