  What has or would motivate you to attend an Ex-JW meet up...

  by Tuesday in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to get a general consensus of what are the motivations to attend an ex-jw meet up.

  if you've already attended one before, what motivated you the first time or each successive time?

  if you've never attended an ex-jw meet up before what do you think could motivate you to attend one?.

  I would love to attend an apostafest - I'd be willing to travel a considerable distance. We actually talked about going out to Lake Tahoe this year, but we had too many other committments. We live in the far southern end of Illinois, so going pretty much anywhere interesting is going to require travel.

  I don't know what the chances of success are, but I do know that she's a lucky girl to have someone who cares about her trying to wake her up before she wastes her life on the borg.

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

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  2. experiences

  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!.

  I used to nap a lot. If I was feeling frisky, I would daydream about doing dirty forbidden things with Just Ron.

  i may have done it this time!

  i was going to the walgreens to get some cigaretttes and took note of my wife's uncle, my father in law's brother, count drunkula puttering around in his front yard so i tuned the volume on my car stereo to 70 and blasted rob zombie's, "american witch".

  he looked up like he was gonna blast whoever was making the noise pollution but saw it was me driving slowly and looking right at him.

  did you ever look for coc or any other book in a local library when you were a believer or when you began to have doubts?

  how hard is it to find this book in a public library?.

  There is only one copy of CoC in the interlibrary system covering all of Southern Illinois. If I remember correctly, it's located at a community college library in Belleville, IL. When I checked it out, there was a slip from a previous patron in it - someone from Mt. Vernon IL had borrowed it. I left my slip in the book too, complete with my full name and town. Suck on that WTBTS!

  I am *not* a morning person. I hated having to get up early every single morning to either go to work, go in field service, or go to meeting. I feel so much happier and relaxed knowing that I get to sleep in 2 days each week.
