Well I couldn't bring myself to go to the "Special Talk" that was being held at Copps Colesium yesterday, as I was busy plucking my eyebrows and watching the grass grow.......however, I wanted to know what was so important that they invited only "certain congregations", some who drove up to 3 hours to get there, so I was talking to a Witness who did make the trek. I asked if there was "New Light" on something.....perhaps they were going to apologize for screwing everybody over for the last 130 years. Then again, there's a better chance of Bin Laden converting to Judaism than that happening.
Anyhoo, you know what this "Special Talk" consisted of? Experiences from brothers in foreign lands. Yep, you read that right. Everyone was supposed to sacrifice Saturday afternoon to hear this bullshit. And you wanna hear something even more pathetic? These congregations that were unlucky enough priviledged to be invited were still expected to have their bookstudy Saturday morning, go out in Service and then make the trek to Hamilton to here this crapola. The Witness I spoke to was furious that they had "wasted an entire afternoon" going to this stupid thing. And this is a dedicated Witness I might add, so their reaction was somewhat suprising. They added that others in their Hall were also very angry that they had been going like mad since 8:00am that morning with their kids in tow. With the bookstudy, service and then the talk, they were exhausted and angry---not "refreshed".
So I would like to congratulate Bethel for boring the shit out of everyone and angering faithful Witnesses at the same time. When you start to piss off your most ardent supporters, it's only a matter of time before a good number of them snap. Keep up the good work.
