I was at the Atlanta convention (dont remember if it was 7 or 8 days) and I am vague on the year. I thought it was early 70s? I was a kid just running around with other kids so everything is pretty vague.
The food was the best part. That should tell you something.

Mine is similar..
I had a wonderful Grandfather and a fussy but good hearted Grandmother who took me away for a few weeks of wonderfulness every summer.
No meetings, no praying, no list of what was wrong and that I shouldnt do...
My grandmother worked afternoon shift as a nurse at the hospital, leaving my grandfather to entertain me. He liked to spend his afternoons fishing in the ocean with those long lines you cast from the beach.
I would wander wherever my heart lead me, collecting shells and meeting other children, always ending up at the boardwalk for a snow cone my grandfather and given me a coin for.
I remember feeling freedom then in the sun and the salty tang of the air.
Back at home, my mom talked a lot about a paradise but my grandparents actually provided it.

The "faithful slave" urges confession in latest Watchtower!
by The Searcher inwatchtower october 2017, page 11, par.
17 - confess and abandon secret sins.
some christians who have committed a serious sin try to cover it over in order to avoid embarrassing themselves or disappointing others.

People are scared to confess for the same reason they are scared to leave...
a person could lose their entire family and social structure.
So when an article like this comes along it heightens the feelings of guilt over trivial (and sometimes more weighty) wrongdoings.
Then what happens?
To relieve the torturous guilt feelings the individual does more.
More donating of time and money.
More self flagellation about trying to walk the straight and narrow.
Also, the individual "gives up stuff" maybe its watching sports.
Maybe its watching TV in general. Maybe its social time...
whatever it is the poor person makes up some kind of penance and tries to carry it out.
This all can only benefit the Org. Their lazy words in the article are meant to be a guilt trip punch to the gut, like cracking a whip on the poor publisher who hasnt managed to be a "perfect" Witness yet.

Ah great picture oppostate. Eye of the beholder and all that.
I tend to fall hard for intellectually sexy. My latest fascination is Jordan Peterson. He gets better and better looking to me the more he talks!

What "Rules" Did The Elders In Your KH Make?
by minimus insome congregations were known as liberal and others were considered very conservative.
back in the 1970s a nearby congregation made all speakers who gave public talks a white shirt to wear.
if a speaker came in wearing anything but white they were brought into the library and were given a white shirt!

No cowboy boots
No ear piercings beyond one per ear (sisters only - need I even say that?)

What made you stay "in" even when you knew it wasn't the "truth"?
by mentalclarity inso i've been thinking a lot about why i stayed a jw for so long even though i had always had doubts about the doctrines.
i was born into the religion, left and came back as an adult for another decade.
some of the things that come to mind (besides the threat of shunning-and this isn't to minimize that very real threat) was:.
