Mrs Rocky,
I am so glad to have read your post.
I must say, at the expense of displaying my ignorance. I have never, ever, thought about things from your point of view before.
Thank you for your insight.

Sparks, I really enjoyed reading your post. I know all those people too.
In my old congregation, we had a Sister Ohsospirichal. Always had volunteer talks prepared in the likelyhood that somebody would shit out at the last minute. Famously attired in her usual Laura Ashley number. White ankle socks were no stranger to her and her head was always tilted ever so slightly to the side at a particular angle so as to assist her, (I presume), to look more innocent and child-like.....She was in her fifty's!
We also had Sister Condescending, who would always feel the need to give a better comment than whoever had commented previously, she had always researched more, or expressed what had already been said in a more eloquent manner. She always had her say, mainly because it was her elder husband that usually did the watchtower study.

That is really cruel Beryl. I am so sorry to hear about this. Yet I am not surprised in the slightest.
They appear to be incabable of displaying human empathy to even their own sort. Their main priority seems to be, not bringing reproach upon whatsisnames, name.

What do you think when you go by a Kingdom Hall?
by TresHappy ini drive by a kh every day, since it's very close to my work route, and i was wondering if anyone else secretly cheers that they don't have to go back into one of those things.
when i see a few cars parked there on the weekday, i am so thankful i don't have to go out and talk that stuff to strangers.
any thoughts?

Did you destroy your records/LPs/Tapes?
by RAYZORBLADE ini am just wondering.
for those of you who were jehovah's witnesses back in the late 70s and early 80s, did any of you ever destroy your records/lps or cassette tapes after one of those talks at an assembly about 'demonic music', 'backwards masking' and so on?
i remember i had some records destroyed, but i couldn't do it.

Well, my oldest and best tapes and LPs were put into the attic when I moved. (Never got around to sorting them out) It was a year later when I started "studying". By the time I got baptised, I did get the odd niggle when my consience pricked me and I kept meaning to get around to throwing them out.
I'm so glad that I never. I have a load of coloured vynyl ---(I can never remember how to spell that word) and treasures by The Clash, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Crass, The Damned, The Stranglers, Stiff Little Fingers to name but a few.
No demons present around here, but some bloody good music

Easy, I know lots that did it.
I even knew some that claimed disability and tramped the streets 70 hours per month!
When the rules aren't written, they make up their own.

What don't you miss about meetings?
by kwijibo in.
i don't miss being spoken to like i was someones best friend when i know they wouldn't pee on me if i was on fire.. i don't miss always standing on my own and having no one come and talk to me.. i don't miss having people talk around me about the great time they had at the latest sport/barbecue/dinner get-together which i wasn't invited to because i'm not spiritual enough.. i don't miss not having friends in the truth or out of the truth because i shouldn't mix with wordly people.. i don't miss being so bored for all those hours a week.. i don't miss all the false smiles people give me when i look at them at the hall and the way they look away when i walk past them at the shopping center.. .................. anyone got anymore?

I don't miss..........
Stupid, uncomfortable outfits,
Wearing tights,
Sensible ministry shoes,
Obligitory raincoats,
Wondering if I was wearing too much make-up,
The songs,
The speakers,
The talks,
The lot!
