Things you did to pass the time at meetings/service/assemblies/conventions/memorials

by OneDayillBeFree in

i'm currently at the meeting again... i'm always in the back working the sound cause everyone else can't seem to work it and i'm mostly on my phone reading jwn or writing, or doodling or sometimes i just stare at the audience to see who's falling asleep or daydreaming.

its really the only way i can still sit through these things.. but i remember getting the number of a girl i used to like at one district convention and we would text each other during the program and talk about how boring it was.. i also remember sneaking out of a circuit assembly and going to see a car show that was going on right next door.

that was fun!.

@baltar447 it's really quite funny now that I look back on it! I can't believe I did all of that!

@Paralipomenon you should! I'd really like to see them! I have some crazy doodles on my bible teach book!

Once when I was around 14 the memorial was being held at a theater so me and an old friend who hated the Borg decided that we were gonna sneak out and watch a movie instead. Well, it got even crazier when we went behind the theater screen and to our amazement stumbled upon the table containing the unleavened bread and the wine.

My friend looked at me and smiled then said, "wanna go to heaven?" then I said "why not" then we each broke off a piece of the bread, ate it, stated how gross it was, then took a sip of the wine. After gagging for about a minute we then sneaked out for about 10 minutes and went to see one of the alien movies. My conscience bothered me for almost a year after that. Then I just stopped caring!

Wow! Now that I think about it, I was quite the lil rebel... Hehe

So that's how I have passed the time over the years at many endless lifeless pointless meetings and events of the watchtower.

What about you?? What did you do?

Preaching on rainy days... What a joke!

by OneDayillBeFree in

so here i am, sitting in a 4 door "theocratic" car, with 2 other ubber dubs in a gas station.

seriously i must have some kind of record posting on here while in doing "spiritual things"!

of course, my smartphone does help!

OneDayillBeFree

Believe me Robdar, if I could I would leave right now! And never look back! But there are other things here beyond my control that are preventing me from reaching my freedom!

But trust me when I tell you,

One day I WILL be free!

Hence my name...

For now all I can do is wait, be patient and endure.

I hope you and others can understand.

Oh and have you ever gotten a watchtower & awake wet before?? Actually any publication from the Borg wet turns to toilet paper!!

Especially those memorial invitations!

Well, it's raining.

And not just a little drizzle!

No! It's freaking pouring out here!

Theres absolutely no one outside right now! And whoever is out is in no way trying to have a religious conversation!

I mean could you imagine talking about the how god will lovingly kill you if you do not take our damn magazines while it pours?!

What an amazing WASTE of time! You couldn't find a better way to waste your life seriously! Like who else does this??? I'm about to tell these brothers that I have to go do something and just head for home and sleep in like a normal person. I mean one thing is preaching on a beautiful saturday, where you wish you could just be doing something else but on rainy days like this, I mean c'mon!

All these guys are really doing is counting time! Now they want to go to Starbucks!

Did you guys ever do "the lords" preaching work on rainy days?! Any interesting experiences stories??

Secret signal to find each other at District Convention

by RayPublisher in

last year this was brought up and it was a great idea but maybe a bit too late.

do you remember the "secret signal" that was going to be used?

it should not be mentioned in the main thread, only through email and pms.

OneDayillBeFree

Well I'm still in but I consider myself an undercover. I will be going to several assemblies and conventions this year since I have to work in various departments... I would like to know the secret sign to see if I find someone! It would be great!

What do you think about this?

by OneDayillBeFree in

there's so much going on in my life right now but i'll be posting more about that later.. .

to get straight to the point (i'm actually in the meeting right now) my mother has been very depressed about a lot of things lately.

she is a regular pioneer and is a jw who many think is happy but she's a good faker and knows all to well how to put on a fake smile to cover up her true feelings.

To get straight to the point (I'm actually in the meeting right now) my mother has been very depressed about a lot of things lately. She is a regular pioneer and is a JW who many think is happy but she's a good faker and knows all to well how to put on a fake smile to cover up her true feelings.

But just today after service on our way home she told me something that surprised me. She said, "I think you should go to college". Now this may seem like something all mothers tell their children at some point but the thing is that she has always been anti-education, just like my father.

I couldn't believe what I had just heard and nearly drove off the road. I asked why and she said, "I don't want you to waste your life doing nothing for yourself. You should be out there doing what you want!" I told her that I had been wanting to go but that I thougt I wasn't allowed to and she just said that it didn't matter what anyone else thought. Then I asked if my father knew and she quickly replied "No! And dont tell him anything yet!"

This really surprised me! It only got stranger when we were leaving for the meeting and she said out loud so my father could hear, "I'm only going to the meeting because I don't want anyone to say anything about me but I don't want to go at all!"

I wonder if this is just a trick to see how I really feel but I don't know. I remember telling her once that I wasn't sure about my future with the organization.

So what do you think? What should I do? I'll have to cut it short since the meeting is still going on but I look forward to your replies.

Memorial Invitation official first day today

by OneDayillBeFree in

well it's that time of year again and the invitations to another pointless memorial aka reject jesus party is now in full swing.

even though it's only the first day i'm already more than sick of it!

this is the first year i am fully mentally awake for the memorial season, and honestly i'm so sick of it all!

Even though it's only the first day I'm already more than sick of it! This is the first year I am fully mentally awake for the memorial season, and honestly I'm so sick of it all! It's so ridiculous how the brothers and sisters were saying this morning how happy Jehovah must feel that today this holy work is being done on all the earth at the same time... It made me laugh a bit also knowing how they brought back the 30 hour minimum for pioneering this month as predicted by a couple of you guys last year. Now I'm just leaving the cheap invitations in random places... I've thrown away about 5 so far and I'm not in any way encouraging anyone to attend. I'm so ready to leave it all now. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to take the bullshit. So how is it going for you guys still in? Are you enjoying it so far? And for those of you who are out, have you received your invitation yet
