  i went to the district convention in san diego.

  i got to see first hand the good, the bad, and the ugly of what transpires at a convention.

  the worst fears of what i was warned about never materialized.

  Uncaring Attitude of the Society

  i just read the account of a an elderly lady who passed out in a distict convention in canada today (06/20/08).

  it seems that as some of the attendees were trying to help by doing cpr, the "brother" on the platform a few feet away speaking did not even pause.

  when his talk ended a few minutes later and the lady was still being tended too, the platform folks just announced the next speaker as if nothing was happening.

  An elderly sister died during our CA several years ago near the end of the lunch break. Paramedics came in, carted her away...and then it was business as usual.

  I threw them away (and let me tell you....I felt SO GUILTY when I threw the Bible in the trash ). However, I recently found some old Watchtowers and Awakes in my room and in the trunk of my car. I'm sure those will be meeting their demise soon.

  what are the worst rules you've ever heard being dispensed from the platform?

  "christians do not dance to ymca, as it promotes homosexuality.

  "hairstyles that defy gravity also defy joe hoobie.

  No PG movies. Not PG-13, but PG! The brother said that the PG stood for Pure Garbage. If I recall correctly, this was said from the platform at a DC. My friend and I just looked at each other like .

  anyone else hate this practice?

  uve been sitting all day 4 three days @ this place and u just wanna hurry up and finish ur cleaning assignment so u can go out to eat w/ ur friends, but bro.

  special speaker from bethel/or do has to give a one man symposium during his prayer recapping every single moment of the past 3 days.. its like they have this formula that they use to determine how long a prayer should be.

  I once counted a prayer that was over 10 minutes long. I know this because I was staring at the clock the whole time. Once I started driving myself and not relying on my parents transportation, I made a run for it at the beginning of the last song.

  Am I the only one that Cannot PAY ATTENTION to Jehovah?

  by Sparkplug in

  2. friends

  now i hate to sound as add as i am, but usually if i read something twice i can make myself focus if i am wandering.

  but everytime i start to read anything that has something to do with the wtbts i cannot get it even after repeated attempts.

  it is as if charlie browns mom is right in my ear and my mind will not register.

  Omg, I'm the same way! If I try to read something from the WTBTS, my eyes glaze over.

  Only my ex-husband and that was just so I could get a Biblical divorce. It wasn't any of my business to "rat" out anyone else.

  at our recent butt numbing, mind dulling, sleep inducing district assembly on saturday morning there.

  was a talk where the speaker said that we are going to make a list that shows the contrast between.

  jehovah's organization and satan's organization.

  College is the debil!

  The congregation I grew up in disbanded, because people kept leaving. Those remaining had to start attending neighboring congregations. Heh.
