  Before You Actually Stopped Meetings, How Many HATED Being There?

  by minimus in

  when i listen to anything at the meetings, it is with a critical eye.

  i really can't stand going, especially today.

  did you feel that the meetings were grating and extremely irritating, just before you stopped going altogether?

  I would think that crying because you were at the meetings would be proof that you "HATED" it!

  Oh, yea...It was terrible. The only good thing that came of that was no one questioned me when I stopped going to the meetings.

  Near the end I was so uncomfortable in the Kingdom Hall that I cried during meetings.

  somebody sent me this email.

  i thought the older ones would enjoy the memories, and the younger might enjoy hearing about the strange and simple times of their elders.

  Hair? The long and the short of it!

  teenyuck made a comment about men with long hair.

  this caught my eye because i grew my hair long as a protest to the j-duds.

  i am well known in my home town and when the duds see me they know right off i have 'gone bad'!

  My point was that going bald has nothing to do with a man letting himself go.

  This is true... I don't really consider men with shaved heads "going bald" anyway. They have conquered their baldness and appear more confident because they aren't holding on to their hair. My best friend isn't balding and probably never will, but he shaves his head anyway because it's comfortable for him and a lot of women like it.

  Yikes! 'Scuse me, Orbit, I've gotten lax. I'll start growing that hair back right now! Sorry for being a slob and deciding to get lazy and go bald.

  Hey now! I never made an implication that bald men are lackadaisical or sloppy! I understand that hair loss is beyond one's control (in both men AND women...) and I think bald is attractive. My point was that married women that cut their hair short and/or gain a little weight are no worse than married men who "let themselves go." You obviously have not let yourself go, so what's the worry?

  In order to post the image it has to be hosted on a site. You can join a free hosting site, like www.strike9.com , and have your own space for images or if you only want to host this particular image and don't expect to host any other images, I can upload it for you on my Strike9 account. If you want me to upload it for you, you can e-mail it to me at [email protected] and I will post it here for you now. Otherwise, using Strike9 is user-friendly and you shouldn't have too much trouble opening and posting from an account there.
