That's what I would do have a couple of glasses of wine. It helped. Once a pioneer sister was suspicious and approached my Sister to ask her if I had a drink before the meeting. My Sis told her I did, she (the pioneer sister) never did ask me personally though, lol. I am sure they had a nice conversation in service the next day.

8shooters? Drinking before meetings? Anyone?
by goofy inok, up to the last i would make sure and have a few drinks before i went to the meeting.
it helped me relax as i am very hypertense and up to the last was going crazy listenning as i truly believe the speakers were getting more boring than before.
i never did but thought it would be cool to sneak a shooter in your purse and down it in the restroom mid-way, but i can't drink hard liquor straight, so that didn't happen.

Can you eat blood now?
by Brummie ini have no trouble with transfusions to save peoples lives but recently we went to a wedding and one of my little lads had been up to the buffet and come back with a plate of food, on it was little circles of black pudding (blood sausage), he didnt know what it was (i have never brought it home so he hasnt seen it before) but just threw it on his plate anyway.
while he wasnt looking i took it off and threw it away!
couldnt bring myself to let him eat it and i still couldnt eat it because of the background in jws.

The Bible does say abstain from blood. And do not eat blood. Besides that it is just horrible to think about yuck!

Honesty, I wouldn't go. I would send a gift and regrets. If I were married and my husband was not welcome, I could not go and if he does go, your husband will just hurt by their actions.

"You know it is, you know!"
by Redneckgurl ini kept hearing these words from my mother today, she kept saying, "you know it is the truth" "you know the end is coming" "you know there is only one true religion, there is only one truth" "you know, you know, i know you do".
aaaaahhhhhggggg!
it makes me sick to hear her say that, i have always responded to those words with "yeah, i know", but this time i didn't.. a friend that i haven't spoken with in quite a while from the kh da'd herself the other night, i found out.

Boy, can I relate to you. My Mom is always telling what I know too. I know this is the Truth. I know this is the only organization doing Jehovah's will. I know I know, I know. I want to scream "No I don't know that!!!!!!" but it would hurt her to bad. I just tell her, "Mom, you know we hold different views", Which is bad enough. I just wanted to let you know I empathize with you, but sadly, I have no answers.

Ever have a day...
by joannadandy inmy whole week has been very stressful...i am working on my resume and essay to get a placement for student teaching...because numbers of student teachers are so high, and numbers of teachers willing to accept us are so low, well pressure is on to impress.
we've been lectured for the last two months that if you don't strike on the formula they want, your gone.
if you have one grammatical error, you're gone.

I knew some drinkers in the congregation but they would not consider drinking before the meeting as they wanted to stay alert. Hell, I wanted to be out of it up to the last, lol. Did any of you ever use this tactic or similar ones?

Your favorite Watchtower oddities
by logansrun inyou know, there are some things phrased that are just so, so....watchtoweresque.
what are some things you see that remind you of some wt foibles?
one thing that always cracks me up is when an article or book (or post) uses too many exclamation points.

The congregation "parties". They actually called them parties. Come on..I have been to some parties and the ones held in the congregations do not qualify. You sit around a pot luck and talk about the latest meeting or servicing experience. If your lucky someone gets a game going somewhere, but no one wants to be competitive and actually keep score. And the clothes should not be revealing or sexy.
I could show them how to party. I think I will send out some invites to a party--my style
