just thought i would share what i learned today sitting for several miserable hours at the circus assembly.. while i took "notes" i just cannot stand trying to type out all the details.
so suffice it to say the entire program can be covered with these few observations.. do more!
give more!

Saturday afternoon part: Kind Elders. Now that one is funny. Why do the Elders need to be reminded to be kind. Don't they have Jehovahs holy spirit?
i have heard that at the international conventions and even at us headquarters, the governing body travel with entourages or bodyguards.
does anyone know this to be a fact?
if so, why?
heyo,.
your favorite garrett here.
so, i'm about to have an elder tell me allll about the failed 1975 doctrine.
i just got word that the brothers of my congregation is "encouraged to attend a special meeting" this saturday.
i was told to bring the od book, and the 9/15/14 and 4/15/15 study wts.
judging by the articles in those, it's going to be another guilt trip to get all us dead-beat kids in our 20s and 30s to "reach out" to be jr. cult leaders.
Let's see....be abused and used by the the loving organization that appreciates no one and takes all our money and dignity or sleep in on Saturday and Sunday & go to park and have fun. Hmmm...which will I choose?
Gee, I wonder why no one is reaching out?
i wonder what the report to the branch would say.. he said " me, you and the wt organization is full of poop".. do we df him?
?.
the funniest i have seen since ages..... http://www.forevereating.com.
conn. firefighter who is jehovah's witness files federal discrimination lawsuit.

Cry babies don't last in the Fire Dept. He will NEVER work in the Fire services again. These guys know your reputation before you walk in the door.
Maybe he is filing the law suit so he can pioneer. If you can't hack the work sue or go on government assistance. It's the JW way!
you have to lead a secret life as a jw.
you're not supposed to over drink, go to night clubs, enjoy worldly concerts, etc.....sex, though is really taboo.
you could never freely talk about your sex life.
I didn't talk to much. I didn't like the feeling of being judged. We always seemed to be the couple who just listened and gave advice. If you ever notice, most JW's are too busy running their mouths, i.e. "I'm pioneering, so and so (usually their kids) are pioneering, serving at Bethel or Need Greaters. Who has time to talk? It seems like everyone (even family) had to one up you all the time. No time for listening.
To this day most don't know why we left. Some are perplexed (nosy) but as usual, we are NOT talking. It's driving them crazy and we are having a great laugh.
