Inasmuch as I'd still "prefer" to attend to maintain "good standing" in this increasingly paranoid org, no.. the speaker and WT conducter can easily figure out my feelings.

Hello. That is indeed good news! I am happy to read these stories. I don't have any JW family members but I also hope that my "close friends" in the org wake up. I care about them, too. -

Never had a crazy JW-related dream until today
by onightdivine inin my dream a while ago, the wt had already started "encouraging" everyone to contribute 30. either it meant at least 30 hours of "preaching" or 30% tithe.
the next scene is when we all stood up for the opening song at the kh, and lo and behold - the opening lyrics went on like (this is vague but you'll understand the context anyway):.
what a privilege it is to serve the kingdom.

Join in the worldwide work
Have we all exerted efforts
And unselfishly gave our 30.... ?
At this point everyone just looked at each other with an embarrassed "what the heck was that about" smile. I'm not making this up but yay, that was a crazy insane dream.
Anyone else have similar experiences to share?

Really, what's with the huge rings they're wearing???????? They don't look any different from the "worldly materialistic religious leaders" that they always mock. Hypocrites. -

Amazing to see many woke up this year. Yay!
(That's why I thought there were a lot of new names here when I came back/logged in after a year.)

We missed you at the meetings
by punkofnice ina vomit inducing comment.. i asked why do they have to specify 'meetings'?
they never miss us in tesco or the showcase cinema bar.. in their defence, a friend of mine said: 'that's because the meeting is where they normally would see you.'.
well, if they want to see you they can arrange a meal out or something.

No one really cares. No one really MISSES someone. It's more like, "we had a truly meaty spiritual feast.. too bad you weren't there!"
If my experience is similar to some of you here, some "concerned" sister or brother will ask you out for coffee or dinner, talk about what the issue is.. some are fine, some are too preachy but in the end, they will count their hours on you. That hurts. I am sad but I lost almost all my trust in most of them, even the pioneer sisters.

@konceptual99, I agree with you but knowing how extremely unreasonable
(c r a z y) they've become, I don't know what else they can do.

My only concern with this is if the assembly is only for a few hundred people in relatively small venue. Some overzealous brothers might get an idea to triangulate where the wifi signal is coming from. -

The word "cult" itself leads most deep believers to cover their ears and scram. I truly hope they notice just even 1 of the tricks or lies being used by the GB to control their lives.
And I just want to share that the God I knew and loved before I became a JW was more kind and loving than the God the GB has been portraying all these years.
