  Assembly Dramas:They were so bad.... but.... you waited for them to break away from the monotony!

  you do remember the four day assemblies... sitting outdoors being fried in the sweltering heat,getting heat stroke in the middle of july in an outdoor baseball stadium.sitting outdoors from 9:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. was so much fun while you wore a suit,long sleeve shirt and a tie while your brain fried.

  mom's who had children to take care of,lug strollers,feed all the kids,take them for bathroom breaks and try to not faint from the heat.. the sound and audio was always breaking and barely audible from the wind,airplanes flying over and (if you attended the cicero,illinois circuit )you would smell horse manure from the horse stables next door.. you know that you are a jehovah's witness.... when the only excitement waiting for the drama... where brothers and sisters dress up in ancient cloths,fake beards,fake rocks and fake soldier uniforms and wave their hands incessantly to pretend that they are acting out a drama.the excitement was unbearable!.

  You know, I don't I ever waited for an assembly drama. I was always SO tired I fell asleep at assemblies. Once I was nice and comfy on a cushion, on the steps of a football stadium. All curled up at the feet of an elder (who had a chair, I didn't). I was still fairly new and he obviously felt I ought to wake up. So he started tipping nuts in my skirt. I was quite fed up. Ate a few nuts and went back to sleep.

  As the years went by I progressed to finding an actual chair and sleeping through a good 60% of the assemblies.

  TV and the Media

  i look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?

  i'm sure the uk's bbc does.

  it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.

  Punk - no not that one. He was very, very anti drugs. What I did notice was that a lot of these media people were into astrology, spiritism and homosexuality. Not all, but there was a very strong influence of that stuff. And people weren't that fussed about extra-marital affairs.

  That's worse than 'rice Christian' tactics!

  If you watch the end of this movie, at the end the man says to his wife, "even you were given to me". Ie to keep him in check. I wonder how many this has happened to in WT. I can think of at least one it might have happened to.

  I was going to be a journalist. I did work experience with the local rag. They asked me to write up the sightings of some men covered in china clay dust as a ghost story. When I queried this (because it was a pack of lies) I was laughed at and scorned. For that reason I felt journalism was not for me as I am not a liar.

  Later I got to know some journalists and I told one of them that I had wanted to a journalist. He told me I didn't drink enough to be a journalist. He wrote up stuff for the Daily Mail plus plenty of others.

  we got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.

  also dress up for zoom if you must use it.

  locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.

  UK Gov literature states that symptoms of long Covid are fatigue and brain fog. Sounds like the perfect excuse for never attending.

  Bro with beard was encouraged to shave it off. Carrot held out to him was, "shave it off and be in drama." Part required stick on beard.

  Bro with beard told them to take hike.
