Attended the meeting tonight, filled in for a sick person, nailed the reading..got asked where i was and one elder was pretty condescending...sarcastically responded with "oh really?!?! You were sick?!?! You had germs?!?! You had germs?!?! I gave him the "whaaaaaaaatheFfffffff" face. it was creepy as hell. Then i really enjoyed our "Bible" (but not) study about the ranks of rank and file dubs....again 4 scriptures read. Then i enjoyed my reading of course and a sisters talk about how the bible talks of the true religion.....oh then of course the "how luke 24:44 and galatians 4 prove Jesus is the messiah" talk. He talked about prophecies leading to Christs haptism, anointing, death. And said this was historical evidence because people alive at that time died believing this was true and died because of believing it...which demonstrated their conviction that it was, in fact, true. Of course no physical evidencw has been revealed to prove certain aspects but that wasnt brought up. The next talk encouraged more to move permanently to other language speaking areas...and i left before local needs....by that time i felt claudtrophobic, hot, feverush, and sweaty....

You are definitely coming down with something contagious. Sneeze in the general direction of that creepy elder.

i know what your talking about as for the meeting, I went a week ago or so for my sons talk, The arogance of these people being of gods only true Organization. Makes one want to go all Jesus on their ass and start throwing things around because did jesus ever say there was to become only one true religion and those in this religion could freely exalt themsleves and judge others???

I had that no. 3 talk, im finding it increasingly difficult to keep up the pretense.. Interesting finding something I can actually speak about with conviction without getting rumbled though! Balancing act...
