I love the comments about young Witnesses leaving. The future of the organization is walking out the door
and all the old Theocrats can do is criticize and issue empty threats. It's wonderful to see this happening
because it means they have no effective response - and are too proud and blind to acknowledge their own
failure. Better that they don't wake up before it's too late.

I enjoyed your post, Mary!
I cannot even IMAGINE myself attending a KH, let alone an assembly! I'm sure I'd have to be escorted outside because I'd be very disruptive---moaning, rolling my eyes and saying things like "ARE YOU KIDDING?"
hugs,
Annie
Mary, you are hilarious!
Unfortunately your description of the sister was so good, I think I got a whiff of her myself.
In reference to the birthday celebration demo, I'm sure that the Dad had his kid convinced that it was his "personal decision" not to celebrate.
Sounds like they printed that Questions From Readers article about Birthdays for PR and lawsuit reasons... then "clarified" with a "personal experience" at the convention.
Yup... NOTHING has changed in regard to birthdays... they are still forbidden.
More lies and deceit.
good post, Mary,
thanks for the memories.....(gag)
many years ago, I was one of those "young people" who gave talks at the circuit assemblies and was asked to speak about my experiences pioneering and how " there is nothing more that I would rather be doing than serving Jehovah full time...."
Well the TRUTH is there really was something that I would rather have been doing...and I did it.
Hopefully all those other young people will wake up and realize that they have a life ahead of them and potential to actually accomplish something for themselves.

Well actually, no, I didn't get that impression at all. It started out with the good ol' Father-Son-Back-To-School So They Can Torment Me talk. The kid tells his Borg of a Father that he's been invited to a fellow classmates Birthday Party but he told him right off that he couldn't go because he might have some fun he was part of the Collective one of Jehovah's Witnessess but then he asks: "But Dad, why don't we celebrate birthdays?"
So the father starts on about how the Bible only mentions two birthdays: Pharoah's and King Herod's and how only baaaaaaaad things happened. He stressed that no one ever celebrated Jesus' birthday (I guess those angels that declared to the sheperds in the field that "Today, was born, the King of the Jews" and celebrated, got in royal shit from Jehovah eh?) and that Jehovah "HATES" anyone celebrating their burf-days. There was absolutely no mention or insinuation that this kid was allowed to even pretend that this was a "personal decision" but rather a fear of facing eternal damnation by a loving God if he ever went to a birthday party.

Yepper. I was secretly giggling and laughing my ass off shocked when they came right out and said that there were alot of yunguns leaving. The bony old fool elderly brother was right pissed off most concerned because the young ones know the GB are full of shit are being seduced by Satan's world and there ain't a damn thing they can do about it.
Oh, I almost forgot: This Ol' System of Things lasts longer than the Energizer Bunny is "nearing it's completion" and that they've run out of ideas how to scare everyone "the time is short".
LOL Mary!! Thanks for the great review.
I don't know if I'm going to the assembly this summer. My jw hubby hasn't said anything yet and I haven't asked. We have alot going on during the month that the assembly is scheduled. There are 4 or 5 district assemblies scheduled in our area, so I don't know if we will be able to make one of the weekends. I don't mind going it gives me a chance to keep up with all of the crap new light.
Last years assembly they were spewing out on how the media was telling lies about them. Then they would turn around and read the "glowing" reports that were in the media that showed them in a good light at the very same assembly.
I asked my jw hubby if the media is spreading lies, why doesn't the watchtower sue. He couldn't give me an answer.
