Well, if it helps, I decided not to go. Maybe had the convention been closer but I decided I had better things to do, like spend time with my wife and my child. Driving 3 hours to Philadelphia wasn't worth it but someday, especially if I live closer, it will be on my to do list.

I going to picket my parents convention this weekend!
by Atilla inok, my parents have pissed me off so much with their denial and their refusal to even acknowledge my complaints against the borg.
they pretend everything is perfect at the kingdom hall and expect me to play nice to their dub friends so as to protect their own reputation.
this weekend in philadelphia, they are going to to their little convention and i have some evil thoughts.

The young ex-Bethel elder guy in our hall had a laptop with an external floppy drive so he could keep publisher records but the records were not technically on his hard drive. Always thought it was weird, now I just realize that was just normal behavior.

Impregnated with Wrong Sperm
by simplesally indid you read the story about the lady who got inseminated with the wrong sperm?
it was not her fiance's sperm, who is black, the lady is black as well.

Even if you could get a free room there at Bethel, why would you want to unless of course you just wanted to have some fun. Plus, from having stayed at Walkhill before, I can attest that their cable selection sucks and no vibrating beds. No fun.

Real 'truth' for many aging witnesses.
by Doubtfully Yours intheir mother organization fed them that the new system would be here by now.
therefore, they failed to make financial plans for today.
and, guess what?

I think my parents will be deluded until the end of their lives. Recently, because my parents are moving and cleaning things out, I found an anniversary card (the only thing they celebrate of course) from my dad to my mom. In the card was all the typical romance blah, blah, but at the end my dad said to my mom hang in there, the new system is almost here. Both of my parents have bad health, my mom with rumatoid arthritis, my dad with chonic ulcers and migrains and to see them putting all their hope in a fantasy is very sad. Oh well.

Yeah, being half raised in the truth can sometimes be worse than being completely immersed in the truth. Those half raised kids, at least in our KH were always looked upon with a closer eye. Even though, theretically, those half raised kids should be given the most attention, however they are oftne ignored and cut our of events. If you have a nuclear family, both parents in the truth, go to every single meeting, field service at least once a week, you will be fine. Otherwise, I found that you are most often labled a freak. The one good things, even though more painful, is the fact that you might see the hypocrisy sooner, and escape that much sooner.

Hey Sword of Jah,
Do you want to come with me, I could use an assistant. We could shame our selves together
I know some people say move on and I actually am very close to moving on, this site has helped very much. To picket a convention might be one of the last things I need to do in order to feel completely free.

When I was a good little dub pioneer: lived in PA and got as far as Virginia until age 21, really knew my way around my county and my one horse town though.......
After gaining my independence:
took a road trip to Key West
backpacked around Western Europe for 2 months and visited England, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Canada-oh, wait that was just a girl from Canada, never mind
flew out to Maui and got married, on the way back, drove up the California coast
I've seen a little but as soon as I become a teacher in two years, I plan to dust off my passport and really start seeing some places.

They pretend everything is perfect at the Kingdom Hall and expect me to play nice to their dub friends so as to protect their own reputation. This weekend in Philadelphia, they are going to to their little convention and I have some evil thoughts. Everyone from my old KH will be there along with my parents and I'm thinking it may be time to crash the party.
So, anyone here ever picket a convention? How close can I get, what should I put on my picket sign, where can I get one of those bull horns, anyone want to join me? I'm thinking about driving down this Friday early morning and having some fun. Another funny thing is that the convention is a some rinky dink convention hall on or near Temple University and is Thur.-Sat not Fri.-Sun. My dad doesn't work during the summer but I can only imagine the typical dub having to take off an extra day of work just to attend. Anyways, I'll let everyone know if I decide to go and if I do, I will take plenty of pictures on my digital camera.
