  Excerpts from my old meeting notebook.

  I think I identified what my problem was: attitude!

  Morning session: Symposium, (something about God's will)

  Pt 1: What is God's will?

  *There are many Gods, including Justin Bieber (did he just call the biebster a god oohh..heeheehee audience giggles, this guy is hilar-i-ous!)

  *blah, blah, blah

  *why the hell is he using that scripture?

  *No sorry, not writing that.

  *Yawn, this guy's delivery is so ho-hum he's losing me, in fact get the crash cart out people he's losing her

  she's going..going....and gone. Too late.

  Pt2: God's Will for you

  Faithful ones all over the world are helping with the translating work and are happy joy-joy.

  SUBTEXT SPOILER ALERT - Get off your lazy asses, sell your belongings and move to serve

  where our need is greater than yours.

  After lunch

  * this WT study is totally nonsensical

  * Final Talk ( if only! promises, promises, no this not the final talk we will all be back tomorrow for more of the same)

  These are just a few of the golden moments in time wasting brought to you by the WT corporation.

  Don't applaud JUST THROW MONEY!

  Oh dear, funny thing is, at that time I hadn't woken up yet. YIKES!

  I meant I hadn't "woken up yet" as to TTATT, not that I was literally asleep at the convention

  though that has happened too.

  That's funny B.

  I suspect this type of irreverent notekeeping was the only thing that kept me from going postal.

  that last time I went I had a great time pointing out to the wife how patronizing they were being.

  She couldn't refute that they weren't.

  Yes, EVERYTHING we hear now just sounds so stupid!

  I sit there at every meeting assembly convention and think "what? huh? are you kidding? oh come on!"

  Sounds like you didn't have the 'three H's' now did you sparrow?

  What were they, humble, honest and I can't even remember the last one.

  Hi,

  I used to take notes, because they said to....but I then noticed I would miss what they were talking about....I did this for a while, even have a book for conventions & assemblies...you know what is funny....I don't open up that book until I go to the next assembly/convention...&&& you know what else nobody does either...I said that one day...I said, I don't take too many notes if any because I toss it in the back of my car & don't open it up again...I think most of the friends to the same thing, some even admitted it....they said, yeah, that's true...sheepishly....most of them do it to look like they are really into being a witness.... or..so they won't go to sleep....it's all a show...look at me I'm a faithful witness, see me..I take notes...The whole world is a stage & everybody plays a part...

  I people watch too...Look at that brother, he sure is goodlooking..bet ya he got on a ring...yep, he sure does...where she think she going in those high heels...why don't that mother leave the child alone..stop giving it so much water, so you can keep going back forth to the bathroom room, I know that trick...stop handing the child to your hubby, he ain't checking for you ro the baby...Yo Brother, I know you don't change diapers at home, why are you doing it here....

  It's all a show....but it's fun to watch folks ...fall asleep...& some snore too...
