it was amazing how everyone would sit through the torture of the infinate talks and "skits" with an incredibly bored look on their faces, yet when the drama got closer, the apathetic faces piped up, became animated, excited.

it was, as far as i could see the "best of the worst" piece of the programme, and by god, even though i spent almost the entire time at the assemblies outside feeding ducks, i was always in one of the front rows for the drama.

I made a few comments in another thread, and still giggle at them.....

Remember one year my roommate whom I was sitting with, along with a whole wack of young kids said out loud, and I mean LOUD, "That sucked!". He said it three times.

When just coming into the truth, everyone would tell me about the dramas, the dramas, the dramas, yada yada yada...... I can honestly say that they were absolutley pathetic..... I remember, when they were in "the present", and just about going into "The past" (or other way around), one of the lines for the young boy was "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A DASTARDLY DEED?". Well, we all BUST OUT LAUGHING, AND COULDN'T CONTROL OURSELVES. People were pissed off at us, for making so much noise, but we seriously couldn't help it.

All in all, they were 1 hour of utter boredom, and utter stupidity. So predictable, WTF?

Did you want it to be "the truth" or..

did you just get the eck out of there and couldnt give two hoots?

or maybe you left and then researched it to confirm your reasons for leaving?

i must have been a real dumb ass cus i held on by the skin of my teeth wanting it to be "the truth", what a twit, did all my research internally and must have spent the last 3 years of being a jw battling against the evidence and getting a bigger headache for it.

I really did want it to be too, razorblade. I really tried, and made "the truth my own". And, what was the result? Nothing. I was not happier. I was far more misreable.... and genuinely disliked many in the congregation.

Now I know, and will not be returning. Never have I been happier as right now....

TO THE ELDERS: LEAVE US ALONE!!!

by minimus in

the local needs part dealt with this need.

too many are saying we don't want to confide in the elders and let them shepherd us.

perhaps, if the elders realized that they are nothing but a pain in the butt, they would just leave everybody alone!

shamus

Minimus,

That is the attitude to have - you owe them nothing, so give them nothing. Go out to the park during your schedued meeting and they;ll get the picture. Just fade away, but be firm about it, or they will be harassing you for years.

.

some of us left simply because we didn't believe it any more.. some us couldn't stand the hypocrisy.. some of us left so's to have more sex.

some of us saw another light shining brighter.. some of us wanted more material possessions.. some of us needed more control over others than the borg would allow.. what do you think?.
