When I received yet another assignment to do a talk on wifely submission based on the good example of Sarah, I did research on the time Sarah disagreed with Abraham and God told him to listen to her.It covered the material quite nicely, as I used all of the assigned scriptures, but I don't think it was the message the bros quite intended to get across:)
Also, I had fun with one of my myriad immorality assignments, too, although I got a bit off topic on this one. I covered the information in the YPA on pornography, aiming it at the husbands and adult men in the audience instead of the youths. Boy, was it fun to watch certain elders squirm:)It was worth having to re-do that one.
But the best thing I did was refuse to state a reason for DAing myself.No reason, nothing to control.

Coming in late is another really good way to piss them off. I'm talking really, really late. When I was attending Passaic South Spanish in NJ, my wife and I would regularly get to the meeting over an hour late. Same thing in Hackensack. Actually we'd leave early sometimes too. Like I could listen to the Public talk sometimes and then get disgusted with the WT material so get up and walk out early.
It's kind of funny and probably depends on the elder body, but once you make it "your thing" to act non-comformist, its pretty much expected of you and doesn't raise too many eyebrows. That was my experience anyway. There are still days I think it would be entertaining to start attending meetings again, just to ruffle feathers. I don't think they would know what to do with me.

I had an argument with an elder about a secret congregational matter in a LOUD voice after the meeting.
Then I got my navel pierced and showed it to EVERYONE at the meeting :)

Obed, I used to read your other site all the time, a few years back. You always seemed to be able to play the line so well when it came to supporting the faithful slave....How did you do it???

When the then PO remarked to me seems you don't trust us, I told them I didn't. On another occasion told the now PO and Sec. about a particular issue that I thought they were just trying to cover their assets. When two elders came to get in my business about work I was doing I asked if either of them paid any of my bills. One was soooo hot when he left he forgot his overcoat in the middle of winter. Must have told his wife about it cause she didn't speak to me for about 3 weeks.

The best was acting really stupid in my Committee Meeting. They'd ask me if I got the point of the scripture, and I'd say "no". Then they would all take turns explaining it (out of context) and ask me again. I'd say "no".
thats hysterical! Ill have to keep that one in mind!

Minor rebellion - I was always the "good example," but after tasting the freedom of no pantyhose in the Virgin Islands and Northern Territory of Australia, there was no way I was going to wear those god-awful things in the middle of a Texas summer. Many elders and older sisters tried to discreetly tell me the error of my ways, but I just blandly told the sisters that I thought they were crazy to wear so many clothes when it was 100 degrees outside, and I told the brothers they were just jealous because they had to wear a tie and long pants. At least in Australia, up north, the bros. could wear walk shorts out in service (and weren't they a sight with their hairy little legs poking out!). However, I was an elder's daughter (an anointed one at that) AND a regular pioneer so I was off limits for any type of REAL reproof.

One of the women I pioneered with was a wonderful, kind hearted woman, who was about 150 pounds overweight. During a particularly hot summer, she was wearing a sleeveless, very loose dress, and no stockings, obviously. I asked her, in front of the other women, how she could get away with that because of legs rubbing together (it hurts guys). That's the only reason I wore pantyhose, up to that day. She lifted her dress, discreetly, to show us she was wearing knee length pantaloons...........very loose white cotton. We all thought she was the cleverest gal around, and we promptly bought some ourselves.
Free at last..................free from pantyhose in the hot summer. No one criticized us for that. Must be a regional thing for some of you.
