What Would Happen If You Just Walked Into A Kingdom Hall This Sunday? (page 3)

I think everyone would look like this.....

and then the gossip would start.

Well, at the Memorial in 1994, after missing meetings for several weeks due to illness (I was depressed and my kids all got chicken pox one after the other so it was almost 6 weeks all together), an elder waltzed up to me and said "Look at what the cat dragged in".

It was a downward spiral after that.

I am told that people would like me to come back, though I can't imagine why. It's not like they had anything to do with me when I was a JW. And of course, I would have to "repent" from my "apostate" ways. Fat chance of that happening.

I would be viewed as the returned "daughter" and somewhat cuddled til dead since I am not officially"out"

Hehehehe, man, that would be fun. I can just imagine me walking in with my mommy, fully dressed up in something way inappropiate, and naturally making sure my piercing would be totally visible.

Then, after the meeting, where I would have fallen asleep had it not been for my intense desire to hear all the nonsense they proclaimed... People would come up to my mum, and start talking to her, and nicely ignoring me. Then, I'd mix myself into the conversation, and ask my mum if she now knew everything she needed to know. And my mum would respond *yeah Vivvy, you are right, nothing but lies, and a bunch of backstabbing bitches in here*. We would both be totally arrogant and walk out, meanwhile, smiling to all the basterds and saying *well, ta ta, we are off for a few drinks to wash our minds, and a few smokes, anyone care to join us in the coffeehouse?*

ohhh, sweet dreams are made of these...

Since I was never baptized, I'd get a mixed bag. I know I'd get a lot of "Oh! It's nice to see you here!". That is the most phony statement the JWs give to encourage people. Some people would just ignore me, and the rest probably wouldn't recognize me. Some would naturally stay away from me because of my long hair and the cross earring I have.

Minimus- A few years ago, I went to a JW funeral, and it wasn't a pleasurable experience. If you've been away from the meetings for quite a while, I would suggest not going. However, if you haven't been away all that long, all you would have to put up with is the "Oh! It's nice to see you" comments from everyone.

Viv----You sooo bad!......Nos, I see what you mean.

I recently moved back into the area where I first became a JW. If I were to walk into the Kingdom Hall, even though I haven't set foot inside that congregation for more than 25 years, I'm sure I would be recognized. What would they do? Probably call the police and ask them to remove me.

Funny....they'd call the police on lil' ol' me, but they'd never call the cops to have an active member in good standing pedophile removed, would they?

Walked into a KH? Don't do it - we should avoid "bad associations".

Coffehouses in the US and Australia are slightly different!

Owyergoin Viv? Cheers, Ozzie Cheers
