2 Assemblies??

El Kabong

There were some in my old congregation that would boast to anybody who would listen that they go to 2 district/circuit assemblies. The reason for this is because they would so-called work at the assembly they were assigned to, so they couldn't get the full benefit from the program. So, they supposedly attended another assembly so they can sit and <cough> enjoy the program.

Now, I'm just curious. How many of you actually did that. I for one would work at the assemblies just so I wouldn't have to sit in those seats and listen to the program while my brain and my ass got numb. (And yes to all you smart-asses out there, they ARE DIFFERENT parts of El Kabongs body ) I could never imagine putting myself through that kind of torture. Or, did these people want a "free" weekend away from the meetings?

I did not go to two assemblies.

I went to one assembly.

I did not work at my one assembly.

I did not sit in those unspeakably uncomfortable seats.

I did not listen to one word of the drivel coming from the platform, repeated there for the 100th time.

I DID lay drunk with similiarly inclined sisters, and magically show up just in time for the closing song.

I went to two district assemblies this year!!!

I have always have gone to more than one assembly, it's something most of my family tend to do. I've never bragged about it, it's just a regular thing in my family to go to more than one. I have always worked at one and listened at another. I have been known to go to three! Now that IS sad!

The only assemblies I enjoyed were the ones where I missed a lot. It was a shame when I couldn't help make hoagies anymore. After having a blast in the kitchen throwing lettuce at the brother across the table (who was inserting meat in the buns), why would I even consider going to a different assembly?

There was an elder and elderette in my old congregation who would travel all the way from Texas to Tennessee because the one in Tennessee was two weeks before ours.They always wanted to get the jump on any new information or new releases.

Well when I was a zealous fool I would do the two assemby thing. Then it was like pulling teeth to get me to do one assembly.

Some of the teenagers I knew would go to two assemblies. Why? That was the one place where you could go and meet members of the opposite sex. Go early, walk around and flirt, sleep through the morning sessions (often to get rid of a hang over), walk around during lunch in hopes of getting girls, sleep through the hot afternoon sessions (remembering to clap when you heard anyone else doing it), after its over make plans for the evening, stay out way too late and get way to drunk. Repeat.

I tried it once or twice but that about it. JW girls tended to either be goody-goody and not do anything at all or to much of an air head to talk to for more than 2 minutes. In fact, just about all (with the exception of one or two) or the ones who didn't fall into that catagory are no longer JW's.

Yep, we used to go to 2 summer assemblies for the sole purpose of meeting guys............I met several, but I was so dumb I let the good ones get away!!

Matty

You make the bruvvers sound like fish! You let the good ones get away? Did you end up with an old cod and a few sprats by the prayer on Sunday?!

When I say that I go to at least two summer assemblies a year, that is what people often think the reason is. The dull truth of the matter is that although I have probably been to more summer conventions in my lifetime than some of the Governing Body, I am often too busy working to go chatting up anyone! I was often jealous of the ones that did though, I have always been absolutely hopeless with women and the thought of going around the concourse chatting-up sistas fills me with absolute dread!
