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

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  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!.

  The one meeting I went the the mandatory though optional mask was stifling. So sit there alone or with household wearing a mask, then go on stage and take it off to be close to the never covered or wiped microphone. Disinfect every arm rest, ignore the seat back used for balance when standing.

  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.

  The editors steer it big time. Stories buried or deleted. And it seemed to start bigtime with O.

  today i watched my 1st wt drama video since 30 years ago when i quit as a jw member.

  the strange thing is that i did not choose to start watching this video.

  it was my wife who's never been a witness, who started going over the jw.org site, and came across the new videos.

  They are better. Complete with special effects, some bought from outside expertise. Jonah was good. They fleshed out the characters. Minor things like jonah having a mid 20s unmarried sister bug me. Everyone seems to like Jade and Neeta, jade better because she isn't as prudish.

  I would give them about equal to late 40s early 50s Hollywood. Their new studio will maybe help.

  They still have their narrative though.

  I was a slave laborer on the old dramas too.

  Worst part is BBC is still better than US news when I watch. Mostly their coverage of American stories

  Tie this thread to the depression one. One happy camper, several million disappointed to the point of despondency.

  Always a chance to wrap my Ferrari around a pole. Money to a couple charities, non profit museums that care for things I like, grandkids could live fast and die young.

  GB2 and the uppers have flashed rolexes, apples, and their suits definitely are not even mens warehouse quality. We have also seen the brownstones kept for the upper echelons. Stories of temper tantrums over the lake view from the APARTMENTS.

  In knorrs day there was an off limits area known as the most holy
