Masterbation........I remember them reading an "experience" one time of one young bro who just couldn't stop whacking off (after all, he was 19 years old) and he felt so guilty that he committed suicide. Gee, I wonder who or what it was that instilled this enormous guilt on this poor kid-----then again, this "experience" is probably about as real as the Easter Bunny.

Minimus asked: Why do convention attendees applaud after the prayer???

They're thanking Jehovah that the 3 days of torture has finally ended.

Here's one that just came up.

Several young people went and played paintball. We all got fussed at for "making war"...

Remember not getting to play laser tag??

Thanks Mary, for the clarification.

lol I remember those trips up to Big Bear. They were fun.

the trip had to be cancelled unless a married couple went along.

So all the single folks could watch this couple hold hands, sit next to each other, and retire to the same room together ( and only God knows what else) (hopefully they weren't to loud). I used to hate watching married couples be all cutesy, when I didn't have anyone to be cutesy with.

At one of these Big Bear trips. We had an anniversary party for one of the married couples. They had enough nerve to tell a group of about 40 singles people not to be in a rush to get married. lmbo easy for them to say they didn't have to sleep in their bed alone.

Saying they don’t have mandatory donations….when other churches don’t either. They make a big deal out of some churches passing a collection plate when they do something no less intrusive—put the collection box in the back and pressure you from the pulpit—oops, I mean platform.

Having a party smoke.

You can get drunk every weekend for 30 years. Nothing happends.

Smoke one cigar and your'e out.

Smoking gets you involved with the demons.

on chaperones,

we had a couple in their late forties/early fifties that were "dating" and intended to get hitched. it was hysterical to see that they arranged for a chaperone (usually someone in their 20s) every time they were together

and then one recently separated brother sat down next to me in the front row *because it was standing room only with no other seats available* at the time i too was separated from my first dubby hubby. the elders made a HUGE STINK over it and chastised him to death!

While we're discussing chaperones, let me say how great it is to get a free meal because 2 people are afraid of having sex!!
