  the husband and i went to see "house of the dead" the other night, and 30 minutes into it we had to leave because it was so horrible.

  rarely have i seen such bad acting outside of a highschool drama performance, and i have never left during a movie.. thing is, i love going to the movies, so it was a major disappointment.

  have you seen any good ones lately?

  Before and after meetings: What was the conversational quality like?

  by truthseeker in

  i have been in a number of different congregations over the years, and i have to say that the level of conversation i had with my fellow believers, with a few exceptions, was rather poor.. here are some 'opening' comments.. 1) nice to see you at the meeting.

  - i never understood this.

  can you imagine going to a company meeting and saying to your fellow worker, 'nice to see you at the meeting'?.

  the jws always give a lengthly explanation as to why they don't celebrate christmas or birthdays, and then always add the final statement "besides, we give gifts throughout the year!".

  yeah, right!

  okay, lets get an unofficial count of all the people who actually did get gifts on other days of the year.
