Personaly I`d rather be anywhere than a JW assembly...OUTLAW
Yo, I could barely keep myself from uncontrollable laughter here...damn you are SO right Outlaw! I can remember doing ANYTHING to get away from the sessions...now that I think of it I dont think I EVER was really a JW, just playin the part...maybe that's why I am so distanced from the whole emotional aspect surrounding it...
Anybody remember pulling the following stunts?
- extended 'washroom' trips, which turned into forays out onto the street to a nearby arcade?
- finding a secluded stairwell to visit with youre favorite sister?
- 'volunteering' for cleaning or food duty, only cause you knew that you'd miss the max amount of talks?
- being an Attendant, 1 so you could be out in the hall and 2 so you could get to do the 'head count' (cmon guys, y'all know the real deal about the head count !!!!
Damn I guess I was a baddie...
Listen Dung (damn I hate callin ya that LOL), youre intentions may be noble, and if you plan to quietly protest from the other side of the street (after all, this is the standard that is enforced by police with almost any other public protest of any organization, funny how they don't give the JWs the same buffer zone...) I see nothing wrong with that......but I have a bit of experience with extremely bitter "apostates", ok? My father was one of them. The ones I always ran up against didnt set up an information booth or quietly hold a sign, they marched up nand down in front of the stadium, sometimes outright blocking the path of passerby's (once when I was an attendant I had to escort two 'worldy' people who said 'what the fuck is the matter with those morons, I aint a Java Witness" LOL) and most of them shouted and screamed at the top of their lungs. That IS fringe lunatic behaviour, sorry to tell ya!
Hey I just had a funny thought, remember when way back in the 20s or something the JWs used to picket the other religions' assemblies, with placards saying "Religion is a Snare and a Racket"??? I just had a vision of xJWs with a poster that read "JWs are a Snare and a Racket"...TOO FUNNY!!
