I dont know how early it is for assembly time, beats me. But we walked in at 11:30 which was near baptizm talk and we were out of there by 1:30. I honestly didnt pay attention to what they were saying, i even brought my bible but never opened it lol. It was strange walking in there after all these years i dont think ill ever go again, if my husband wants to be supportive of his mom thats fine but i think im done with going to anything everrrrr.
went to assembly past weekend lol

Sometimes, I picture myself going back to an assembly or a meeting. I'd definately bring a walkman and have some Motley Crue cranked loud enough to be irritating to the people around me.
But then, I remember how my ass fell asleep and that I could spend my day better listening to Motley Crue while doing yard work.

Sith--can I go with you to hold a sign? I have been fantasizing about doing apostate witnessing.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that.
Brings back memories of when my daughter got baptized. I had not been to any meetings in about 15 years. I think she was about 13 or 14 at the time... maybe 15. Anyway, she wanted me to be there to see her get dipped.
I said I would be. I always try to keep my word.
I had no interest in any of the sessions. So, I got the time that the 'talk' was to be given, added a few minutes to that, and arrived at the site. It was held in an old auditorium that I knew well... from previous years. So, I parked, and walked in a side door. Went right in to the auditorium, and they were just about wrapping it all up - with the questions bit.
I just stood in the back - trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.
They then dismissed for the folks that were going to be dipped... etc. I slipped out, and made my way downstairs to where they had the pool. I got in there - and was able to keep my promise - and see her baptized... then slipped away to outside - and safety.
I even remember a few years later my mom whining about me not getting to see my own daughter getting baptized. I corrected her, and told her I was there - saw it... but didn't see her there. She mumbled something and shut up.
*shudder*
I don't ever want to go back inside one of those places... but they don't bother me all that much anymore.
Regards,
Jim TX
