My mom is pressuring me into going to the convention this weekend. She has successfully thwarted all of my excuses and now I have to use the standby, " I have to work". My brothers are telling her that they really need to get me to go, it is real important. I don't have the courage to tell her the truth about my feelings. I am really frustrated and after a stressful weekend with my husbands family; we were caught going to a nephew's BD party, I am a nervous wreck. I hate feeling this way and I know that eventually the will force me to be blunt but right now I prefer the "ostrich method", sad I know. Anyway are there threads on the convention, notes and the Drama. My brothers is going on and on about the drama. Sometimes I actually feel like I am going to die for my "inactivity" they are so convincing, I know a lot of you know how I feel. Anyway I will be strong and suck it up,.If I am forced I will start yet another conversation that leaves my mothers upset and me shaking, sounds like fun.

Who Pioneered?
by sass_my_frass inmy two sisters did the right thing, pioneering straight out of school, janitoring to pay for the petrol (one didn't even bother with her final year of school).
it was this kind of fine example that got me guilt-tripped into auxiliary pioneering just after getting baptised at age 20. i only lasted six months; i took a holiday in queensland and returned not knowing much more about life but at least that it's bigger than my little congregation.
i despised the field service, i dreaded the daily schedule and every morning i was on my way out there was this awful countdown from the alarm going off to the first door opening, knowing that it's just a big setup to another depressing humiliation.

Are these invitations being delivered through all congregations or just in the cities where the actual conventions are being held?

I know exactly how you feel. My husband ordered it and I was horrified. He kept bugging me to read it and I of course said NO. He was persistent, remember the WT's encouragement to leave magazines laying around for people in your household, or sharing small tidbits? My husband did just that, he would share small pieces with me and I would eventually ask him to show me. I did eventually pick it up to read. It is great, I strongly recommend getting over that initial feeling of "abhorrence" and "wt training" and dive in. You will be happy that you did.
