I WENT TO THE MEETING LAST NIGHT!!
by Mary in
1. jw
2. friends
well, we had the co visit last night and some friends "encouraged" me to go.

i really didn't feel like it, but i wanted to see if there was any "new light" on the pedophile problem, so i went.

not a word mentioned about any internal problems; however, the borg now apparently wants us to dupe people into having a bible study without even knowing it.

Dramas
by In_between_days in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the funniest things i will ever remember as a jw are the "big dramas" at the assemblys.

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 was at the mall last night and my wife and i ran into two jw girls i used to know.

i called out her name and she was very nice but i couldn't resist to mention something to her about her husband.

one night about three years ago my wife and i were out having fun when i saw from a distance two old jw friends, one of which was this girls husband.

What did you do to keep yourself amused at the KH?
by be wise in
1. jw
2. experiences
when i was very young about 12 or 13 my brother [he's mad, not much older] sometimes used to do a cheeky magic trick during the watchtower[god, this was the most boring of them all, i think].

he used to put his hands by his side and miraculously the books on his lap would rise all by themselves [yeah, you guessed it ...morning glory], well it made me laugh my head off.

i bet people could see my shoulders bouncing up and down from the back row.

for some of us on this forum, we're so far away from one another.

out of curiosity, do any of you have any photos of where you are from, or the communities that you live in?

here's one of toronto.

improper conduct
by zev in
1. jw
2. friends
doubtless many of us have been to assemblies, and every may the km would come out with an insert about what you were expected to do and how to act.. reviewing the km's over the years , you can see the negative positve "councel".

how to dress, how to act, howt to tip!.

after reading this, doesn't it just want to make you run to attend the next d.c. ?
