Are you afraid of using your cell phone at the KH

    Man oh Man,

    I use my Iphone, everywhere. At work, in Field Service, at home, when I'm outside doing my walk. Last night, at the KH, I was trying to record an event on my Iphone so I didn't forget it(I haven't written a paper note in over a year)

    Well, I couldn't believe the stares from some of the people at the hall. It was the, "How dare you", stare. "Don't you know how bad technology is", kinda stare. I felt the eyes on me, but, I went ahead and completed the note.

    Did anyone else get this weird experience?

    Was it during the meeting? They may have thought you were texting, perhaps?

    No, it was before the meeting...about 5 minutes before it started.

    My last KH meeting was pre iPhone. So, I have nothing to compare it to. Perhaps they were thinking you were talking to demons.

    LOL, NY. Yes, maybe they thought I was playing the Angry Birds, violent game.

    They probably thought you were making a "showy display of your means" by using your iphone in their presence.

    I used to text during the meetings. :p I was having major anxiety attacks and would text another dub friend who would encourage me that I can do it, I did great just getting there, go outside and get air, if I needed to go home, then go. I'd also text my df'd brother. lol

    What, you didn't KNOW, dear QB (peace to you!)? Cell phones are commanded by demons. Little beings who occupy such devices, running around inside (as they do in all electronics, surely you know this!)... pushing levers, turning gears, compiling graphics on the fly, even composing texts after you push the little buttons (uh, keys). You send them the info you want, they "process" it (i.e., change it to say/do what THEY want)... and then they see that it gets to the destination of your desire. Even if the recipient doesn't want it (you DO remember the "Mail Daemon", don't you??).

    Nevermind that today's cell phones have handy digital recording devices that make notetaking a virtual breeze - they are demonic and there's nothing you can do to convince us... uh, er... "faithful" JWs otherwise.

    So, toss that mini-Devil's eye, brother... get out your No. 2 pencil ('cause some pens have demons, too, which is why they intentionally leave ink stains on your hands/pockets)... and a pad... and start paying attention to the speaker! Otherwise, you are NO DOUBT toying with things of which you have NO knowledge and so opening yourself up for [very dangerous] demonic possession!

    Again, peace to you... and please note that I'm not playing, here; you, though, are... with demonic "fire"!

    SA... on her own (which you hopefully know - )...

    Oh, no, AGuest.

    It's too late....I'm afraid that I already sold myself to the demons by pressing that button, "Agree to all the terms and conditions".

    I was too lazy to read it...I just wanted a short cut.
