"My marriage is much stronger since I stopped associating with my disfellowshipped parents" . . .gag!!
I bet they made up those quotes and names and none of the people in the article even exist.

Puke-making article on WTS homepage
by yaddayadda in"discipline that yields peaceable fruit".
http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1988/4/15/article_01.htm.
notice the blatant abuse of context in saying that the 'no greeting' treatment to be given at 2 john 9-11 (persons bringing an anti-christ teaching to your home) should be the same as 1 cor 5 (persons who wilfully practice sins of the flesh).

Sleeping at assemblies and conventions
by free2beme inmy in-laws still attend meetings and defend the faith to the best of their limited ability.
i saw limited, as their understanding of the faith ended somewhere around the 1980's and when you bring up new understanding, they think it might be apostate and do not listen.
there not alone, trust me, several witnesses do not grasp the changes.

You bet I used to fall asleep . . . .my mom would only ever use a red ink pen and she would hit my sister and I over the head if we fell asleep with it.
We used to bring my grandma with us and I could never understand how she'd stay awake during the whole session. Not once did I ever catch her napping.
We used to have our district conventions at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh and my family usually never got there in time for the good seats so we ended up always sitting in the nose bleed sections. During some of the LONG prayers (especially the closing ones) I used to think I would accidentally tumble forward from standing so long with my eyes closed.
Oh and I remember being told to not go and get in line for the food before the prayer but you would ALWAYS see tons of people leaving during the song so that could get in line. I guess they didn't appreciate the "spiritual food" from the prayer.

Worst/strangest bookstudy group
by Virgochik inok, i was reading the "worst bookstudy book" thread, and it got me thinking about the worst book study groups i went to.
once, my dad was study conductor and the study was held in an elderly sister's home.
there was antique furniture and doilies on the tables.

The worst one was in this elders house when I was growing up. He had 9 kids and they had only one working bathroom. There was NEVER any toilet paper, soap or a hand towel to dry your hands on.
The couches smelled like pee and you often had ants running over your toes in the summer time. Oh I forgot to add that there was never any air conditioning either.

Why is that person looking at the brothers and sisters holding hands during the prayer instead of having their eyes closed???
Sounds spiritually weak to me!

Awake mag
by looking_glass ini thought they were doing away with it.

My memory may be wrong, but about 12-14 years ago wasn't there an article in the Awake on diarrhea? I remember this old sister making a comment about how "she couldn't get enough of the magazine" because she was placing so many. . . the whole KM was practically rolling!
I always tried to present the Awake to the householder first . .because it didn't seem as nutty as some of the Watchtower covers.

How do you feel now that you've left the Watchtower?
by Honesty indo you have any regrets that you have turned your back on joe hoba by your departure?.
i bet you are shaking in your socks when you reflect on the following spiritual food dispensed by those loving brothers in new york:.
it is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the "slave" as we would to the voice of god, because it is his provision.

Like many, I was afraid for a while after I got disfellowshipped.
Everytime a natural disaster would occur I would think "oh man . .this is it . .Armageddon is coming!"
I don't think that way anymore thank goodness!
