How would you act and dress.....if you did go to the hall just once? (page 3)

Nosferatu

I took notes during the talk and after that I wnet to the washroom.
where I left a some silentlamb business cards that I had made up.

Lee, we should get together and stop in at a hall sometime. If I ever go again, it won't be with my parents.

Now, to the questions:

How would you dress?Jeans, T-shirt - Maybe my metallica shirt with the hand holding the knife coming out of the toilet bowl, saying "Metal Up Your Ass", Runners, let my long hair down, keep my cross earring in.

How would you act?
I would act like myself.

Where would you sit?
Not sure. Probably an isle seat.

Would you speak to any?
Sure! I can be Mr. Social if I want to be. Hell, I'm not disfellowshipped, and even if I were, why should that stop me from meeting new people? Just to be an asshole, I'd probably talk to lots of women, using some kinesthetics on them!

Gumby --- It was like I could tell there were some there that were not liking the fact that a visitor didn't stand or wear a tie and sport coat. The argument wasn't about that but I seemed to have found a CO who wanted to argue over about baptism requirements . I said baptism was one of the first things the apostles did whenever they converted someone but the society insists on some 6 month period before someone is eligible and I did prove my point most effectively and had him stumped .

I'd wear pants so they'd think I was a plain old ignorant worldy person.

I'd probably just act like I was a normal worldly person but not too interested or enthusiactic about the meeting. If someone asked me what I thought of the meeting I would ask sincere worldly questions designed to make the talk and study look like sheer stupidity as JWs instinctively know that they they are.

"What did you think of the WT lesson?" "Am I wrong? Did I hear them say you are not allowed to read literature written by people who've left your religion?I find that very odd. Why would anyone be afraid of it?"

"You are kidding. You mean you would stop talking to someone who sins? I mean, don't you think the sinner is the person who needs encouragement the most?This doesn't sound at all like the Christian way."

"Wordly people? I am a worldly person. Frankly, I found that lesson smacking of paranoia. I also found your jabs at churches insulting."

I'd sit in the back on the end of the row so that I could make a speedy exit in case I just couldn't stand it all.

Yes, I would probably speak to some, but probably not for long. I don't think I could handle the fake interest they'd show. I'd feel like a bleeding swimmer surrounded by sharks.

I would never go to the KH. A summer convention maybe. I missssss the dramas. Don't you??

got my forty homey?

I would try to find the sicko that ruined my life at bethel and fill him with Mossberg shells o fun!

I would wear pants, act like I would normally act in public, and sit as far away from the "theocratic youths" and meddlesome publishers as possible.

Athanasius

As Robdar mentioned earlier, we attended the Theocratic School and Service Meeting at the KH as a newly-wed couple. We were so convincing that the JWs believed us. Robdar was great. They had no idea that we were both ex-JWs.

I wore a black sports coat, gray slacks, and a black dress shirt with a white tie. I also had an American Flag pin in my lapel.

We sat in the back row and the JWs loaned us the baby-shit brown song book, but we didn't sing along with them. During the Service Meeting Robdar went out for a smoke. I began to get nervous because she was gone for over 20 minutes. When she got back she told me the sisters had followed her out and gave her the love bombing treatment. As soon as the meeting was over they love bombed us both for about 30 minutes more. Guess they need converts real bad.

After we left the KH Robdar said that the JWs were probably counting the time they spent talking to us. So when you read the Watchtower report for the 2002 service year for the United States be aware that at least one of the hours recorded was time spent witnessing to Robdar and Athanasius.
