  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!.

  interesting remark i overheard today.

  the physical attendance for the sunday meeting, in my local area, was 10. i tried to find out those on zoom.

  i was told that the zoom attendees wasn’t mentioned.

  From what I see from my parts from a congregation of 100, 60 are on zoom and the rest go to the hall.

  my wife had a hip replacement on june the 17th and while the op itself was apparently succesful ,she has had a reaction to the anesthetic ?

  and has suffered delirium and is still in hospital with no apparent improvement.. its been very distressing for me to say the least.

  sorry if i sound a bit morbid but i just had to share,.

  Far from being confidential, private information is shared among the whole body of elders, especially the COBE. Then it makes its way to all the wives too.

  the last 2 1/2 years have been extremely stressful.

  while the rest of the world was dealing with covid, i was also dealing with cancer.

  in fact it seems none of my doctors knew about it.

  all I'm interested in is facts and helping people like myself who are damaged from being a JW all this is just unnecessary and caused me to lose faith in the ex JW community altogether.
