  How many meetings did you actually enjoy?

  by nugget in

  i was talking to my husband and we were trying to work out how many meetings we actually came away from feeling enthused or excited by what we had heard.

  not including pre and post meeting association how many wow moments can you recall?.

  we had to conclude that most of the time in the organisation the meeting was something you endured.

  were you content at the time?

  Sure. MS, pioneering at the time. Totally into it.

  I liked the meetings when I was super-fine. Didn't mean I didn't also look forward to them being over on time and playing hockey afterwords.

  Another 'I hated it the whole time' thread.

  All these people and no one ever admits that at the time they were content.

  Kinda sad.

  No Shorts and T-Shirts After Convention - Remember?

  does everyone remember a few years back, when the km directed that nobody should wear shorts after the convention while out and about?

  i don't have the reference, but i remember a brother in our hall made a comment that night at the meeting while it was being discussed.

  he was a very poor brother, with 3 children.

  The Society is so out of touch that they don't even realize that if the teenagers wore jeans and t-shirts around after the sessions with their badges on it would actually give a positive appearance that there is some level of normalcy in the org.

  2. friends

  no matter what anybody here says, you should never ever disclose to your friends you used to be a dub.. you are either.

  1: an active witless.

  2: weak.

  in time we may even find ourselves preferring such worldly company to that of a spiritual brother or sister.
