Meetings are just always about governing praise as always .
So is the literature.
meetings have always been bad.. if paul had to "command" people to not forsake the gatherings, the meetings must have been really bad.. considering that jesus said in matt 18:20 "for where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there i am in their midst.”".
and then in matt 11:28-30: "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.
take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-temperedi and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

Great post.
On a side note,,if you caught GG4GB live feed on youtube this evening
And his brother was co-hosting with him.
They touched largely on what is happening in the state of Pennsylvania.
How not only are the elders at risk of being strung-up legally in the courts,,,,but their wives could be too. For obstruction of justice. Yes. Thats right. They could lose their homes, vehicles and everything they own.
And the best investment to make right now,,would be to hire a lawyer.
“a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.
he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.
he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….
Long Haired Girl;

I think its "blind ignorance" and not,,,"blind obedience" which keeps the $heeple tethered to the Borg
If you heard GG4GB live feed this evening,,his brother who was co-hosting the show coined the expression ""quantum ignorance".
When,,,clearly presented with all the evidence staring at you point-blank in the face and you "willfully" turn a blind eye to it all.
Things like the Australian Royal Commission,,UN NGO,,,607vs587,,whats happening in Pennsylvania on and on...
When presented with such factual evidence and willfully turning a blind eye to it they coined the term '""quantum ignorance".
That was brilliant!!!
i'm not sure if anyone remembers me since i do not post here much anymore.
i sometimes pop in around christmas time to see if anyone is interested in exchanging christmas cards like we used to back when i first posted on this site.
speaking of which, the holiday season will soon be upon us.. if you recall, i was married to a jehovah's witness and i had a daughter i spoke of a lot.
Its a form of ""hypnosis"",, what Rick is currently talking about on SixSreens.

Ive heard a circus overseer tell me recently that he who needs to work on meeting nights or field serv-us time,,like on Saturdays,,is ""spiritually immature"".
Now ignorant is that???
When you consider all the people who work 2nd shift,,like the 3 to 11pm shift or nightshifts these days.
But when you hear some ignoramus who is soooo completely out of touch with reality.
I guy who has probably never worked a full day in his life,,,changed a tire on a car,, or applied for a job.
That comment from a circus overseer struck a nerve like I nobody ever could

Leaving the WT Borg is like leaving an abusive partner on so many levels.
You hear ""where else would you go?"
Thats a gaslighting,,thought-stopping technique!
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.

Maybe to resurrect this thread a bit is coming to realize the best way to not be "drained or tired"" is perhaps by not being there (at the KH).
I know sunk cost fallacy.
One of the worst feelings is realizing you've been duped,suckered,,,hoodwinked or whatever.
Numerous reasons why the $heeple look drained,, tired or whatever.
i haven't posted on here for years.
i also don't frequent this forum like i used to.. i have posted my story before, like 8 years ago.
i have been a baptized witness for the last 30+ years, but have not attended meetings in the last 15 years.
Just dont say anything,,,or tell anybody,,,,,if possible & you should be just fine.🐵
