What's with the
Do they really help? I find them very strange and false (in the convention setting).
Plus how many people actually know what a solioquy actually is?
I'm sure even less people have even heard the word outside a convention, unless they study Shakespear.
I often engage in a little solioquy... i find it helps to solve some problems
but i get worried when i start answering back!

Hey Oz !
Me and Myself have some terrific arguments, I get worried when I start to punch myself !
As to the dramas and soliloquies at Conventions, along with people telling their own experiences, they all sound false and really weird.
Another expression is the word monologue....
To be honest I think most people talk to themselves outloud.......or is it just me

To be honest I think it's just you... I only talk to my pets and sometimes to my imaginary friend - never mind.
I remember the first convention that I ever missed. Ahhh it felt good... my "dad" would put a KM and blast it real loud just to wake me and bother me. What an idiot, but I just smiled because I had the rest of the day to catch on my sleep.
I have to talk to myself sometimes, when nobody else will listen!!
Soliloquies - never heard of that word before until the convention. Why couldn't they just call it a monologue? Oh yeah, JWs are "different" from the world, so they have to use this one....

"To be honest I think it's just you... I only talk to my pets and sometimes to my imaginary friend - never mind. ..."
Not to jerk this thread too far off-topic, but...
I talk to my car... and yell at my computer...
As for the "soliloquies" at the District Convention... I heard that Fred Franz used to walk around Bethel, giving soliloquies to his shoes...
I think it's a "drama queen" thing... Also, yet another way to 'talk down' to the Rank&File - I always found the "soliloquies" at the CCs and the DCs to be banal, repetitive regurgitations of WTBTS propaganda... "OOH! There's 'Brother Questioning-the-Troooth'! Should I talk to him, even though he hasn't been disfellowshipped yet, for not attending every meeting?? I must be a FAITHFUL Witness of "Jehovah", or I'LL end up in a Judicial Committee myself!!"
I really wouldn't have compared the Watchtower's scripted "soliloquies" to Shakespeare, but that's just me...

They are supposed to be a good teaching technique
