Even my (JW) wife was amused at the idea that teenage boys would want to sneak away and watch a vampire (Twilight) movie.

In case anybody missed the drama, here's a quick synopsis:

I wish someone would post the drama on YouTube so I can have a good laugh.

Just more of the same from "the happiest people on earth"

You can almost see the teenagers counting the minutes until they can run from "the Truth"

They've destroyed themselves...

Are you serious? That drama plot sounds like a cheesy Law & Order episode. Is Dick Wolf writing dramas now?

I wrote "Cop Killer". Does not compute.

The latest (August) awake gives elders the right to police JW's facebook account. How creepy is this? An elder checking up on a young girls pictures? Pervert.

If your parents allow you to use a social network, look at your posted pictures and ask yourself: ·What do these photos say about me? Is this really how I want to present myself?

Would I be embarrassed if my parents, a Christian elder, or a prospective employer were to see these photos?· If your answer to that last question is yes, make changes.

That·s what 21-year-old Kate did. "A Christian elder spoke to me about my profile picture," she says, "and I was grateful. I knew that he wanted to protect my reputation"

Yeah right!

Thanks for the link CaptainSchmideo. I wish I'd seen your thread before I went, because I should have brought an airsick bag .

The slutty schoolgirl was named Bianca and evidently they wore uniforms to school. Other than the spoken lines, she didn't look or act particularly sexy in her khakis and polo shirt. And he was nothing that a girl would ever brag about scoring.

For those of you that remember an earlier drama about the prodigal son where the JW boy moves in with a "worldly brother" and gets a job designing video games with slutty girls, that drama really had the audience weepy at the end. This one really lacked anything close to that. As I looked around at sheeples faces, they didn't look particularly engaged. It was entirely too fake and contrived even by Watchtower standards.

As I further reflect on what disturbed me so badly about it, it's not just that worldly kids are slutty vampire movie watching troublemakers, but most JW kids are, too. It was particularly disturbing that the good JW kid was treated with suspicion and had to prove his innocence. What if the kid would have been alone at home studying rather than having the alibi after a Circuit Assembly? How many adults are prepared to present an iron-clad alibi for every hour of the day? What if Bianca hadn't admitted to the JW girl that nothing had really happened? Why did that conversation even happen? Why was the good JW girl in the habit of talking to a slutty "worldly" girl? What if the JW girl hadn't reported this confession, or the elders concluded that the JW girl was lying to protect the boy (since it was already established in the drama the JW kids are shameless liars)? Would the JW girl be counselled for associating with slutty worldly girls?

Earlier in the morning, there was a symposium about Jesus being courageous. This included an interview of a high school aged boy that was invited by "worldly" kids to go out with them to eat. Rather than just telling them he needed to get home, he lectured them on "bad association spoils useful habits." From what he said, they were respectful and polite as he "explained his Bible-based beliefs". I think the collective reaction of the audience was disgust. Even the speaker later mentioned that we would want to be more tactful.

Watchtower can't deal with the fact that most of the world is tolerant and respectful, while they are increasingly hateful, judgmental, and prejudiced. And I mean hateful, judgmental, and prejudiced against their own young.

One of the things I really hated in Bethel was when the lectures would be directed to how wild the 19-year-old new-boys were. The fact of the matter was that the vast majority of them were really good kids that were labelled because of misconduct by a minority. And frankly, when it was the boys getting into wrongdoing, there was very little damage compared to when the older guys got into trouble that led to much greater scandal.

Ahhh, good ol' uncle jack-off!

This drama is so pathetic in displaying there is no trust at all in such a 'brotherhood'. No one can be believed or trusted, there is no personal dignity or honor. Everyone in the congregation, especially the younger ones are always guilty until proven innocent. Ridiculous.

Billy - the need for the 'good' JW kid to have an alibi upset even my wife. What happened to 'two witnesses?' I guess that's just for child molesters...

However, she later reasoned that because the good JW kid had put in for Aux Pioneering that month, he needed an alibi so as to be 'beyond reproach'

WHATEVER!

Good point! For the good JW kid, this night could easily have passed uneventfully, and he couldn't remember where he was. Since when do people have to vouch for their location based on the very Internet JWs are so busy claiming is laced with false stories from people who hide what they are?

But I think it's obvious that the conventions and assemblies serve to highlight how unstable the JW mindset is. I should say, is supposed to be. I think I had more than my share of recognizing that the scenarios put forward in these dramas were so exaggerated. I always felt young people were only of use to the Borg if they were Jehovah-bots. Those who were usually creeped me out, because they didn't seem human or like they had interests of their own, plans of their own.

I wasn't drunk when I wrote my earlier, alternate drama. I just don't drink, you know?

Seriously. A girl in khaki pants and a polo shirt trying to hit on me? I guess they got around the anticipated immodest dress by going for school uniforms. Unless hers were one size too small, that makes for a perfectly safe drama. You should've seen the girls in my high school...heck, you should've seen 'em at my first job!
