  What your first realization of hypocrisy in this Religion?

  by days of future passed in

  2. experiences

  my mother became a witness when i was five and i believed that every witness followed what was said at the meetings and the instructions given.

  my naive belief carried on until maybe i was 10?

  at the old conventions, volunteers would come early and pack fruit into net bags so that it could be sold at lunch.

  i just wanted to share my excitement.

  for the first time in almost 30 years, i am not attending the memorial tonight.

  instead, i am spending the evening at home, celebrating with a glass of scotch.

  I got my Memorial invitation today but I just couldn't

  some days ago i posted on another thread that if i ever did get a memorial invitation i would ask for more to give to friends and family but in reality i was going to use it as toilet paper.

  the old lady was just too nice.. i honestly thought she was selling something but nope lo and behold she was a jw giving out memorial invitations.. as soon as i opened the door she hand it to me all the while saying i was invited as well as anyone else in my home to this "very special event" which was the celebration of christ's death.. so i played the role.

  i looked over the invitation like a curious first timer and as i flipped to read the back i paused, looked up at her and said surprisingly "oh, you are those ... um, .... witnesses, jehovah's witnesses!

  Way to go Tenacious! You treated her with respect and she stuck around and listened to you. Who knows?

  There used to be a caretaker that actually lived at the Assembly Hall in Coraopolis (near Pittsburgh). He wasn't a bethelite though. Sweet job, eh?

  @ BourneIdentity:

  "It’s all about appearances, nothing about results or quality. It’s not about what Jehovah thinks, it’s about what their fellow man thinks."

  Now you're getting it.

  My boyhood hall will be going up for sale, if it hasn't already. I don't know how I feel about that to be quite honest. Lots of memories. Some good, some bad.
