I remember going to a Grand Boasting Session--and they urged us to preach with urgency. They also discussed ways for people to give up the things they enjoyed so they could pious-sneer. They bashed apostasy and Christendom's teachings, and insinuated that anything that "could lead to fornication" was bad. That was not recent--it was in the late 1980s. And, they proclaimed that the light was getting brighter then.
All we get these days is changes in surface organization structure. They change the book study so it is now part of the Theocraptic Misery "School(??)? Whoopie ding-dong. They put out a new song book? Big deal. They introduce new "avenues" of field circus. What, bus stops and parking lots? The exact same as regular street work, stupid! A new Value Destroyer Training School that allows married couples to join. Then, why did Almighty Lowlife Scumbag need me celibate? They did away with food at a$$emblies--so much for those roast beef sandwiches, frozen puddings, and Diet Shasta or Billion Bubbles.
When, most of the essence is unchanged. Obey the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger. The story lines are exactly the same today as they were when I first went into the cancer. Fornication is so bad that anything that creates even the slightest opportunity must be purged (child molesting doesn't count here). One must deny oneself of the benefits of a decent career, Internet access, and higher education because "our time is for field circus". Entertainment is bad because it takes away from theocraptic things.
And the Grand-Daddy of them all: People not doing what they are supposed to. How often you hear that people need to sign up to pious-sneer, or they face destruction? "January has--hmm, let's see--five Sundays. Everyone must pious-sneer, since five Sundays makes it easier". You hear low-hour publishers denigraded all the time. They are supposed to be hounded to death. Then, the biggest is the missed boasting session--why would I want to attend one of those things when they waste 15 minutes explaining when it's acceptable to miss one? And how many times do they get that rubbish that they need to adopt those schedules to pious-sneer during the REJECT Jesus Party season? I have seen a few Kingdumb Misery inserts wasting half a page giving people several options, such as "Two Evenings and the Weekend" so they can make their time. You waste 20 minutes discussing that--new light?
