Honesty
When hearing the good reports about the 'upbuilding' meetings and the fruitage it produces it makes me wonder how I ever believed any of that blasphemous crap. What really gets me is the instructions in the WT of how you may show genuine concern for others in the cong that are coping with various emotional or physical problems by reinforcing your love for them and inviting them out for a wonderful afternoon in sharing the Kingdom message. Where is the Christian love that Jesus showed individuals? It just is not in their hearts because they don't have any concept of Jesus and the compassion and love He has.

"Aren't all the talks boring as hell when you're away from them for a while"?
I thought that it was a requirement for them to be boring!! They are ALWAYS boring. I went to visit two years ago to the Memorial and to the meeting. Once my aunt kept calling me the prodigcal son, I knew I was through for good!!!! He came back for the well being of himself, I left for the well being of myself!!!!

I escaped after the first meeting and met the stares of several good christians wanting to know why I was leaving half way through
Those were stares of envy - trust me!!

OMG, this is bringing back so many memories, I feel like I'm gonna barf! Mary you are a riot and so right.
And dear Kitties, that sounds so very typical that it doesn't even surprise me, maybe that's why I feel like ralphing!
Reminds me of a "sheparding call" I received many years ago. I was in the process of a divorce from my cheatin elder husband, I had a boatload o kids and no way to care for them, etc. . . I was about ready for the old fetal position myself. I went on 3 day crying jags myself, seriously can you imagine crying for 3 days, dehydration.
The elders that came over were Brother Overbearing and Brother Scared of his Own Shit, as I recall. Brother Overbearing began screaming at me because I was faltering while Brother Scared of his Own Shit sat there with his eyes bugging out. I started sobbing and ran out of My Own House.
And so dear kitties you have company, I am so sorry for what you have been through. Hugs. Speaking of meds, I want to get off the Paxil but the shit is so addictive I can't, well thank god it's non-habit forming like my Doctor said!!!!

Sister, I have to say that your attitude toward 'those in authority over you' may need adjusting. Regardless of whatever punctuation symbols you may be currently having, you should never refer to an elder as a "dickhead" or a "dumb asshole."
You're right. I shud've referred to him as "penis-head" or "a dumb-as-a-post-donkey."
Confusedj asked: Can you next Sunday too and tell us about it?
Depends on how drunk I get!

Two comments on this thread:
1. I hope the posters on this forum who recently started topics along the lines of "I'm thinking of going back to the KH" read these experiences and reflect on the cold, insensitive, business-like manner of the alleged "glorious ones" chosen by God to lead his sheep. These are not isolated incidents, I can assure you, and they expose the WTS for what it is.
2. I had to laugh at:
I'm having my period! ...no matter how much they teach them in elder school, I'll bet that's one subject they don't bother training them for!
This is true
