April 12, 2006. The Memorial and also my 20th wedding anniversary. My husband was giving the talk - I sat in the back row of the back room with my two daughters knowing this was the last one. I was tired of a marriage that centered around a religion and it's members. The 3 of us always came last - I was through with the marriage, the KH, the religion, the so called friends and the town. I walked out on it all that night.

The last meeting you ever went to.......
by watersprout ini don't know whether this has ever been asked, so i apologize if i'm repeating.. what did you do at the last meeting you ever attended?
did you stay for the whole thing?
what made you realize that this was your last meeting, or did you not know it would be your last meeting??.

If I ran the WTS ...
by Simon in... and wanted to disrupt sites like this one and activities of 'apostates' in general, what would i do?.
would i send apologists who were obviously on the side of the wts to spew out the typical wts message, ones that would be quickly labelled and disagreed with?
maybe ... it would get people riled up.

The classic features of a JW wedding are:
by highdose infirstly a wedding/sales talk that mostly features heavily on how the woman should behave (hint, doormat) and lightly brushes over the fact of the husbands bevhaviour ( oh yeah he should treat her well).
the reception normaly at some crummy comunity hall with yellowed ceilings and chucks of damp plaster falling off the walls.
the seats normaly arranged facing eachother all around the edge, so that theres a huge unused space in the middle and everyone is climbing over everyone elses legs to get to their chair.. a big spread donated by everyone, normaly an ode to food poisoning.

In the late 70's I was part of a (JW) wedding party that had 7 bridesmaids. After the wedding and before the reception, the whole 14 party entourage and the new bride and groom drove (in 3 packed cars) to some dive motel where the bride and groom consummated their wedding vows. We (14) all waited outside (for about 3 minutes) until the Bride and groom rejoined us and we all drove to the reception. I do not think anyone in the party including B & G were over 18.

What a great thread!
My reception was at a gorgeous restaurant, with a sit down dinner and endless flowing booze. Everyone really enjoyed drinking except me - I was underage.
If I ever tie the knot again it will be on a beach, barefoot, with only people I like. So stupid to throw a wedding and invite 300 people you cannot stand.

Doubtful's Review of Special Day Assembly
by doubtful ini hate assemblies.
i can't stand the contrived, rehearsed, robotic sound of the interviews and experiences.
i can't stand the repeated references to the fds, and i especially can't stand the college education bashing that seems to be thrown in there in just about every other talk.. here's my assesment of the assembly:.

looky looky - A 'real' J-dub forum! (are they becoming normal???)
by Reality79 inso did the 'da society' give these dub internet savvies permission to start a forum?
because last i checked, the ole boys in their oversized brooklyn bunker didn't want their members on the internet unless it was to view their own official websites.
i thought maybe it was an apostate forum until i read their long winded, typically condescending jdub style membership guidelines:.

So sorry you are going through this! You will find (in time) that being single is WAY MUCH BETTER than being in a strained marriage.

As my father said .."It is like a time out for a naughty child"
And as I replied "I will let you know when I feel like taking that time out in one of those uncomfortable back row chairs."

The JW funeral talk outline - poor taste or REALLY poor taste?
by Mr. Falcon inso i attended a funeral for a jw who passed away (non-"annointed) and i would have to state that although i have heard the standard funeral talk outline for dozens of funerals i've attended, i never really took the time to listen.
and my god, i was cringing.
the outline is essentially broken down like this:.

They always read the scripture..."better the day of one's death than the day of his birth..."
SUCH ABSOLUTE DISRESPECT - especially for someone that was not considered old. What were the parents thinking?..."Oh yes, we should be happy our child died - much funner than when she was born."
