When your Circuit or District Overseer spoke this statement "TURN AROUND AND BEHOLD YOUR LOYAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THEY ARE YOUR REAL FAMILY!"
did you agree with him? Or wonder if something was wrong with yourself or your family? Did you feel out of place, if everyone is so happy, why I am feeling depressed, nervous or sick on Meeting Nights?
Why do I feel like the Aunt or Uncle who is never invited to their little "love feasts"? Stuck on the phone with a crazy sheep, I could not provide any answer to her question, "Why are my kids never invited into the in-groups gatherings?" " I am a widow, and my boys need good association!" I shot myself in the foot "Your kids are better off not being there, those kids are not so wholesome" and she returned my sympathy by telling the brothers what I told her! "BA, REPORT TO BACK ROOM AFTER MEETING PLEASE!" "Why did you tell Sister Depressed her kids were better off not being invited to our gathering?"
Sister Depressed is not the only one trying to choke down these "Muddy Waters Of Truth" some of the most outgoing elders in the Kingdom Halls are still lonely, stressed and sick. Sisters who put the needs of others are burned out and depressed and neglected by the insatiable needs of the Kingdom Hall.
"IF YOU PLAY QUESTIONABLE VIDEO GAMES, YOU ARE BAD ASSOCIATION TO YOUR CONGREGATION!" The Overseers love to hammer teenagers, thinking their words would magically get through to non conforming minds!
I think most teens bought "Call Of Duty, HALO, Grand Theft Auto" just to spite Brother W.
