What did you actually enjoy about JW meetings? (page 6)

I miss all the nerds coming up to me and saying how nice it is to see me but not even caring about my spirituality.

Sorry to resurrect (so to speak) this thread, but it REALLY cracked me up! I can't think of a single thing I miss. From the dread-filled ride to the KH until the dread-filled ride home, when I knew I was in for a spanking for not sitting still, the entire thing was torture. Ugh, I'm so glad I'm out!!!

Truthfully...nothing about the meetings.

I alays loved watching babies squeal and play for everyone to look at em....also...I loved when the word "duty" was mentioned on the podium

"It's your doodie as a christian person......"

also as a child , I loved making fun of meetings during cleanings at the KH...esprecially the elders parts

The end was always the best, without question.

The majority of my years as a witness was when I was a youth, so I enjoyed talking to my friends.

It was sad, though, that even as a youth, in the hall, I would look around and see people that I thought to myself, being at the boring meeting was probably the highlight of the week for them.

i enjoyed it when someone was anounced as being d/f, d/a or on reproof.

At the Memorial I would almost get the giggles watching people get handed the plate of bread, looking at it, then passing it, then doing the same with the wine. And then of course Sister Bizarro of the "replacement" Annointed Class? munching down on a piece, trying to be discreet, and you know everybody is thinking "god what a weirdo, yeah right she's annointed". LOL

Holy deja vu, Batman! Here I was all ready to reply, and found out I did already. I thought of another one:

Clean bathrooms.

I'm all up for interracial marriaging but when it seems forced on either side that just ticks my clock. I heard one sister that is marrying a white man say, "I got myself a white man girl!" I was like what the hell. He was half way rich and she was talkin bout how they were going to live with each other till they die and he was going to support me till he dies since he's rich. I was about to slap her but I had to be a good christian remember? what crap.

Oh, my old cong. used to KILL me with this. The entire congregation (mostly Black) used to treat interracial couples with awed admiration, since this meant that the sister was "gonna have her some 'pretty babies' with 'that good hair!' " A Black sister who snared her a non-Black man was considered to be one lucky chick. And the ones who married a White man was envied, since this meant that she was married to a walking ATM. <--spoken with sarcasm on my part

The biracial kids got treated that way, too. The ones with the long wavy light hair and/or blue or green eyes could do NO wrong, ever. Always being cooed over by the sisters.

Back on topic, though...I hated all the meetings but I loved sleeping at the district conventions.
